John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 33:1-20

The Prophet and the IndividualThis passage combines an expanded repetition of Ezekiel 3:17-21 with a condensed repetition of Ezekiel 18:5-29. The prophet is a watchman, responsible for warning his people of the consequences of sin. God deals with individual souls in strict justice, and desires that all should turn from their evil ways and live. These principles, already announced, became of special importance, and found their real application, after the fall of Jerusalem. As Ezekiel had... 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

§ 1. The Restoration (Ezekiel 33-39)After an introductory passage (Eze 33:1-20), and two short prophecies against the wicked survivors of Jerusalem and the careless exiles (Eze 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 34:0). As to the Land, a prophecy against Edom (Ezekiel 35:0) introduces a new address to the mountain land of Israel (Ezekiel 36:0). As... 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

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

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 33:1-33

BROKEN SILENCE Ezekiel’s commission to his own countrymen is now renewed (Ezekiel 33:21-22 ), and evidences a new tone. “Heretofore his functions had been chiefly threatening, but now the evil having reached its worst in the overthrow of Jerusalem, the consolatory element preponderates.” (See Ezekiel 22:11 .) Ezekiel 33:23-29 of the same chapter, have reference to the handful left in Jerusalem after the siege, the best commentary on which is Jeremiah 40-42.Ezekiel 33:30; Ezekiel 33:30 to the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Ezekiel 33:1-33

Divine Expostulation [an evangelistic address] Eze 33:11 We ought now and then to have an address from every pulpit that is distinctly evangelistic By an evangelistic address I mean one that is specifically designed to show men the way of salvation, and to induce them to enter it and prosecute it to the end. In a stated ministry we cannot always have such addresses; we must have steady, persevering, sober, devout exposition of the divine Word. Occasionally, however, there ought to be a... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 33:10-20

That I may not swell the bulk of this Commentary more than necessary, I refer the Reader to the observations made on Ezekiel 18:0 of this same prophecy, from Ezekiel 18:23 to the end; for the scripture itself is much to the same purport in both Chapters, and the remarks there made will for the most part be equally applicable to these verses here. read more
