The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:21-24

God saving for his own Name's sake. I. A PRINCIPLE OF DIVINE ACTION . We are here admitted to the secret council-chamber of heaven. The inner motive of God's activity is revealed to us. He shows on what grounds he proceeds in redeeming man. Man is redeemed for the sake of God's Name, and not on account of any human deserts and claims. 1. God ' s faithfulness . A person's good name is associated with his keeping his word. If a man has put his name to a document, he must... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:22

Not for your sakes … but for mine holy Name's sake . Thus Jehovah repudiates the claim of merit on Israel's part (comp. Ezekiel 36:32 ); and if Israel had no claim on Jehovah for deliverance from the Babylonish exile any more than she had at first to be put in possession of Canaan ( Deuteronomy 9:6 ), much less has fallen man a claim on God for salvation from the condemnation and dominion of sin ( Romans 11:6 ; Ephesians 2:8-10 ). As the essential holiness and righteousness of God... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:23

I will sanctify my great Name ; i.e. the name of my holiness ( Deuteronomy 28:58 ; Psalms 8:1 ; Malachi 1:11 ). As Israel's dispersion had caused that Name to be profaned, so Israel's restoration would secure that it should be magnified among the heathen ( Ezekiel 38:23 ), who should learn from this event that their previous ideas of Jehovah, as a feeble and local divinity, had been wrong. The question whether your eyes, as in the Hebrew text, or "their eyes," as in many ancient... read more

Ezekiel 36:21-23. But I had pity for my holy name That is, as it is expressed Ezekiel 20:9, I wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be polluted, or brought into disgrace, among the heathen: I preserved, reformed, brought back my people from captivity, and re-established them in their own land, for the honour of my mercy, truth, and power. Say, I do not do this for your sakes, &c. The promises I make in your favour are not owing to any desert of yours, but purely to... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 36:16-38

For the sake of God’s holy name (36:16-38)God had driven the people of Israel out of their land because their sins had made them unclean in his sight (16-19). Onlooking nations, however, did not see it that way. They mocked God, saying that the removal of Israel from its land showed that he was weak. He could not save his people from the superior gods of the nations (20-21).Therefore, God will correct this misunderstanding and restore his honour by bringing Israel back to its land (22-24). He... read more

And I will sanctify my great name, which hath been profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
