Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 33:23-33

The first message of hope 33:23-33This first message dealt with a serious defect in the Israelites. The Jews still in Judea were not listening to the whole counsel of God but were picking and choosing what they would obey (Ezekiel 33:23-29). The Jews in exile were listening to Ezekiel, but they were not responding (Ezekiel 33:30-33). If they were to profit from the messages of hope that Ezekiel proceeded to give them, all the Jews needed to respond to those he had already delivered by... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 33:28-29

God promised to desolate the land completely and to humble the pride of His people (cf. Leviticus 26:19; Leviticus 26:33). Even the mountains would be desolate, and travelers would not even pass through the land. Then they would know that He is God, when He desolated their land. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 33:1-29

§ 1. The Restoration (Ezekiel 33-39)After an introductory passage (Ezekiel 33:1-20), and two short prophecies against the wicked survivors of Jerusalem and the careless exiles (Ezekiel 33:21-33), this section describes the restoration in connexion with the Ruler, the Land and the People successively. As to the Ruler, God is pictured as the Shepherd of Israel (Ezekiel 34). As to the Land, a prophecy against Edom (Ezekiel 35) introduces a new address to the mountain land of Israel (Ezekiel 36).... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 33:1-35

The New Israel (Ezekiel 33-48)So long as the Jewish kingdom remained in existence Ezekiel’s prophecies (those in Ezekiel 1-24) dealt almost exclusively with the nation’s sin, and with the certainty of its overthrow. But when these prophecies were fulfilled by the fall of Jerusalem his message assumed a new and hopeful character. God’s punishment of Israel’s sin was not the end of His dealings with His people. The destruction of the old sinful Israel would be followed by the establishment of a... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 33:21-33

The Prophet, the Survivors, and the ExilesIn Ezekiel 24:27 it was announced to Ezekiel that the silence which began with his wife’s death and the siege of Jerusalem would be ended when fugitives from the captured cities should arrive in Babylonia. This took place a year and five months (but see on Ezekiel 33:21) after Jerusalem fell, and Ezekiel began once more to receive and proclaim messages from God. This passage contains two of these. The first was directed against the wicked survivors who... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Ezekiel 33:1-33

Ezekiel 33:8 'My own notion is,' said Keble once, 'that clergymen generally have more to blame themselves for as to neglect in the way of example and the way of intercession than in the way of direct warning.' Ezekiel 33:11 This is the motto and text of Richard Baxter's Appeal to the Unconverted, at one part of which he breaks out thus: 'Turn ye... . It is the voice of every affliction to call thee to make haste and turn. Sickness and pain cry, Turn; and poverty, and loss of friends, and... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 33:1-33

THE PROPHET A WATCHMANEzekiel 33:1-33ONE day in January of the year 586 the tidings circulated through the Jewish colony at Tel-abib that "the city was smitten." The rapidity with which in the East intelligence is transmitted through secret channels has often excited the surprise of European observers. In this case there is no extraordinary rapidity to note, for the fate of Jerusalem had been decided nearly six months before it was known in Babylon. But it is remarkable that the first... read more
