Commentary
5 notes on this verseBehold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord God,.... That is, the salvation of his people, and the destruction of their enemies; the prophecy concerning all this is come to pass, and the whole is accomplished; thus, because of the certainty thereof, it is represented as if the time was actually come, and the thing was really done; for the event is as sure as if it was now fulfilled: this is the day whereof I have spoken; by the Prophet Ezekiel and others; See Gill on Eze 38:17.
This site's exposition
Yes, it is coming
on Ezekiel 39:8-10
The Hebrew states the event as done, the prophetic perfect: “it is coming, and it will surely happen”. For seven years Israel burns the invader's weapons for fuel. “They will loot those who looted them and plunder those who plundered them” turns the coalition's purpose back on the takers.

I will turn you around and drag you along. I will bring you from the far north and send you against the mountains of Israel. Then I will strike your bow from your left hand and make your arrows drop from your right hand. On the mountains of Israel you will fall, you and all your troops and the nations with you.'
