The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:26

A new heart. We are here introduced to one of those profound utterances in which the Old Testament anticipates some of the richest truths of the New. The grace here promised was doubtless given in all ages to those who truly repented and sought it. But reading these words in the light of the gospel, we are able to see much more clearly what is their eternal significance. I. THE ESSENCE OF SALVATION IS THE RENEWAL OF THE HEART . The commonest mistake is to ignore... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:26-27

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you. The third step in the progress of sanctifying Jehovah's Name (comp. Ezekiel 11:19 , where a similar promise is made, and Ezekiel 18:31 , where the new heart is represented as a thing Israel must make for herself). This antinomy frequently occurs in Scripture, which never shrinks from holding man responsible for the production of that, as e.g. faith, for which he is incompetent without the help of Divine grace.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:26-28

The three elements of piety. The Israelites were "profaning the Name' of Jehovah in the lands through which they were dispersed. But this could not be permitted to remain. For the sake of his own Divine Name, the sacredness of which was of such vital moment to mankind (see previous homily), God would work a gracious revolution ( Ezekiel 36:21-23 ). And what he would do is this: 1. He would work within their hearts an entire change of thought and feeling, removing their strong... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 36:25

Ezekiel the priest has in view the purifying rites prescribed by the Law, the symbolic purport of which is exhibited in Hebrews 9:13-14; Hebrews 10:22. As the Levites were consecrated with sprinkling of water, so should the approved rite “sprinkling of water” thus prescribed by the Law and explained by the prophets, give occasion to the use of water at the admission of proselytes in later days, and so to its adoption by John in his baptism unto repentance. It was hallowed by our Lord when in... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 36:25

Ezekiel 36:25. I will sprinkle clean water upon you The expression here alludes to those legal purifications which were made by sprinkling water upon the unclean persons: see Numbers 8:7; Numbers 19:13. But the cleansing intended is plainly that of the soul, by the blood of Christ sprinkled upon men’s consciences to take away their guilt, (see Hebrews 9:14; Hebrews 12:24,) and by the grace of the Holy Spirit sprinkled on the whole soul, to purify it from all corrupt inclinations and... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 36:26-27

Ezekiel 36:26-27. A new heart also will I give you A new disposition of mind, excellent in itself, and vastly different from what it was before; a frame of soul changed from sinful to holy, from carnal to spiritual; a heart in which the law of God is written, Jeremiah 31:33; a sanctified spirit, in which the almighty grace of God is victorious, and turns it from the world to God, and from all sin to all holiness; a state of mind which is the supernatural gift of God, and not wrought in any... read more

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

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Ezekiel 36:25

Then . Note the time for the fulfilment of this prophecy. Not now, among the Gentiles; not now, in the Church of God; but, when Israel shall be brought back "into their own land" (verses: Ezekiel 36:16-24 ). Note the "you . . . ye . . . your", &c., of verses: Ezekiel 36:25-29 . Observe the importance of this word "Then" in other passages. See notes on Exodus 17:8 . Malachi 3:4 , Malachi 3:16 . Matthew 25:1 . 1 Thessalonians 4:17 , &c. sprinkle = throw. See Leviticus 1:5 water. See... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Ezekiel 36:25

"And I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stoney heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep mine ordinances, and do them. And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye... read more
