G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 7:1-27

The second denunciation dealt with the completeness of judgment. Its keynote was expressed in the words, "an end." The prophet declared that an end on the land and the people had been determined on, emphasizing that this final judgment would be accomplished by the act of God in order that they might know Him. The prophet then proceeded to describe that end. Its first manifestation would be the paralysis of the people, so that when the trumpet was blown for the battle, and all was ready, none... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 7:2-4

“And you, son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh to the land of Israel. ‘An end, the end has come on the four corners of the land.

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 7:1-9

Ezekiel 7. The End is Nigh. Ezekiel 7:1-1 Samuel : . The visions of doom, so vividly described in the three preceding chapters, reach their climax in this chapter, charged with emotion and palpitating with the sense of the approaching end. That end was yet more than four years off, but already Ezekiel sees it in all its horror— that day of the pitiless anger of Yahweh, who by His terrors would teach His wicked and idolatrous people who and what He was. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 7:2

Unto the land; the inhabitants who had sinned, and also to the land wherein they sinned. An end, end of God’s patience, of the peace and welfare of the people, and of the plenty, beauty, and desirableness of the land itself, is come, or is near at hand.

Upon the four corners; it is an overflowing misery, that spreads over all the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 7:1-27

5. LAMENTATION OVER THE DESOLATED LAND (Chap. 7)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—In this chapter we have not so much an additional prophecy as a re-statement of principles and denunciations which had been already formulated. It affords abundant illustration of the tendency of Ezekiel to repeat his messages, and to use even the same forms of expression. But some of the repetition here must be, moreover, accounted for by the highly excited emotions under whose influence he wrote. That these emotions should take... read more
