What Does Ezekiel 39:10 Mean?
The abundance of weapons makes logging unnecessary for seven years. This detail emphasizes both the wealth of armaments and the practical impact on Israel's life. The land is so full of resources from Gog's army that natural resources become secondary.
'They shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them' shows Israel recovering what was taken and gaining wealth from their oppressor. This divine reversal rewards Israel's faithfulness through exile. They are restored not just to safety but to prosperity, taking back from Gog's forces what had been lost.
