This phrase indicates divine retribution against Gog, a leader of a coalition of nations opposing Israel. The use of "plague and bloodshed" echoes the plagues of Egypt (Exodus 7-12), signifying God's power to protect His people and execute justice. Historically, plagues were seen as direct interventions by God, often used to demonstrate His sovereignty. Bloodshed implies a violent end, reminiscent of God's judgment on nations throughout the Old Testament, such as the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19).I will pour out torrents of rain, hailstones, fire, and sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him. This imagery of natural disasters as instruments of divine judgment is consistent with biblical accounts of God's wrath. The "torrents of rain" and "hailstones" recall the seventh plague on Egypt (<a href="/exodus/9-23.htm">Exodus 9:23-26</a>) and the defeat of the Amorites (<a href="/joshua/10-11.htm">Joshua 10:11</a>). "Fire and sulfur" are reminiscent of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (<a href="/genesis/19-24.htm">Genesis 19:24</a>), symbolizing total annihilation. These elements highlight God's control over nature and His ability to use it to fulfill His purposes. The mention of "many nations" suggests a widespread coalition against Israel, emphasizing the global scope of this prophetic conflict. This passage foreshadows the ultimate victory of God over evil, aligning with eschatological themes found in <a href="/revelation/20-7.htm">Revelation 20:7-10</a>, where God defeats the forces of evil in a final battle.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a> The sovereign Lord who executes judgment. 2. <a href="/topical/g/gog.htm">Gog</a> A leader or symbolic figure representing forces opposed to God. 3. <a href="/topical/t/troops_and_many_peoples.htm">Troops and Many Peoples</a> The armies and nations allied with Gog. 4. <a href="/topical/j/judgment.htm">Judgment</a> The divine intervention and punishment executed by God. 5. <a href="/topical/e/elements_of_judgment.htm">Elements of Judgment</a> Pestilence, bloodshed, torrential rain, hailstones, fire, and sulfur.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_in_judgment.htm">God's Sovereignty in Judgment</a> God is in control and will execute judgment in His perfect timing and manner. <a href="/topical/t/the_reality_of_divine_judgment.htm">The Reality of Divine Judgment</a> God's judgment is real and involves both natural and supernatural elements. <a href="/topical/t/the_call_to_repentance.htm">The Call to Repentance</a> Understanding God's judgment should lead us to repentance and a right relationship with Him. <a href="/topical/t/the_assurance_of_god's_justice.htm">The Assurance of God's Justice</a> Believers can trust that God will ultimately bring justice against all evil. <a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_aligning_with_god.htm">The Importance of Aligning with God</a> Aligning with God and His purposes is crucial to avoid being part of the forces opposed to Him.<a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezekiel/38.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 22, 23. - Pestilence and blood (comp. <a href="/ezekiel/5-17.htm">Ezekiel 5:17</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/14-19.htm">Ezekiel 14:19</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/28-23.htm">Ezekiel 28:23</a>)... an overflowing rain and great hailstones - literally, stones of ice (comp. <a href="/ezekiel/13-11.htm">Ezekiel 13:11, 13</a>) - fire, and brimstone, or, pitch (comp. <a href="/genesis/19-24.htm">Genesis 19:24</a>). The imagery here brought together was probably borrowed from the accounts given in the Pentateuch of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (<a href="/genesis/19-24.htm">Genesis 19:24</a>), of the plagues in Egypt (<a href="/exodus/7.htm">Exodus 7</a>. - 10.), and of the extermination of the Canaanites (<a href="/joshua/10-11.htm">Joshua 10:11</a>). The result of the whole would be to impress the minds of many nations with the conviction that Israel's God was both great and powerful, that, in fact, he was God alone. <a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/38-22.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>I will execute judgment וְנִשְׁפַּטְתִּ֥י (wə·niš·paṭ·tî) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Nifal - Conjunctive perfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8199.htm">Strong's 8199: </a> To judge, pronounce sentence, to vindicate, punish, to govern, to litigate upon him אִתּֽוֹ׃ (’it·tōw) Preposition | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_854.htm">Strong's 854: </a> Nearness, near, with, by, at, among with plague בְּדֶ֣בֶר (bə·ḏe·ḇer) Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1698.htm">Strong's 1698: </a> A pestilence and bloodshed. וּבְדָ֑ם (ū·ḇə·ḏām) Conjunctive waw, Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1818.htm">Strong's 1818: </a> Blood, of man, an animal, the juice of the grape, bloodshed I will pour out אַמְטִ֤יר (’am·ṭîr) Verb - Hifil - Imperfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4305.htm">Strong's 4305: </a> To rain torrents שׁוֹטֵף֩ (šō·w·ṭêp̄) Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7857.htm">Strong's 7857: </a> To gush, to inundate, cleanse, to gallop, conquer of rain, וְגֶ֣שֶׁם (wə·ḡe·šem) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1653.htm">Strong's 1653: </a> Rain, shower hailstones, וְאַבְנֵ֨י (wə·’aḇ·nê) Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_68.htm">Strong's 68: </a> A stone fire, אֵ֣שׁ (’êš) Noun - common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_784.htm">Strong's 784: </a> A fire and brimstone וְגָפְרִ֗ית (wə·ḡā·p̄ə·rîṯ) Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1614.htm">Strong's 1614: </a> Cypress-resin, sulphur on him עָלָיו֙ (‘ā·lāw) Preposition | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against and on וְעַל־ (wə·‘al-) Conjunctive waw | Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against his troops אֲגַפָּ֔יו (’ă·ḡap·pāw) Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_102.htm">Strong's 102: </a> Wings of an army, crowds of troops and on וְעַל־ (wə·‘al-) Conjunctive waw | Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against the many רַבִּ֖ים (rab·bîm) Adjective - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7227.htm">Strong's 7227: </a> Much, many, great nations עַמִּ֥ים (‘am·mîm) Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5971.htm">Strong's 5971: </a> A people, a tribe, troops, attendants, a flock with him. אֲשֶׁ֥ר (’ă·šer) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/ezekiel/38-22.htm">Ezekiel 38:22 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/ezekiel/38-22.htm">Ezekiel 38:22 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/ezekiel/38-22.htm">Ezekiel 38:22 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/ezekiel/38-22.htm">Ezekiel 38:22 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/ezekiel/38-22.htm">Ezekiel 38:22 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/ezekiel/38-22.htm">Ezekiel 38:22 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/ezekiel/38-22.htm">Ezekiel 38:22 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/ezekiel/38-22.htm">Ezekiel 38:22 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/ezekiel/38-22.htm">Ezekiel 38:22 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/ezekiel/38-22.htm">Ezekiel 38:22 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/ezekiel/38-22.htm">OT Prophets: Ezekiel 38:22 With pestilence and with blood will (Ezek.
