It is often used in biblical prophecy to denote a significant event predetermined by God. The "day" refers to a time of divine intervention and judgment, a common theme in prophetic literature.<p><b>when Gog comes against the land of Israel</b><br>Gog is a figure representing a coalition of nations hostile to Israel. The identity of Gog has been debated, with some associating it with historical figures or nations, while others see it as symbolic of end-time enemies. The "land of Israel" is central to biblical prophecy, often seen as the focal point of God's redemptive plan. This invasion is part of a larger eschatological narrative involving the final battles before the establishment of God's kingdom.<p><b>declares the Lord GOD</b><br>This phrase emphasizes the authority and certainty of the prophecy. It is a divine pronouncement, underscoring that the events described are part of God's sovereign plan. The use of "Lord GOD" (Yahweh Elohim) highlights both the covenantal and powerful aspects of God's character.<p><b>My wrath will flare up</b><br>God's wrath is a response to sin and rebellion, often depicted as a consuming fire. In the context of Ezekiel, it reflects God's judgment against the nations that oppose His people. This wrath is not arbitrary but is a righteous response to the defiance against God's will. It also serves as a reminder of God's holiness and justice, themes prevalent throughout the prophetic books.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/gog.htm">Gog</a></b><br>A leader or figure representing a coalition of nations opposed to Israel.

The expression, <span class="cmt_word">my fury shall come up in my face</span>; or, <span class="accented">my</span> wrath <span class="accented">ascends in rail nose</span>, has parallels in <a href="/ezekiel/24-8.htm">Ezekiel 24:8</a>; <a href="/psalms/18-9.htm">Psalm 18:9</a>; and <a href="/deuteronomy/32-22.htm">Deuteronomy 32:22</a>, and describes the vehement breathing (inhalation and exhalation) of an angry man through his nose. <span class="cmt_word">The fire of Jehovah's wrath</span> (comp. Ezekiel 21:36; 36:5) should make itself known in that day by <span class="cmt_word">a great shaking in the land of Israel</span>, which can hardly, as Kliefoth surmises, refer to the final judgment, or, as Keil thinks, to the trembling of the whole earth, with all the creatures, before the Lord, who comes to judgment, as in Joel 4:16 and <a href="/zechariah/14-4.htm">Zechariah 14:4, 5</a>, since the locality in which this convulsion of nature is to happen is expressly defined as "the land of Israel;" but must be understood, with Schroder and Smend, as a figurative description of the terrible overthrow which Jehovah should inflict upon Gog, and which should produce within the heathen mind a feeling of consternation, as if the whole fabric of the globe were falling into ruin. Grounding upon what occurred at Sinai (<a href="/exodus/19-16.htm">Exodus 19:16-18</a>), Hebrew writers generally depicted special interpositions of Jehovah as being witnessed to and accompanied by awe-inspiring natural convulsions (comp. <a href="/psalms/18-7.htm">Psalm 18:7, 15</a>; <a href="/psalms/46-2.htm">Psalm 46:2, 3</a>; <a href="/psalms/55-2.htm">Psalm 55:2</a>; <a href="/isaiah/13-9.htm">Isaiah 13:9-13</a>; <a href="/isaiah/24-19.htm">Isaiah 24:19-22</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/4-23.htm">Jeremiah 4:23-26</a>; <a href="/nahum/1-5.htm">Nahum 1:5</a>; <a href="/zechariah/14-4.htm">Zechariah 14:4</a>); and in the same manner does Ezekiel delineate Jehovah's intervention in behalf of Israel and against Gog, as so alarming that all living creatures, irrational as well as rational - <span class="cmt_word">fishes of the sea, fowls of the heaven, beasts of the field, creeping things that creep upon the earth</span> (or, <span class="accented">ground - adamah</span>), and men upon the face of the earth; or, <span class="accented">ground</span> (comp. <a href="/genesis/1-26.htm">Genesis 1:26</a>; <a href="/genesis/7-21.htm">Genesis 7:21-23</a>) -
