This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
thou he of whom I have spoken in old time - Gog, etc. are here identified with the enemies spoken of in other prophecies (Num 24:17-24; Isa 27:1; compare Isa 26:20, Isa 26:21; Jer 30:23, Jer 30:24; Joe 3:1; Mic 5:5, Mic 5:6; Isa 14:12-14; Isa 59:19). God is represented as addressing Gog at the time of his assault; therefore, the “old time” is the time long prior, when Ezekiel uttered these prophecies; so, he also, as well as Daniel (Dan 11:1-45) and Zechariah (Zec 14:1-21) are included among “the prophets of Israel” here.
