The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 37:27

God's tabernacle. I. GOD IS IN THE MIDST OF HIS PEOPLE . He is not a distant divinity seated on cloud-capped Olympus or hidden in remote heavenly regions. He visits the earth and even dwells there. We recognize his presence in the beauty of spring and the wealth of autumn; we hear his voice in the thunderstorm, and we see his glory in the sunshine. He haunts the cathedral aisles of the forest; he unveils his glory beneath the blue dome that covers the fair fields of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 37:27

The tabernacle of God with men. There can be no question that one great purpose of the appointment, first of the tabernacle, and then of the temple, as the center of the national and religious life of Israel, was to familiarize the people with the thought of God's constant presence in the midst of them, as well as to provide means and opportunities for special intercommunion between the Divine King and his subjects. The coming of Christ whose body was the temple of Deity, the coming of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 37:28

describes the effect which such a glorious transformation of Israel's character and condition, should produce upon the heathen world. They should recognize from his presence amongst his people, symbolized by the establishment in their midst of his sanctuary, that he had both the power and the will to sanctify them, by making them inwardly as well as outwardly holy; and, recognizing this, they would seek admittance to the congregation and fellowship of God's spiritual Israel. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 37:28

The sanctification of the Church a gospel for the world. I. THE SANCTIFICATION OF THE CHURCH . 1. Its form . Sanctification is essentially a being set apart for God. This involves two ideas. 2. Its character . Though the pure idea of sanctification is formal rather than moral, and means essentially a setting apart for God, it is only realized in the experience of personal holiness. 3. Its cause. God sanctifies his people. They must desire and seek the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 37:26-28

Ezekiel 37:26-28. I will make a covenant of peace with them I will grant them the blessing of peace and prosperity. Or rather, the words are to be understood in a spiritual sense, that God will be reconciled to them through Christ, and admit them into that covenant of peace of which Christ is the Mediator, and therefore is called our peace, Ephesians 2:14; and then the following words, It shall be an everlasting covenant with them, may fitly be explained of the gospel, being such a... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 37:1-28

The nation revived and reunited (37:1-28)With Jerusalem destroyed and the people in exile, Israel’s national life had come to an end. To Ezekiel it appeared as if a great army had been slaughtered in battle and the bodies of the dead left to rot in the sun. All that was left was a lot of dry bones. Israel’s condition appeared to be beyond hope (37:1-3).God now promises Ezekiel that he will do the impossible. He will bring Israel back to life - as if he brings the scattered bones together, puts... read more
