Ez 38, 1-23

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: 5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: 6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. 7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them. 8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. 9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee. 10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: 11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, 12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land. 13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? 14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it? 15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: 16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. 17 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them? 18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face. 19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; 20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. 21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother. 22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Verš 9

Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.

Ez 30:18 - At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.

Verš 2

Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,

Zjv 20:8 - And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

Verš 19

For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;

Ez 36:5 - Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.

Verš 4

And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

Ez 29:4 - But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales.

Ez 39:2 - And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:

Ez 38,1 - V hl. 38 – 39,22 prorok nehovorí už o vyslobodení zo zajatia ani o Mesiášových časoch, ale o posledných časoch, o konci sveta. Vtedy vystúpi proti Božiemu národu od všetkých doterajších mocnejší nepriateľ, ktorému prorok dáva meno Gog. Toto meno má nepriateľ Boha aj v Zjv 20,8.

Ez 38,2 - Meno Gog pripomína meno kráľa Lýdov Gygesa (na klinopisných pamiatkach sa volá Gugu). Gog v reči sumerskej znamená "tmu"; Gog zosobňuje teda tmu; preto prichádza aj z krajiny tmy, zo severu. Magog znamená: "zem Gogova". Mosoch a Tubal pozri pozn. k 27,13. Tieto mená však prorok si len prepožičiava na označenie nepriateľského národa posledných čias.

Ez 38,4 - Boh vyvedie Goga, lebo dopustí, aby zaútočil na jeho ľud, ktorému takto chce dopomôcť ku konečnému víťazstvu.

Ez 38,5 - O Púte pozri pozn. k Iz 66,18.

Ez 38,6 - Gomer sú Kimerčania (Kimmer na klinopisných pamiatkach Gimirraia). Objavujú sa najprv na asýrskom území. Vyvrátili ríšu Urarru, porazili kráľa Frýgov Midasa a kráľa Lýdov Gygesa a vyvrátili ich ríše. – O Tagormovi pozri 27,14.

Ez 38,12 - "Prostriedkom zeme" označuje sa dôstojnosť miesta, ktoré zaujíma Božie kráľovstvo.

Ez 38,13 - O Sábe pozri 1 Kr 10,1; o Dedane Iz 21,13–17; o Taršiši Iz 2,16. – Levmi sa často označujú králi a kniežatá (porov. 19,2; 32,2). Tu rozumej bohatých a vplyvných kupcov.

Ez 38,14 - Výraz "nezdvihneš sa" rozumej k útoku, prekladáme podľa LXX. Dnešná hebr. osnova a Vulg číta: "budeš vedieť", čo nedáva zmysel.

Ez 38,16 - Pozri pozn. k veršu 4.

Ez 38,17 - Ezechiel tu myslí na rozličné proroctvá svojich predchodcov, v ktorých sa predpovedá pád nepriateľov Božieho kráľovstva. Pozri Joel 3,11; Iz 24,1 n.; 25,10; 26,21; 34,2; Oz 2,18; 12,14; Mich 4,13; Hab 3,9; Sof 1,14.
