Ezek. 39:1–6 God’s opposition to Gog is repeated as the invasion of Israel proceeds. Gog’s army falls solely by the hand of God. On Meshech and Tubal, see notes on 27:13; 38:2. uttermost parts. See note on 38:6.

Ezek. 39:9 The seven years of fuel provided by the enemy’s abandoned weapons corresponds to the “seven months” of burial in v. 14.

Ezek. 39:21–24 all the nations shall see my judgment. This demonstration of God’s power serves as his defense before the nations. It also puts Israel’s exile into proper perspective. Their expulsion from their land was not because their God was incapable of protecting them. On the contrary, their sin compelled God to hide his face (vv. 23, 24; compare v. 29) from them, leaving them to the punishment they deserved for their iniquity of turning against God (see Deut. 31:18).

Ezek. 39:25–29 The final element of the oracle focuses on Israel rather than Gog. These brief verses echo many of the restoration passages in chs. 34–37, including the themes of renewal for the whole house of Israel (39:25), the turning away from previous treachery (v. 26), and the gathering and return of those once scattered (vv. 27–28).
