以西結書 37:16-22 CUNPTS

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 37:22

I will make them one nation - There was no distinction after the return from Babylon. And one king shall be king to them all - Politically speaking they never had a king from that day to this; and the grand junction and government spoken of here must refer to another time - to that in which they shall be brought into the Christian Church with the fullness of the Gentiles; when Jesus, the King of kings and Lord of lords, shall rule over all. read more

1. The view, that what the prophet beheld in vision was the final resurrection of mankind , though favored by Jerome, Calovius, and Kliefoth, must be abandoned, not because the doctrine of a general resurrection would not have been a powerful consolation to the pious-hearted in Israel, or because that doctrine was not then known, but because, in the prophet's own explanation, the bones are declared to be those, not of the whole family of man, but merely of the house of Israel. At the... read more

The two sticks. Under the image of two sticks that are joined together, Ezekiel is to symbolize the reunion of Israel and Judah that is to take place in the great restoration. We may see here illustrated a great principle, viz. that reunion accompanies restoration . It was so as a fact in the history of Israel After the restoration we no longer meet with the rivalry of the two nations that made the previous history one long quarrel. The people return to their land as one nation, for no... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 37:15-28

The "word" embodied in this section was probably communicated to the prophet at the close of the preceding vision. Its connection with this is apparent, treating as it does of the union of the then severed branches of the house of Israel, and of the subsequent prosperity which should attend united Israel under the rule of the Messianic King of the future. That this oracle, like the former, had only a temporary and partial accomplishment in the return from captivity is so obvious as to stand in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 37:15-28

Unity. As in many other instances, so here Ezekiel propounds a great moral and prophetical lesson by means of symbol. The two sticks which he is directed to join one to another into one stick represent the two divisions, the two kingdoms, of Judah and of Northern Israel, and their union represents the abolition of the distinction, the schism, which had been so injurious to the national welfare, and the formation of one people, one in brotherly love, one in mutual helpfulness, one in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 37:15-28

Union essential to highest prosperity. It is clear that this series of prophecies had, at least, a twofold meaning. These predictions pointed to beneficial changes near, visible, temporal; they pointed also to grandee events more distant, more spiritual. The fulfillment of prophecy was also another prophecy. The immediate performance of God's promise was a type of larger performance. As each harvest is a prophecy of the next, so one fulfillment of God's covenant symbolizes a fulfillment on... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 37:16

Take thee one stick, and write . The symbolic action thus prescribed to the prophet was manifestly based on the well-known historical fact that the tribes of Israel, in Mosaic times, had been represented by a rod, on which was inscribed the name of the tribe ( Numbers 17:2 ); but whether the stick Ezekiel was instructed to take was a staff, ῥάβδος ( LXX ; Hirernick, Hitzig, Kliefoth, and Smend), or a block (Ewald), or simply a piece (Keil, Schroder) of wood on which a few words might... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 37:18-20

Wilt thou not show us what thou meanest by these ? literally, what these (two pieces of wood) are to thee . The suggestion that such a request would be preferred to Ezekiel makes it clear he was meant to perform the symbolic action in public. That his countrymen should fail to understand this action accorded with their proverbial dullness of apprehension (comp. Ezekiel 12:9 ; Ezekiel 24:19 ). In explanation, the prophet was enjoined to say unto them , while holding the sticks in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 37:21-22

I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen . That tills promise was intended to find an initial and partial fulfillment in the return from Babylon is undoubted. That it was also designed to look across the centuries towards the final ingathering of God's spiritual Israel into their permanent inheritance, the heavenly Canaan, an examination of its terms shows. These clearly presuppose a wider dispersion of Israel than had then, i.e. in Ezekiel's day, taken place; and that... read more

explain how the unification of the two kingdoms should be brought about. The first step should be the bringing of the people home to their own land ( Ezekiel 37:21 , Ezekiel 37:22 ); the second, their purification from idolatry ( Ezekiel 37:23 ); the third, the installation over them, thus united and purified, of one King, the ideal David of the future, or the Messiah ( Ezekiel 37:24 , Ezekiel 37:25 ); the fourth, the establishment with them of Jehovah's covenant of peace ( Ezekiel... read more
