This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Thou shalt: sometimes such phrase declares duty and is perceptive, but here it declares the event and is predictive, Gog will, though he should not. The Hebrew might be read thus,
Thou shalt ascend as a storm, thou shalt come as a cloud. This storm is violent, with confused, tumultuous noises, and with devastation, as the word implieth; and come as a cloud, that is, as dark, as large, and as inevitable, and which continueth the violent waving storm.
To cover the land; Gog and his bands shall be a storm that overspreads the whole land.
All thy bands; troops, or wings.
Many people; many in number, great in courage and strength.
