Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 38:16

16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land: it shall be in the latter dayes, 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.

See ver. 8. let. c.

See ver. 4. let. i.

Gog gathers all from all quarters to be with him to take the spoil, God brings them together to do that among them, which may make the Heathen see, and own his hand. They do it in proud contempt of God and his people, but God doth it to glorifie his own Name, and to vindicate his people.

Confessed to be a great God over all, a gracious and faithful God to his people, and a just, though dreadful Enemie, and avenger against the wicked, and proud Tyrants.

In the sight of all the Heathen, that are with Gog in his expedition, and much more in the sight of Gods own wonderfully delivered people.

The first part of the verse, see ver. 9.
