| Ezekiel 38:21
| And I will call in the sword against him in all my mountains, saith the Lord God: every man's sword shall be pointed against his brother.
| Sword. The Jews were not in a condition to make resistance. (Calmet) --- Cambyses had his brother Smerdis slain. But another was set on the throne; whereupon, mounting his horse in a fury, he wounded himself with his sword in the thigh, which mortifying, caused his death after twenty days. (Herodotus 3:21., etc.) --- The historian does not mention what became of his army; but it seems to have perished by discord, as was very common among such a collection of nations. See Judges 7:22., and Judith 15:1., and 1 Kings 14:20., and 4 Kings 2:21. (Calmet) --- They were now without a head. (Haydock) --- In the whole universe, God will at last destroy Antichrist and all his adherents. (Worthington)
