Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 38:9

Commentary on Ezekiel 38:1-13

(Read Ezekiel 38:1-13)

These events will be in the latter days. It is supposed these enemies will come together to invade the land of Judea, and God will defeat them. God not only sees who are now the enemies of his church, but he foresees who will be so, and lets them know by his word that he is against them; though they join together, the wicked shall not be unpunished.
