Ezekiel 39:7

Verse Ezekiel 39:7. In the midst of my people Israel] This defeat of Gog is to be in Israel: and it was there according to this prophecy, that the immense army of Antiochus was so completely defeated.

And I will not let them pollute my holy name any more] See on 1Macc 1:11, c., how Antiochus had profaned the temple, insulted Jehovah and his worship, c. God permitted that as a scourge to his disobedient people but now the scourger shall be scourged, and he shall pollute the sanctuary no more.
