Ezekiel Chapter 38 Vs. 8

 Prophecy Against Gog


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. Eze. 38:8





After many days... Pointing to a future time when Israel will have been partially gathered, but not fully restored. It is called the latter years here and the latter days when the gathered Jews will dwell safely (Eze. 38:8, 38:16).

In the context of Israel’s restoration (Ezek. 34-39), the invader will make its final bid for the Land.

brought back from... Refers to Israelites who have been returned to their land, after the sword had killed or scattered many of their people. The Hebrew word used for “brought back” means “to return” or “restore.

gathered out of... Gathered is a word also frequently referring to God’s final regathering of Israel. It has begun historically and will continue until the latter days. In the final millennial kingdom, there will occur the full and spiritual regathering, when all Israel is saved to enter their promised kingdom.

shall dwell safely... Dwell safely means the Israelites’ blessed estate after God has brought them back to their land before the Antichrist breaks his covenant with them 3 ½ years into the tribulation period or Daniel's 70th week.



Gog and his allies will go against Israel in massive strength, advancing like a storm and a cloud (cf. Eze. 38:16).
