The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 11:19-20

The heart of flesh. Two mistakes are commonly made by well meaning social reformers. Too much faith is placed in external improvement, and too much power is credited to man. It is not perceived that the greatest evil is in the heart, and that the only cure can be found in the help of God. but both of these deeper truths are recognized in the passage before us. I. THE NATURE OF THE GREAT CHANGE . Ezekiel 11:17 had promised an external restoration; now we have the assurance... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 11:19-21

Compare Revelation 21:0. The identity of thought and language in Ezekiel, predicting the new kingdom of Israel, and in John, foretelling the kingdom of heaven, forces upon us the conclusion that the prophecy of Ezekiel has an ultimate reference to that climax which John plainly indicates.Ezekiel 11:19One heart - So long as the Israelites were distracted by the service of many gods, such unity was impossible; but now, when they shall have taken away the “abominations” from the land, they shall... read more

Ezekiel 11:17-20. I will even gather you from the people This might be, in some degree, fulfilled in those that returned from captivity, but the perfect completion of this promise must be referred to the time of the expected general restoration of the Jewish nation. And they shall come thither They who assemble upon Cyrus’s proclamation first, and they who afterward assemble upon Darius’s, shall overcome all difficulties, perform their journey, and come safely to their own land.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 11:14-25

Hope for the future (11:14-25)Those left in Jerusalem thought they were God’s favoured people. They thought their security was guaranteed because they lived in the city where his temple was situated. They looked upon the exiles as having been cast off by God, forsaken and unclean in a foreign land (14-15). To the contrary, Ezekiel points out that the exiles are God’s favoured people, the remnant whom he has preserved. When they repent of their idolatry and rebellion, he will bring them back to... read more

"And they shall come thither and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 11:19

Ezekiel 11:19. And I will give them one heart— These are the same evangelical promises as we read in the other prophets; particularly Jeremiah 32:39. The insensibility of men with regard to religious matters is often ascribed to the hardness of their hearts. God promises here to give them teachable dispositions, and to take away the veil from their hearts, as St. Paul expresses it, 2Co 3:16 the same temper being indifferently expressed either by blindness or hardness of heart. See Lowth. read more

18. They have eschewed every vestige of idolatry ever since their return from Babylon. But still the Shekinah glory had departed, the ark was not restored, nor was the second temple strictly inhabited by God until He came who made it more glorious than the first temple ( :-); even then His stay was short, and ended in His being rejected; so that the full realization of the promise must still be future. read more
