Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 24:1-27

FINAL ORACLES AGAINST JERUSALEMEzekiel 22:1-31; Ezekiel 24:1-27THE close of the first period of Ezekiel’s work was marked by two dramatic incidents, which made the day memorable both in the private life of the prophet and in the history of the nation. In the first place it coincided exactly with the commencement of the siege of Jerusalem. The prophet’s mysterious knowledge of what was happening at a distance was duly recorded, in order that its subsequent confirmation through the ordinary... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Ezekiel 24:1-27

Ezekiel 24:1-27 . The exact date is given by the prophet. It was the tenth day of the tenth month in the ninth year. What happened also on that date we find recorded in 2 Kings 25:1 : “And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, came, he and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.” How did Ezekiel know about all this? It was the Lord who... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 24:1-27

CLOSE OF PART ONE Lack of space makes it necessary to crowd the remainder of Part 1 into a single lesson, but nothing vital to its general understanding will be lost, as the chapters are, to a certain extent, repetitions of the foregoing. LAMENTATIONS FOR THE PRINCES (Ezekiel 19:0 ) The theme of this chapter is found in the first and last verses. The “princes” are the kings of Judah Jehoahaz, Jehoiachin and Zedekiah, whose histories were made familiar in the closing chapters of 2 Kings ,... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 24:15-27

See how the Lord is pleased to deal with his faithful servants! Here is a Prophet of the Lord bereaved of one that was near and dear to him; yea, the Lord himself calls her the desire of Ezekiel's eyes: a plain proof of his great affection for her. But yet he is not permitted to drop a tear, or to manifest the least token of grief. And all this that both by preaching and by type he might show forth the Lord's displeasure for the sins of his people. And what an awful judgment must it have been,... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 24:15-27

15-27 Though mourning for the dead is a duty, yet it must be kept under by religion and right reason: we must not sorrow as men that have no hope. Believers must not copy the language and expressions of those who know not God. The people asked the meaning of the sign. God takes from them all that was dearest to them. And as Ezekiel wept not for his affliction, so neither should they weep for theirs. Blessed be God, we need not pine away under our afflictions; for should all comforts fail, and... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 24:15-27

The Death of Ezekiel's Wife and its Significance v. 15. Also the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, v. 16. Son of man, behold, I take from thee the desire of thine eyes, his very beloved wife, with a stroke, by a sudden death; yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down, that is, Ezekiel was to abstain from every show of mourning or sorrow over the deep loss which he would sustain. v. 17. Forbear to cry, violently repressing the natural show of grief, make... read more

12. The Marking down of the Event that has taken place (the Symbolical Discourse and the Virtual Sign) (Ezekiel 24:0.)1And the word of Jehovah came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth [day] of the month, saying, 2Son of man, write [register] thee the name of the day, this same day; the king of Babylon has assailed Jerusalem on this same day. 3And utter a parable against the house of rebelliousness, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Set on a caldron, 4set it on,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 24:1-27

The final prophecy in this division described the coming destruction of the city. This was first done under the parable of a cauldron set on a fire, filled with water, and made to boil. The prophet applied his figure directly, declaring that Jerusalem was indeed a cauldron. It will be remembered that the conspirators seen by the prophet on an earlier occasion had declared that Jerusalem was a cauldron, and they the flesh, and by that had intended to indicate their safety. Ezekiel would seem... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 24:23

See Ezekiel 24:16,Ezekiel 24:17. Ye shall pine away; you shall languish with grief and secret sorrow, when you shall not dare to show it openly, lest you irritate your tyrannical masters, who will expect that nothing grieve you that rejoiceth them. For your iniquities; the punishment of your iniquities, which have made your land, city, temple, and families desolate and miserable. And mourn one toward another; in secret, Jew with Jew, you shall bewail what you durst not openly. read more
