[1] {bones}
Having announced
# Eze 36:24-38
the restoration of the nation, Jehovah now gives in vision and symbol
the method of its accomplishment. Verse 11 gives the clue. The "bones"
are the whole house of Israel who shall then be living. The "graves"
are the nations where they dwell. The order of procedure is:
(1) the bringing of the people out
# Eze 37:12
(2) the bringing of them in (v. 12);
(3) their conversion (v. 13);
(4) the filling with the Spirit (v. 14). The symbol follows.
The two sticks are Judah and the ten tribes; united, they are one
nation (vs. 19-21). Then follows (vs. 21-27) the plain declaration as
to Jehovah's purpose, and verse 28 implies that then Jehovah will
become known to the Gentiles in a marked way.
This is also the order of
# Ac 15:16,17
and the two passages strongly indicate the time of full Gentile
conversion. See also
# Isa 11:10

[1] {Gog}
That the primary reference is to the northern (European) powers, headed
up by Russia, all agree. The whole passage should be read in connection
with
# Zec 12:1-4 14:1-9 Mt 24:14-30 Re 14:14-20 19:17-21
"gog" is the prince, "Magog," his land. The reference to Meshech and
Tubal (Moscow and Tobolsk) is a clear mark of identification. Russia
and the northern powers have been the latest persecutors of dispersed
Israel, and it is congruous both with divine justice and with the
covenants (e.g.
» See Note "Ge 15:18"
» See Note "De 30:3"
that destruction should fall at the climax of the last mad attempt to
exterminate the remnant of Israel in Jerusalem. The whole prophecy
belongs to the yet future "day of Jehovah"
# Isa 2:10-22 Re 19:11-21
and to the battle of Armageddon
# Re 16:14
» See Note "Re 19:19"
but includes also the final revolt of the nations at the
close of the kingdom-age.
