And say, thus saith the Lord God, behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Which is repeated for the confirmation of it, that so it would certainly be; that the Lord, the mighty God, and King of kings, would in his providence frown upon him, and appear against him; and his titles are repeated also, to show that all his greatness, grandeur, and power, would not protect him from the vengeance of God.

Eze 38:3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

Ver. 3. Behold, I am against thee, O Gog. ] Ecce ego ad re, Have at thee, Gog,

The chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. ] These two are thus conjoined to show, as some think, that Turks and Popelings shall at length join their forces to root out the true religion, and that, while they are tumultuating and endeavouring the Church’s downfall, Christ shall come upon them and confound them. See on Rev 16:14 ; Rev 16:16 . The Jews hold that this whole prophecy shall be fulfilled at the coming of their long looked for Messiah, and while they take all things therein according to the letter, they run into many very great errors. Propheta omnia loquitur magnificis verbis per hyperbolas.

Eze 38:3. When considered as an individual. Gog refers to the leader among these barbarous people, or perhaps a line of kings with that common

title, such as the Pharaohs in Egypt or the Edwards in England. I-Ie is singled out here as the one to whom the prophet is to address his predictions.

Ezekiel was to announce that Yahweh was opposed to Gog. The Lord would reverse the fortunes of this ruler, take him captive, and bring him and his vast, impressive army out of his homeland. Putting hooks in his jaws pictures control that he would not be able to resist. The Lord would be the first cause of this action, but doubtless there would be secondary causes as well, such as Satan’s influence and human decisions (cf. 2Sa 24:1; 1Ch 21:1; Isa 10:5-19; Hab 1:5-11).
