3, 4. The righteous and the wicked] corresponding to the green tree and the dry in the parable (Ezekiel 20:47). In spite of his strict theory of retribution in Ezekiel 18, Ezekiel recognised the fact that good men as well as bad would perish in the siege of Jerusalem.10. It contemneth, etc.] RV ’The rod of my son, it contemneth every tree’ These words are almost hopelessly obscure, and the text is probably corrupt. As it stands, the meaning may be (a) that the rod (the sword) with which God... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 21:1-32

THE SWORD UNSHEATHEDEzekiel 21:1-32THE date at the beginning of chapter 20 introduces the fourth and last section of the prophecies delivered before the destruction of Jerusalem. It also divides the first period of Ezekiel’s ministry into two equal parts. The time is the month of August, 590 B.C., two years after his prophetic inauguration and two years before the investment of Jerusalem. It follows that if the Book of Ezekiel presents anything like a faithful picture of his actual work, by far... read more

Ezekiel 21:1-32 . A solemn message is given to the prophet: “Behold I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.” It was to be a widespread judgment, against all flesh. Ezekiel was commanded to sigh with bitterness before their eyes and was to tell them the cause of his grief (Ezekiel 21:1-7 ). The sharpening of the sword of judgment is given in Ezekiel 21:8-17 . It was hanging over their heads, ready to strike at... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 21:1-32

CLOSE OF PART ONE Lack of space makes it necessary to crowd the remainder of Part 1 into a single lesson, but nothing vital to its general understanding will be lost, as the chapters are, to a certain extent, repetitions of the foregoing. LAMENTATIONS FOR THE PRINCES (Ezekiel 19:0 ) The theme of this chapter is found in the first and last verses. The “princes” are the kings of Judah Jehoahaz, Jehoiachin and Zedekiah, whose histories were made familiar in the closing chapters of 2 Kings ,... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 21:18-24

Perhaps by the two ways is intended the double attack which the king of Babylon made on Jerusalem and the chief city of the Ammonites; but concerning which, as this scripture represents, he stood undetermined for a while which to destroy first. But what the Prophet is commissioned more particularly to declare thereby is, that had not sin been found in the Lord's people, no weapon of the King of Babylon could have prospered. Reader! think how more than ordinarily offensive is sin in the people... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 21:18-27

18-27 By the Spirit of prophecy Ezekiel foresaw Nebuchadnezzar's march from Babylon, which he would determine by divination. The Lord would overturn the government of Judah, till the coming of Him whose right it is. This seems to foretell the overturnings of the Jewish nation to the present day, and the troubles of states and kingdoms, which shall make way for establishing the Messiah's kingdom throughout the earth. The Lord secretly leads all to adopt his wise designs. And in the midst of the... read more

The Sword of Babylon upon Judah and upon Ammon v. 18. The word of the Lord came unto me again, saying, v. 19. Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, by means of a drawing or map showing a road branching off in two directions, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come, as his armies advanced to the conquest, both twain shall come forth out of one land, and choose thou a place, a finger-post, or pointer, to guide men aright; choose it at the head of the way to the city, placing it... read more

The Approaching Judgment (Ezekiel 21:0)1And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2Son of man, set thy face toward the right, and drop toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the south; 3And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of Jehovah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I am about to kindle in thee a fire, and it will devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree.
