The aftermath of the great battle brings an overwhelming abundance of spoils, transforming instruments of war into ordinary household fuel. The defeat of the enemy army leaves behind such a massive amount of discarded weapons that the Israelites will not even need to gather wood for heating [מצודת ציון]. The primary approach among commentators is that there will be absolutely no need to venture into the fields or forests to chop wood. The vast amount of weapons abandoned by Gog's army will be completely sufficient to fuel fires for all their daily needs [רד״ק, ביאור שטיינזלץ].
This dramatic end to the conflict brings about a complete reversal of fortunes. The Israelites will plunder the very forces that marched against them with the explicit intent to loot and destroy [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. Beyond the immediate military triumph, this event represents a profound historical closure. The people of Israel will finally claim the spoils of the nations that had looted them throughout the long years of their exile [מצודת דוד].
