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

Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel? Gog and Magog are here identified with the enemies spoken of in other prophecies (; ; cf. Isaiah 26:20; Jeremiah 30:23; ; Micah 5:5; Isaiah 14:12; ). 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) and Zechariah (Zechariah 14:1), are included among "the prophets of Israel" here.
