Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 38:17

_ _ thou he of whom I have spoken in old time — Gog, etc. are here identified with the enemies spoken of in other prophecies (Numbers 24:17-24; Isaiah 27:1; compare Isaiah 26:20, Isaiah 26:21; Jeremiah 30:23, Jeremiah 30:24; Joel 3:1; Micah 5:5, Micah 5:6; Isaiah 14:12-14; Isaiah 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 (Daniel 11:1-45) and Zechariah (Zechariah 14:1-21) are included among “the prophets of Israel” here.

_ _ many years — ago.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 38:14-23.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Ezekiel 38:17

Thus saith the Lord GOD; [Art] thou he of whom I have spoken of old (m) by my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days [many] years that I would bring thee against them?

(m) By this he declares that no affliction can come to the Church of which they have not been advertised before to teach them to endure all things with more patience when they know that God has so ordained.
