Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Ezekiel 24:1-27

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

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 24:15-27

(Ezekiel 24:15-27.)EXEGETICAL NOTES—“With a view to affect more deeply the minds of his fellow-captives Ezekiel had announced to him the disseverance of the tenderest of all earthly ties—the removal of her on whom he had ever been accustomed to look with affection and delight. This removal of his beloved wife was to be effected by a stroke, i.e., in so sudden and striking a manner as to show that it was an immediate visitation of God. Distressing, however, as this event would be, the prophet is... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 24:1-27

Ezekiel 24:1 . In the ninth year, from Jehoiachin’s captivity; or the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign. 2 Kings 25:1-2. Jeremiah 52:4. Jehoiachin, who is the same with Jeconiah, reigned one year before his nephew Zedekiah. 2 Chronicles 36:10.

The Biblical Illustrator - Ezekiel 24:15-27

Ezekiel 24:15-27So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.Sin the worst sorrowI. Other sorrows may have no evil, but even good in them; this is essentially and eternally evil. In a bereavement, in a national calamity, as also in bodily sufferings and many social griefs, it is manifest there may be no moral wrong. There may, indeed, be the highest moral good. But sin is, in its essence, in its indulgence, in its outcome,... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 24:15-27

THE DEATH OF EZEKIEL’S WIFE, AND ITS PROPHETIC LESSONS, 15-27. There is nothing in literature more pathetic than these few brief words of personal history in the midst of this flaming prophecy. They show us the strength, the nobility of the man, and of this unnamed one who proved her right to be the life companion of a prophet when Jehovah himself called her to be not merely a prophetess but a prophecy. She was so dear to him that Jehovah could use her to symbolize Jerusalem: “The pomp of your... read more
