John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 36:30

And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field ,.... The fruit of trees that grow in gardens, and orchards, and vineyards, as pomegranates, apples, olives, grapes, &c.; and the corn and grass of the field; so that there shall be great plenty of each of these, and no want of anything for man or beast: and by these are mystically designed spiritual blessings; the fruits of righteousness, with which the saints, who are trees of righteousness, shall be laden; and an... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 36:31

Then shall ye remember your own evil ways ,.... That were of their own choosing; in which they walked, and delighted to walk: and very evil ones they were; opposite to the ways of God; such as open violation of the law of God; neglect of his worship; idolatry, and many other sins, before the captivity; adhering to the traditions of their elders; and setting up their own righteousness as a justifying one afterwards; also their disbelief and rejection of the Messiah; their blasphemy against... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 36:32

Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord ,.... Not for any worth or worthiness in them; for any merit or desert of theirs; for any goodness in them, or works of righteousness done by them; no, it purely flowed from his own unmerited grace and goodness; for his own sake, and for his own glory, will he do it; see Deuteronomy 9:4 , be it known unto you ; this the Lord would have this people take notice of, who were very fond of their own righteousness and merits, and to trust therein,... read more

Thus saith the Lord God, in the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities ,.... By the free and full pardon of them; by sprinkling clean water on them, the blood of Christ on their consciences; and by applying the righteousness of Christ to them for their justification; as well as by creating clean hearts in them, for their sanctification; and enabling them by grace to escape and abstain from the pollutions of the world: I will also cause you to dwell in the cities ;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 36:34

And the desolate land shall be tilled ,.... The land of Judea, which lay desolate during the captivity, and which now is under the dominion of the Turks, and in a ruinous state, shall be manured and cultivated, and become fruitful, as it formerly was: or the people of the Jews, who, in a spiritual sense, are like barren and uncultivated ground; these shall have the fallow ground of their hearts ploughed up, and the seeds of grace, truth, and righteousness, shall be sown in them, and they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 36:35

And they shall say ,.... Either the neighbouring nations that lived round about the land of Israel, Ezekiel 36:36 , or rather the travellers, as before, who having as they passed by observed what it had been, and now see what it is; these shall say to one another: this land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden ; for delight and fruitfulness: this may well be applied to the flourishing and fruitful state of the church of God, consisting of converted Jews, in the latter... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 36:36

Then the Heathen that are left round about you ,.... Not cut off by the judgments which came upon them, according to the prophecies in chapter twenty five and twenty six, the residue of the Ammonites, Moabites, Edomites, and Tyrians; and, in the mystical sense, this may design the residue of the antichristian states not destroyed by the vials of God's wrath; see Revelation 11:13 , shall know that I the Lord build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate ; this work of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 36:24

I will take you from among the heathen - This does not relate to the restoration from Babylon merely. The Jews are at this day scattered in all Heathen, Mohammedan, and Christian countries. From these they are to be gathered, and brought to repossess their own land. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 36:25

Then - At the time of this great restoration - will I sprinkle clean water upon you - the truly cleansing water; the influences of the Holy Spirit typified by water, whose property it is to cleanse, whiten, purify, refresh, render healthy and fruitful. From all your filthiness - From every sort of external and internal abomination and pollution. And from all your idols - False gods, false worship, false opinions, and false hopes. Will I cleanse you - Entirely separate you. read more
