에스겔 33:29 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 33:21-29

Here we have, I. The tidings brought to Ezekiel of the burning of Jerusalem by the Chaldeans. The city was burnt in the eleventh year of the captivity and the fifth month, Jer. 52:12, 13. Tidings hereof were brought to the prophet by one that was an eye-witness of the destruction, in the twelfth year, and the tenth month (Ezek. 33:21), which was a year and almost five months after the thing was done; we may well suppose that, there being a constant correspondence at this time more than ever... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 33:29

Then shall they know that I am the Lord ,.... An omniscient Being, that could foresee and foretell what would come to pass; and omnipotent, able to do whatever he pleased, and true and faithful to his word; and a sovereign Lord, whose will cannot be resisted; this they should see, own, and acknowledge: when I have laid the land most desolate, because of all their abominations which they have committed : for though he is a sovereign Lord, yet he does not execute his judgments in an... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 33:21-29

Right, not might, the foundation of stable empire. The shortest path to gaining empire over men seems to be might, or might conjoined with cunning. But "things are not what they seem." The throne whose foundations have been well and slowly laid will attain to greater permanence. The oak that has been rooting itself for a hundred years will resist many a howling tempest. Things unseen are the things that endure. I. WE HAVE AN INSTANCE OF DIVINE CHASTISEMENT UNHEEDED .... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 33:23-29

The powerlessness of privilege to save. At length the prophet's lips are opened; and he who for so long has been dumb, so far as ministration to his own people was concerned, is set free to testify to the sons of Abraham. While silenced as regards Israel, Ezekiel has prophesied concerning the heathen nations. Now he again addresses his countrymen, and it is interesting to observe to what purpose he uses his recovered liberty of speech. Always candid, fearless, and faithful, the prophet... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 33:23-33

The exhortation to repentance. Ezekiel first addresses the remnant that still linger in their ancient home, and warns them against presumptuous hopes resting on false grounds Ezekiel 33:23-29; then he turns his eyes to those near him, and points out that their apparent attention to his words was illusory.Ezekiel 33:24Those wastes - The places in the holy land devastated by the conqueror.Abraham - The argument is, Abraham was but one man, and he had the promise of the land, though he did not at... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 33:28-29

Ezekiel 33:28-29. For I will lay the land most desolate I will make the land destitute of inhabitants, by the destruction which shall be made of them by the sword, by wild beasts, and the pestilence, and by their being carried into captivity. And the pomp of her strength shall cease All that wealth and magnificence wherein they pleased themselves, as that which gave them strength and reputation in the eyes of the world, are taken away: see Ezekiel 7:24. Or the phrase may denote the beauty... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 33:21-33

News from Jerusalem (33:21-33)As soon as news reached the exiles that Jerusalem had fallen as Ezekiel had foretold, Ezekiel knew that the new phase of his work was to begin. The former restrictions on his speech and movements were lifted (21-22; cf. 24:25-27).Ezekiel received news also of certain selfish and dishonest practices among the Jews who were left in the country areas of Judah. Some of these people had seized the land of those taken into exile. They argued that if Abraham (only one... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 33:21-29

B. Restoration to the Promised Land 33:21-39:29"The concept of the land is particularly significant to the six messages [Ezekiel 33:21 to Ezekiel 39:29] delivered in that one night before the news of Jerusalem’s fall reached the exiles in Babylonia [cf. Ezekiel 33:21-22]. Since Jerusalem had fallen, would the land be lost to Israel (Ezekiel 33:21-33)? It was the false ’shepherds’ of Israel who had lost the land for Israel by leading the people astray from the truth. But the true ’shepherd,’ the... read more
