以西結書 21:11 RCUVTS

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 21:1-32

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 21:8-17

This seems to be another sermon to the same amount as the former. The Lord directs His servant to continue his alarming message, and again and again to cry concerning the sword of the Lord's slaughter. And the Prophet himself is to be a sign also to the people, and to cry and howl, and to smite upon his thigh. The ministers of the Lord are expected, in times of national calamity, to take interest in all the Lord's judgments; to weep between the porch and the altar; and to look to the Great... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 21:1-17

1-17 Here is an explanation of the parable in the last chapter. It is declared that the Lord was about to cut off Jerusalem and the whole land, that all might know it was his decree against a wicked and rebellious people. It behoves those who denounce the awful wrath of God against sinners, to show that they do not desire the woful day. The example of Christ teaches us to lament over those whose ruin we declare. Whatever instruments God uses in executing his judgments, he will strengthen them... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 21:1-17

The Sword of the Lord. v. 1. And the word of the Lord came unto me, evidently in answer to his complaint, saying, v. 2. Son of man, set thy face, in firm determination, toward Jerusalem, the capital of this same south country of which the Lord had just spoken in figurative language, and drop thy word, in a stream of denunciation and threatening, toward the holy places, the various parts of the Temple, and prophesy against the land of Israel, v. 3. and say to the land of Israel, Thus... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Ezekiel 21:1-32

10. The Approaching Judgment (Ezekiel 21:0)1And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2Son of man, set thy face toward the right, and drop toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the south; 3And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of Jehovah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I am about to kindle in thee a fire, and it will devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree. The flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces shall be scorched in it... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 21:1-32

The commission was then repeated in terms of explanation. Ezekiel was to set his face against Jerusalem, and prophesy against the land of Israel, declaring that Jehovah would draw His sword out of its sheath in order to proceed in ultimate judgment against the sinning people. Moreover, Ezekiel was charged that his message was to be delivered with all the tokens of overwhelming anguish, which tokens should in themselves constitute a sign which he was to interpret to the people as the anguish... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 21:1-32

Chapters Ezekiel 20:45 to Ezekiel 21:32 . The Certain Judgment of Yahweh. In the Hebrew Bible Ezekiel 20:45 is the commencement of chapter 21, and the passage fits better with what follows. The picture moves from the overall view of history and the future to God’s certain judgments now to come on Israel. These verses consist of a number of oracles, probably occurring over a period of time. They are connected by the theme of God’s sword of judgment. read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 21:11

“And the sword is given to be polished that it may be handled, “It is sharpened, yes, it is polished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.” The exultant warsong goes on. The purpose in sharpening and polishing it is so that it might be handled, used in the hand of the slayer. God’s final war on His erstwhile people in Jerusalem and Judah is beginning. read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 21:1-32

Ezekiel 20:45 to Ezekiel 21:32 . The Terrible Sword of Nebuchadrezzar.— Here again, as shortly before (chs. 18f.), a piece of theological oratory is followed by a poem— this time a wild irregular dithyramb (esp. Ezekiel 21:8-Esther :), the text of which is, unhappily, corrupt in places to the point of desperation. But perhaps its very perplexities reflect the tumult of the prophet’ s soul. The nearer the doom approaches, the more vividly does he conceive it. Ezekiel 20:5-Ephesians : . He... read more
