Gomer, like Magog, a people descended from Japheth (Gen_10:2; 1Ch_1:5), is identified with the Cimmerians; and for the house of Togarmah, the Armenians, see Note on 27:14. In the last clause of the verse, people should be in the plural. This was to be a general gathering of the strength of the world against the Church of God.
