The great global convulsion will save Israel and destroy five-sixths of the armies of Gog (Eze 39:2), so many that it will take seven months for their burial (Eze 39:12-14). The nations of the world will be forced to recognize that this is an act of God - not merely in the legal sense, but as a very real case of direct intervention in the affairs of men by the God of creation. Most men will still reject Christ as personal Savior, but they will all "know that I am the Lord," says God. Pure atheism will no longer be an option."

TSK: Eze 38:23 - -- magnify : Eze 36:23 and I : Eze 38:16, Eze 37:28, Eze 39:7, Eze 39:13, Eze 39:27; Psa 9:16; Rev 15:3, Rev 15:4, Rev 19:1-6

Thus will l magnify myself, and sanctify myself,.... Show the greatness of his power, and the strictness of his justice and holiness, and glorify these, and all other of his perfections, in the destruction of the enemies of his people:

and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord; Heathen nations shall now come to the knowledge of the true God, and his Son Jesus Christ, and of the Christian religion, and shall embrace and profess it; See Gill on Eze 38:16, the kingdoms of the world will now become the Lord's, Rev 11:15.
