The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 39:29

I have poured out my Spirit upon the house of Israel . Already Jehovah had promised to put his Spirit in his people ( Ezekiel 36:27 ; Ezekiel 37:14 ); now the fact that he has implemented that promise by a copious effusion of the same he cites as a proof that Israel shall no more forfeit his favor because no more shall she forsake his ways (comp. Isaiah 59:21 ). The same promise had been previously given by Joel ( Joel 2:28 ), and was afterwards renewed by Zechariah ( Zechariah... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 39:29

The restored vision of God. This is a great; we may say the supreme and final, result of the restoration of Israel. While the people are eagerly craving a return to their farms and villages, with temporal prosperity, the prophet teaches them that, though these advantages are to be received in the good time coming, a better blessing wilt be the restored vision of God enjoyed by means of the pouring out of his Spirit upon the house of Israel. This is the best, the highest, the most... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 39:17-29

The purposes of the past dispensation shall be made clear to God’s people themselves and to the pagan. His judgments were the consequence of their sins; and these sins once abandoned, the favor of their God will return in yet more abundance.Ezekiel 39:29Compare Acts 2:17. Peter distinctly appropriates these prophecies (marginal references) to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, and the inauguration of the Church of Christ by that miraculous event. This was the beginning... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 39:29

Ezekiel 39:29. Neither will I hide my face any more from them I will never again withdraw my favour or protection from them, or turn from them in displeasure. For I have poured out In abundant mercy; my Spirit upon the house of Israel Which, as a Spirit of truth, shall enlighten their minds, and make them wise unto salvation; as a Spirit of grace, shall regenerate and create them anew; as a Spirit of power, shall strengthen them for every duty, and enable them to withstand and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 39:1-29

Destruction of the armies of Gog (39:1-29)Ezekiel repeats that God was the one who drew out the forces of Gog, his purpose being to destroy them (39:1-3). Their dead soldiers lie unburied in the fields, and their cities are in ashes (4-6). The terrible massacre helps people to see how frightening is the power of God when he acts in holy anger against evil (7-8).So great were the armies of Gog in size, that their weapons provide firewood for the people of Israel for the next seven years (9-10).... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 39:21-29

B. Restoration to the Promised Land 33:21-39:29"The concept of the land is particularly significant to the six messages [Ezekiel 33:21 to Ezekiel 39:29] delivered in that one night before the news of Jerusalem’s fall reached the exiles in Babylonia [cf. Ezekiel 33:21-22]. Since Jerusalem had fallen, would the land be lost to Israel (Ezekiel 33:21-33)? It was the false ’shepherds’ of Israel who had lost the land for Israel by leading the people astray from the truth. But the true ’shepherd,’ the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 39:29

The Lord would no longer prove inaccessible to His people because He would bestow His Spirit on all the Israelites. [Note: See Cooper, p. 349, for a helpful chart contrasting nine ideals present in Eden, lost in the Fall, and restored to Israel in the future, drawn from chapters 33-39.] There are at least eight views as to the time of this future invasion.1. The invasion is only symbolic of the attempts of evil forces to overcome God’s people. [Note: E.g., Allen, Ezekiel 20-48, p. 210; and... read more
