After many days — In the latter days of the Messiah's kingdom among men. In the later years — These must be cotemporary with the many days already mentioned. Thou — Gog with all thy numbers. The land — The land of the Jews, a people recovered from captivity, into which the sword of their enemy had brought them. Always waste — It is already two thousand four hundred years since the ten tribes were carried away by Salmanezer. But it — The land of Canaan, that is, the people of it.

8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
