Ezekiel 21:26-27 NIV

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 21:27

I will overthrow. The sentence of destruction is emphasized, after the Hebrew manner, by a threefold iteration ( Isaiah 6:3 ; Jeremiah 22:29 ). It shall be no more. The pronoun in both clauses probably refers to the established order of the kingdom and the priesthood. "That order," Ezekiel says, "shall be no more." Keil, however, takes the second "it"—the "this" of the Revised Version—as meaning the fact of the overthrow. That also was not final; all things were as in a state of flux... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 21:27

Revolution and restoration. I. REVOLUTION . God overturns Israel and its institutions by repeated acts in the successive invasions of Nebuchadnezzar. The ruin is utter. No city has sustained so many sieges as Jerusalem, or has been so often sacked and destroyed. Now, we are reminded that these terrible disasters are elements in a Divine judgment and discipline. It is God who overturns. There is, therefore, a providential purpose in the event. 1 . Revolution must precede... read more

Mundane revolutions. "I will overturn, overturn, overturn it; and it shall be no more," etc. I. THE CONTINUITY OF MUNDANE REVOLUTIONS . "I will overturn, overturn, overturn it." The Lord thus declares his determination to overthrow again and again the government of the Jews, until the coming of the Messiah, their rightful Sovereign. The words may also point, as Scott remarks, to "the repeated subversions of the Jewish nation by the Chaldeans, Macedonians, Romans, and many... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 21:18-32

The third word of judgment. The king of Babylon’s march upon Judaea and upon the Ammonites. Destruction is to go forth not on Judah only, but also on such neighboring tribes as the Ammonites (compare Jeremiah 27:2-3).Ezekiel 21:19Appoint thee - Set before thee.Choose thou a place, choose it - Rather, “mark a spot, mark it,” as upon a map, at the head of the two roads, one leading to Jerusalem, the other to Ammon. These were the two roads by one or other of which an invading army must march from... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 21:25-26

Ezekiel 21:25-26. And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel The words are directed to Zedekiah, whom the prophet calls profane and wicked, chiefly with respect to his breaking that solemn oath, uttered in the name of God, whereby he had engaged himself to be tributary to the king of Babylon. By this action he and his courtiers did great dishonour to the true God. The king of Babylon, it appears, kept the oath which he sware to them by his false gods, while they broke the oath which they... read more

Ezekiel 21:27. I will overturn, overturn, overturn it By several degrees I will utterly overthrow the kingdom of Judah; and it shall be no more It shall never recover its former lustre and dignity; until he come, &c. Till the Messiah come to take his kingdom. To the same purpose is Lowth’s paraphrase on the verse: “After that Zedekiah is deprived of his regal authority, there shall be no more kings of that family till Christ come, the King so often foretold and promised, who in due... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 21:18-32

No possibility of escape (21:18-32)In another acted message, the prophet drew a map on the ground, showing a road out of Babylon that branched in two directions. One led to Jerusalem, the other to Rabbah, capital of Ammon. By means of markings on the map, Ezekiel indicated that the king of Babylon had arrived at the road junction and was trying to decide whether to go and attack Rabbah or go and besiege Jerusalem. The king used three superstitious methods to determine which way to go: drawing... read more
