Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 39:6

"And I will send a fire on Magog, and on them that dwell securely in the isles; and they shall know that I am Jehovah." — Ezekiel 39:6 (ASV)

A fire on Magog.— Magog is the country of Gog (Ezekiel 38:1), and the Divine judgment is therefore to fall not only upon the army in the land of Israel, but also upon the far-distant country of Gog. In Revelation 20:9, this fire is represented as coming down from God out of heaven.

In the isles. —This common Scriptural expression for the remoter parts of the earth is added here to show the universality of the judgment upon all that is hostile to the kingdom of God.
