In the ancient Near East, wood was a crucial resource for daily life, used for cooking, heating, and building. The implication here is that the spoils of war, specifically the weapons of the defeated enemies, will be so plentiful that they will serve as an alternative fuel source. This reflects a reversal of fortunes, where the Israelites, often depicted as oppressed or in need, find themselves in a position of abundance. The imagery of not needing to gather wood suggests a period of peace and security, as the need to forage for basic necessities is eliminated.for they will use the weapons for fuel The use of weapons as fuel symbolizes the complete and total defeat of Israel's enemies. In biblical times, weapons were made of materials like wood and metal, which could be repurposed. This act of using weapons for fuel signifies not only the practical reuse of resources but also a deeper spiritual victory where instruments of war are transformed into tools for sustaining life. This transformation echoes prophetic visions of peace, such as in <a href="/isaiah/2-4.htm">Isaiah 2:4</a>, where swords are beaten into plowshares. It underscores the theme of God’s sovereignty and His ability to turn instruments of destruction into means of provision and peace.They will loot those who looted them and plunder those who plundered them This phrase highlights a divine reversal of roles, where the oppressed become the victors. Throughout the Old Testament, Israel often faced plundering by surrounding nations due to disobedience or as a test of faith. Here, the tables are turned, fulfilling promises of restoration and justice found in passages like <a href="/deuteronomy/30-7.htm">Deuteronomy 30:7</a>, where God promises to bring curses upon Israel's enemies. This reversal is not merely a human victory but a demonstration of divine justice, where God vindicates His people and restores what was lost.declares the Lord GOD This declaration emphasizes the authority and certainty of the prophecy. The use of "Lord GOD" (YHWH Elohim) underscores the covenant relationship between God and Israel, reminding the reader of God's faithfulness and power. It assures that the events described are not merely hopeful wishes but are guaranteed by the sovereign will of God. This phrase serves as a reminder of God's ultimate control over history and His commitment to fulfilling His promises to His people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a> The nation of Israel is the primary subject of this prophecy, representing God's chosen people who will experience deliverance and restoration. 2. <a href="/topical/g/gog_and_magog.htm">Gog and Magog</a> These are symbolic of the enemies of Israel, representing forces that oppose God's people and His plans. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord_god.htm">The Lord GOD</a> The sovereign deity who declares the outcome of the battle and the restoration of His people. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_battle.htm">The Battle</a> A prophetic event where God intervenes to defeat the enemies of Israel, leading to their weapons being used as fuel. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_plundering.htm">The Plundering</a> The reversal of fortunes where Israel plunders those who once plundered them, symbolizing divine justice and restoration.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/d/divine_provision.htm">Divine Provision</a> God provides for His people in unexpected ways, turning instruments of war into resources for daily life. <a href="/topical/r/reversal_of_fortunes.htm">Reversal of Fortunes</a> God's justice involves reversing the fortunes of His people, turning their oppressors into the oppressed. <a href="/topical/s/sovereignty_of_god.htm">Sovereignty of God</a> The passage underscores God's control over history and His ability to bring about His purposes despite human opposition. <a href="/topical/p/peace_and_restoration.htm">Peace and Restoration</a> The transformation of weapons into fuel symbolizes a future peace and restoration that God promises to His people. <a href="/topical/t/trust_in_god's_justice.htm">Trust in God's Justice</a> Believers are encouraged to trust in God's ultimate justice and His ability to vindicate His people.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_ezekiel_39.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Ezekiel 39</a> <a href="/q/did_jesus_deceive_his_brothers.htm">How do Jesus' teachings relate to the 613 commandments?</a> <a href="/q/who_was_the_guardian_of_eden's_east.htm">Who was the guardian of Eden's east?</a> <a href="/q/how_can_weapons_burn_for_7_years.htm">How can Ezekiel 39:9-10 realistically describe weapons burning for seven years without a consistent fuel source or evidence of such an event in recorded history?</a> <a href="/q/is_ezekiel_9_symbolic,_not_literal.htm">Could Ezekiel 9 be interpreted as a purely symbolic vision rather than a literal event, and if so, why include graphic details?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a> <a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/39-10.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>They will not וְלֹֽא־ (wə·lō-) Conjunctive waw | Adverb -
