I will It is probable that none of the invaders will escape, but perhaps the inhabitants of Magog in general are meant. The immense army of Gog, led forth against Israel, will almost empty his land; and the subsequent judgments of God upon those that remain at home, will reduce them to a sixth of the whole. Ps 40:14, Ps 68:2; Isa 37:29
leave but the sixth part of thee or, strike thee with six plagues; or, draw thee back with a hook of six teeth, as Ezek 38:4. and will cause. Ezek 38:15; Dan 11:40

and shall Ezek 39:10; Josh 11:6; Ps 46:9; Zech 9:10
set on fire The language here employed seems to intimate that the army of Gog will be cut off by miracle, as that of Sennacherib; for the people are described as going forth, not to fight and conquer, but merely to gather the spoil, and to destroy the weapons of war, as no longer of use., hand staves, or, javelins
and they When the immense number and destruction of the invaders are considered, and also the little fuel comparatively which is necessary in warm climates, we may easily conceive of this being literally fulfilled.
