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

Joseph Parker

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 33:21-29

By comparing what the Prophet Jeremiah, in his history of the Church hath recorded, with what is here written, we discover that it was a whole year, and more, from the destruction of Jerusalem to Ezekiel's knowing it. See Jeremiah 52:4-14 . I desire the Reader to turn to the 24th Chapter, verses 24 to the end, as he reads what is here said. The Lord there promised Ezekiel, that he would send a Messenger to him when Jerusalem was overthrown; and that then the Lord would open his mouth. See here... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 33:21-29

21-29 Those are unteachable indeed, who do not learn their dependence upon God, when all creature-comforts fail. Many claim an interest in the peculiar blessings to true believers, while their conduct proves them enemies of God. They call this groundless presumption strong faith, when God's testimony declares them entitled to his threatenings, and nothing else. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 33:21-33

The Relation of the People to Ezekiel v. 21. And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that is, a year and a half after the capture of Jerusalem, since Ezekiel was living in a very remote part of Babylon, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten, the appalling news of the overthrow of Jerusalem thus being brought to the prophet's attention in a most abrupt manner. v. 22. Now, the... read more

THE RENEWAL OF EZEKIEL’S DIVINE MISSION.—Ch 33.1And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2Son of man, speak to the sons of thy people, and say to them, When I bring a sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from their borders, and set him for3their watchman; And he sees the sword coming upon the land, and blows4the trumpet, and warns the people; And any one... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 33:1-33

Ezekiel next delivered a series of messages concerning the chosen nation. The first message described the function and responsibilities of the prophet under the figure of a watchman. In the day of danger a watchman was appointed to give notice of the approach of an enemy. If he did his duty and his warning was not heeded, the blood of the slain would be on their own heads. If he failed to give warning and people were slain their blood would be on his head. That was the position occupied by... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Ezekiel 33:27-33

Hearers, but Not Doers Ezekiel 33:27-33 INTRODUCTORY WORDS This prophecy of Ezekiel had to do with a people who were outwardly religious, but inwardly were far from God. They would come before the Lord, and sit before Him as His people. They would even go so far as to show much love, with their mouths. He was, unto them, a very lovely song; or, as one with a pleasant voice; or, as one who could play well upon an instrument. However, their hearts were continually going out after... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Ezekiel 33:28-33

The Judgments of God Ezekiel 33:1-13 , Ezekiel 33:28-33 INTRODUCTORY WORDS It may not be pleasant, but it is necessary to warn the saint and the sinner against coming judgments. 1. We need to warn the church against her coming judgments. Even now we can see the gathering of the storm. The church has grown so worldly, so self-centered, so self-reliant; the church, in many places, has gone so far from the faith, denying the very Lord God who bought them, denying everything that is vital to... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 33:29

“Then will they know that I am Yahweh, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, because of all their abominations which they have committed.” The people who remained continued in the abominations described above. So instead of returning to Yahweh and listening to Jeremiah, assassination and warfare continued among those remaining, and those who joined them. There was a short civil war and then those who remained left for Egypt taking Jeremiah with them (Jeremiah 41-43). Thus... read more
