Ezekiel 38:7

"Gomer, and all his hordes; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of the north, and all his hordes—even many peoples with you."

Key Reflection

This verse describes a coalition of northern tribes and nations coming together against Israel, symbolizing the gathering of diverse forces aligned against God's people. The inclusion of "many peoples" underscores the broad and unexpected nature of this coalition, reflecting how God can unite unlikely allies to test His nation’s faithfulness and prepare them for ultimate deliverance.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Spoken ironically. Make all thy preparations, they will be in vain.
