Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 20:44

Ezekiel 20:44. And ye shall know, &c.— The idea of mercy is naturally attached to that of repentance and reformation; and with mercy the prophesy concludes. The reader hath now a comment on the whole prophesy, whereby he may understand how justly it hath acquired its eminent celebrity: its general subject being no less than the fate and fortunes of the Jewish republic; of which the several parts are so important, so judiciously chosen, so elegantly disposed, and so nobly enounced, that we... read more

1. The history of Israel’s rebellion and Yahweh’s grace 20:1-44The structure of this passage is quite clear. It consists of a review of Israel’s history with an introduction and a concluding application."The chapter is remarkable in that it shows a uniform moral plane sustained by the nation throughout its history." [Note: Feinberg, p. 108.] Other important themes in this chapter include God’s faithful grace in spite of Israel’s persistent rebelliousness, the repetition of a wilderness... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 20:43-44

Back in the land then the Israelites would remember their past sins and loathe themselves. They would also come to know the Lord for the kind of God He is because they would recognize how graciously He had dealt with them as a people.The prospect of future grace, restoration, and blessing has always been the strongest motivation for present holiness (Romans 2:4). This is why this message ends as it does."The prophet Ezekiel straddled two eras, the grim era of the past and present which... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 20:1-44

History Repeating itselfSome four years before the fall of Jerusalem the elders of Tel-abib again came to consult Ezekiel, who declared that God had no answer to give them. The reason was that their enquiry was insincere, and this passage is consequently an illustration of the principle of Ezekiel 14:3. The exiles were beginning to avow idolatrous tendencies (Ezekiel 20:32), with which the elders were in secret sympathy. Ezekiel recounted how God had dealt with Israel’s idolatrous spirit in the... read more

Ezekiel 20:16 Here enters the fatal circumstance of Idolatry, that, in the era of the Prophets, no man's mind is any longer honestly filled with his Idol or Symbol. Before the Prophet can arise who, seeing through it, knows it to be mere wood, many men must have begun dimly to doubt that it was little more. Condemnable Idolatry is insincere idolatry.... It is equivalent to what we call Formalism, and Worship of Formulas, in these days of ours. No more immoral act can be done by a human... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 20:1-49

JEHOVAH’S CONTROVERSY WITH ISRAELEzekiel 20:1-49BY far the hardest trial of Ezekiel’s faith must have been the conduct of his fellow-exiles. It was amongst them that he looked for the great spiritual change which must precede the establishment of the kingdom of God; and he had already addressed to them words of consolation based on the knowledge that the hope of the future was theirs. {Ezekiel 11:18} Yet the time passed on without bringing any indications that the promise was about to be... read more
