Ezekiel 39:6

“And I will send a fire on Magog, &c.] On the land of Magog; (see <263802> Ezekiel 38:2), 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: and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: 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--in self-confident security. the isles--Those dwelling in maritime regions, who had helped Gog with fleets and troops, shall be visited with the fire of God's wrath in their own lands.”

“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 Gog’s feelings of hatred and opposition to the kingdom of God. return to 'Top of Page'”

“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.
