The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 39:21-29

God's revelation of himself a fount of blessing. Ignorance of God and strength of animal appetite are the two primal founts of ungodliness. Animal appetite is, in order of time, the first source of vice; but as the understanding opens to receive knowledge, this source of evil may be checked. To this end God deigns to make himself known. A clear vision of God is a strong antidote to evil propensity. Faith in God is the great regenerative principle. Therefore, through the procession of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 39:21-29

God his own Interpreter. The final result of this great conflict between Gog and the people of Jehovah will prove to be that God's Name is hallowed as it never was before. There had been great misconstruction of his ways and mistake as to his purpose, but all should be made clear. I. GOD MUCH MISUNDERSTOOD . How seriously and sadly God has been and is misunderstood is seen in the facts that II. GOD IMPERFECTLY EXPLAINED . Many, indeed, have been the interpreters who... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 39:23-24

Sin and its consequences. I. THE DREADFUL EVIL OF SIN . Pain is a mystery, but sin is a darker mystery. We instinctively shrink from death as the last dread enemy, but death is not so great a foe as sin. We must go to the Bible for a revelation of sin in its extent and its depth. The Greeks were acute thinkers on most subjects connected with human experience, but they were singularly obtuse to moral distinctions. In the Bible we see a true mirror held up to the world's sin.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 39:23-24

The Divine reason for Israel's captivity. Israel is in prophecy the representative of mankind, of the "new humanity" that God has redeemed to himself and appointed to everlasting life. In every dispensation, in all God's dealings with men, there has been the manifestation of wisdom. Nothing that God has done has been done without a purpose, an intention. Faith convinces us of this. And Scripture sometimes, as in this passage, gives us an insight into the Divine counsels, and points out to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 39:25

I will bring again the captivity of Jacob . (For the use of "Jacob" as a designation of the people, see Ezekiel 28:25 ; Ezekiel 37:25 .) The promise goes back to Deuteronomy 30:3 ; Jeremiah 29:14 ; Jeremiah 30:3 ; Jeremiah 31:23 ; Jeremiah 32:44 ; and other passages. That its fulfillment began with the return from Babylon is not inconsistent with the view that its fulfillment will terminate with the final ingathering of Israel out of the nations by her conversion to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 39:25-29

This section Hengstenberg regards as the close of the whole system of prophecies of a predominantly comforting character from Ezekiel 33:21 onwards;" Keil views it as the proper conclusion to the prophecy concerning Gog and the series of predictions from Ezekiel 35:1 onwards. It is in substance a recapitulation of God's gracious promise to bring again the captivity of Israel, of which the prophet had just been reminded in verse 23, and to which accordingly he now in thought goes back. It... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 39:25-29

The glorious restoration. I. THE PEOPLE WHO ENJOY IT . 1. The people of God . This is promised for the Jews, the ancient people of God. God does not forget his people in their captivity any more than he forgot them in their Egyptian bondage. Now, we know that God regards the whole human race as one family ( Acts 17:26 ). Though many reject him and many know him not, he cares for all. As all belong by right to their heavenly Father, so the perfect restoration in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 39:25-29

Israel's restoration a proof of Divine mercy. The reader of this passage cannot but be impressed with the conviction that it has reference, not only to Israel, but to the redeemed race of man. His interest in it is not merely historical; it is personal and moral. There is a largeness, a fullness, in the promises given, which can scarcely be exhausted by the immediate reference to the return from the Oriental captivity. I. DELIVERANCE AND RESTORATION ARE WROUGHT BY THE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 39:26

After they have borne their shame (comp. Ezekiel 16:52 , Ezekiel 16:54 ; Ezekiel 32:24 , Ezekiel 32:30 ; Ezekiel 34:29 ; Ezekiel 36:6 ). The captivity of Israel would not be brought back until her people had been thoroughly chastised for their iniquities, and that chastisement had wrought in them a spirit of penitence and a disposition towards obedience. Then should Jehovah interpose for their deliverance by gathering them out of their enemies' lands and leading them back to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 39:28-24

And the heathen shall know . The special lesson for them should be not so much teaching concerning God's supremacy over them, or concerning their relation to Israel, as concerning the principles of God's dealings with Israel. They should learn that if Israel had for a season been abandoned to the sword and driven into exile, it was not because of Jehovah's inability to protect them, but because of their wickedness which had caused him to hide his face from them—an expression which in Ezekiel... read more
