6<\/strong>. Magog is the name of the country of Gog.<\/p>\n in the isles<\/em> ] the countries<\/strong>, i.e. the distant lands of the earth. The armies of Gog and his allies are annihilated on the mountains of Israel, but the judgment extends simultaneously to their distant abodes, that the ends of the earth may know and fear the Lord.<\/p>\n The judgment is extended to the isles (or, seacoast) to show that it should fall not only on Gog and his land, but on those who share Gogs feelings of hatred and opposition to the kingdom of God.<\/P><\/p>\n Verse 6<\/span>. I will send a fire on Magog<\/B><\/I>] On Syria. I will destroy the Syrian troops.<\/P> <\/P> And among them that dwell carelessly in the isles<\/B><\/I>] The auxiliary troops that came to Antiochus from the borders of the Euxine Sea.-Martin<\/I>.<\/P> <\/p>\n I will send, <\/B>by an unusual judgment from God, a fire; either civil dissensions, such as Egypt was consumed by, Eze 30:16<\/span>; or else the destroying pestilence, which always carrieth with it a burning distemper or fever; or that fire and brimstone mentioned Eze 38:22<\/span>. Or whatever this fire was, it should devour and lay desolate. <\/P> Them that dwell carelessly; <\/B>who perhaps thought their situation would be their safety; though Gog fell on the land, the ships and isles might escape; not so, for the same hand will send the fire on the isles and their inhabitants which sent it on Gag. Possibly the Tyrians and Sidonians may be aimed at. <\/P> <\/p>\n 6. carelessly<\/B>inself-confident security. <\/P> the isles<\/B>Thosedwelling in maritime regions, who had helped Gog with fleets andtroops, shall be visited with the fire of God’s wrath in their ownlands.<\/P><\/p>\n And I will send a fire on Magog<\/strong>,…. On the land of Magog; see<\/p>\n Eze 38:2<\/span>, while Gog is in the land of Israel, and he and his army perish there, his country shall be destroyed by fire, or by some judgment or judgments of God, which shall consume like fire. The Septuagint version renders it, “I will send a fire on Gog”; but he before is said to fall upon the mountains of Israel; his country is meant; it designs the destruction of the Ottoman empire:<\/p>\n and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles<\/strong>: that belong to the Turkish dominions; not only the habitants of the Continent shall be consumed, but those that dwell in islands, and think themselves safe and secure, and so live carelessly; or such who live on the sea coasts, it being usual in Scripture to call such places isles; and may intend those who dwell near the Exine and Caspian seas:<\/p>\n and they shall know that I am the Lord<\/strong>: by his judgments executed upon them.<\/p>\n (6) A fire on Magog.<\/strong>Magog is the country of Gog (Eze. 38:1<\/span>), and the Divine judgment is to fall therefore not only upon the army in the land of Israel, but also upon the far-distant country of Gog. In Rev. 20:9<\/span> this fire is represented as coming down from God out of heaven.<\/p>\n In the isles.<\/strong>This common Scriptural expression for the remoter parts of the earth is added here to show the universality of the judgment upon all that is hostile to the kingdom of God.<\/p>\n 6-7<\/strong>. <\/strong> God’s wrath follows the invaders even to their own land, and the rain of fire (Eze 38:22<\/span>) falls upon those who have remained at home, dwelling “securely” in their distant isles <\/strong> (or, coast lands<\/em>), in order that they, too, may recognize Jehovah’s holiness and never “profane” his name by supposing that the people who trust in him can be defeated (Eze 39:23<\/span>; see note Eze 36:20<\/span>).<\/p>\n “And I will send a fire on Magog, and on those who dwell securely on the isles\/coastlands, and they will know that I am Yahweh.”<\/p>\n We note now an expansion of God’s judgments. The lands of those who attacked his people will likewise suffer (compare the vivid picture in Jdg 5:28-30<\/span>). They thought that they were safe because of their massive forces, and awaited the return of the armies with great booty. But instead they will have to recognise the power of Yahweh’s judgments. The furthest peoples will be involved. God’s judgments are far reaching and total.<\/p>\n The isles and coastlands (the peoples across the seas) have not previously been mentioned. Along with all previously mentioned the whole of Ezekiel’s distant world has now been included in the catastrophe.<\/p>\n Eze 39:6<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>I will send a fire, <\/em><\/strong>&c.<\/strong> That is, into the country of Gog. Gog <\/em>is supposed to dwell or to have dwelt between the Caspian and the Euxine sea; which is referred to by the expression in the isles, <\/em>or on the maritime coasts. This fire <\/em>seems to signify that the land, after the army of Gog had left it, should be laid waste by the neighbouring people. <\/p>\n Eze 39:6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.<\/p>\n Ver. 6. And I will send a fire on Magog.<\/strong> ] So God will one day on Rome, that Radix omnium malorum<\/em> root of all evil things. Rev 18:18-19 <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And among them that dwell carelessly in the isles.<\/strong> ] Who must not think there to moat up themselves against my fire.<\/p>\n isles = coasts, or maritime lands. <\/p>\n they shall know, &c. See note on Eze 6:10. <\/p>\n the LORD. Hebrew. Jehovah. App-4. <\/p>\n I will: Some terrible judgment will destroy the countries whence the army of Gog was led forth, about the same time that the army itself shall be cut off. Eze 30:8, Eze 30:16, Eze 38:19-22, Amo 1:4, Amo 1:7, Amo 1:10, Nah 1:6 <\/p>\n carelessly: or, confidently, Eze 38:11, Jdg 18:7 <\/p>\n in the isles: Eze 38:6, Eze 38:13, Psa 72:10, Isa 66:19, Jer 25:22, Zep 2:11 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Jer 46:25 – and all Jer 49:31 – that Eze 22:16 – thou shalt know Eze 30:9 – careless Eze 35:15 – and they Eze 37:6 – ye shall Rev 20:9 – and fire<\/p>\n Eze 39:6. Magog is the country from where the above army of invasion came. Its people were dwelling carelessly which means they were feeling secure and were not thoughtful of any possible danger. Isles denotes inhabited spots, and the meaning is that the various places within the domain of Magog will feel the force of God’s wrath.<\/p>\n 39:6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell securely in the {c} isles: and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.<\/p>\n (c) That is, among all nations where the enemies of my people dwell, no matter how separate they seem.<\/p>\n And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I [am] the LORD. 6.
