エゼキエル書 37:22-23 JCB

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 37:1-28

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 37:1-28

Dry Bones Ezekiel 37:0 All this is seen, not in literal reality, but in spiritual dream and vision. Again we ask the question, What is reality? It may be that the things which we call real are not things at all; they may be but transient and misleading shadows. Let us be careful how we talk about reality. Vision is the larger life. A man is still a man in his dreams. He may not be able to put them together well, or to read their enigmas fluently and precisely; but they are still efforts of the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 37:15-28

As the Prophet was taught by vision, the wonderful subject of Israel's recovery through grace; so here by figure, he is taught also the wonderful union that is one day to take place in that family, that is now so scattered and divided. And this will be, whenever it is accomplished, as complete a miracle, and as much to be referred solely into sovereign grace as the former. We have reason to believe, that our elder brethren the Jews, are at this moment scattered over all the parts of the... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 37:15-28

15-28 This emblem was to show the people, that the Lord would unite Judah and Israel. Christ is the true David, Israel's King of old; and those whom he makes willing in the day of his power, he makes to walk in his judgments, and to keep his statutes. Events yet to come will further explain this prophecy. Nothing has more hindered the success of the gospel than divisions. Let us study to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace; let us seek for Divine grace to keep us from detestable... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 37:15-28

The Symbolical Action with the Sticks v. 15. The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying, v. 16. Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, literally, "a wood," that is, a piece of wood or rod, probably in allusion to Numbers 17:2, and write upon It, "For Judah," or "Judah's, pertaining to Judah," " and for the children of Israel, his companions", the reference being to the members of the northern tribes who had joined their cause with that of Judah after the Assyrian conquest, 2... read more

3. The Vision of the Resurrection and Re-quickening of the Dead Bones, and the Symbolical Action with the One Stick out of the Two Sticks, along with the Interpretation (Ch. 37)1The hand of Jehovah was upon me, and [as] Jehovah took me out in the Spirit and made me rest [brought me, set me down] in the midst of the 2valley, and it was full of bones. And He led me over by them round about, and behold, [there were] very many on the surface of the valley, and behold, 3[they were] very dry. And He... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 37:1-28

The wonderful vision of the valley filled with bones was now granted to the prophet. As he gazed on them, he was asked, "Son of man, can these bones live?" His utter abandonment to God, even in the matter of his conception, was evident in his reply, "O Lord God, Thou knowest." Over these bones he was then told to prophesy, commanding the people to hear the word of the Lord, proclaiming to them the promise that breath should enter into them and flesh be restored to them. He obeyed, and beheld... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 37:22

A REUNITED ISRAEL‘No more two nations.’ Ezekiel 37:22 Because they are ‘My people,’ Jehovah makes the leading out of exile and the return to Canaan to be prophesied to them. I. In view of the Messiah, He promises them a united nationality, and the inhabiting of Canaan for ever, the peaceful possession of the land.—The promise here has nothing to do with individuals. After the people of Israel relinquished their claim to nationality in presence of the manifested Messiah, there can be no... read more
