에스겔 36:16-28 KRV

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:20

They profaned my holy Name ; or, the name of my holiness . According to Kliefoth, the subject of the verb is "the heathen," but expositors generally regard it as "the house of Israel" of Ezekiel 36:17 . Plumptre thinks that "while grammatically the words may refer to either the heathen or the exiles of Israel, possibly the sentence was purposely left vague, so as to describe the fact in which both were sharers," and cites in support of this view similar constructions in Isaiah 55:5 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:20-24

Profanation and pity. The conjunction is somewhat singular. Israel has profaned God's Name. Upon this suggestion the Lord, pitying his own Name, resolves to sanctify it, and to this end, and not for Israel's deserts, succors and restores his people. The several steps in this progress of thought should be attentively traced. I. THE ISRAELITES HAVE PROFANED GOD 'S NAME AMONG THE HEATHEN . They are universally known as the people of Jehovah. When exiled from their land,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:21

I had pity for mille holy Name . Havernick, after the LXX ; wrongly renders, "I spared (them, i.e. Israel) for my holy Name s sake; but the preposition for or "upon" following the verb usually marks the object upon which the action of the verb terminates (see Ezekiel 16:5 ). Gesenius translates, "I will be sparing of my holy Name;" i.e. I will care for its honor. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:21-24

God saving for his own Name's sake. I. A PRINCIPLE OF DIVINE ACTION . We are here admitted to the secret council-chamber of heaven. The inner motive of God's activity is revealed to us. He shows on what grounds he proceeds in redeeming man. Man is redeemed for the sake of God's Name, and not on account of any human deserts and claims. 1. God ' s faithfulness . A person's good name is associated with his keeping his word. If a man has put his name to a document, he must... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:22

Not for your sakes … but for mine holy Name's sake . Thus Jehovah repudiates the claim of merit on Israel's part (comp. Ezekiel 36:32 ); and if Israel had no claim on Jehovah for deliverance from the Babylonish exile any more than she had at first to be put in possession of Canaan ( Deuteronomy 9:6 ), much less has fallen man a claim on God for salvation from the condemnation and dominion of sin ( Romans 11:6 ; Ephesians 2:8-10 ). As the essential holiness and righteousness of God... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:23

I will sanctify my great Name ; i.e. the name of my holiness ( Deuteronomy 28:58 ; Psalms 8:1 ; Malachi 1:11 ). As Israel's dispersion had caused that Name to be profaned, so Israel's restoration would secure that it should be magnified among the heathen ( Ezekiel 38:23 ), who should learn from this event that their previous ideas of Jehovah, as a feeble and local divinity, had been wrong. The question whether your eyes, as in the Hebrew text, or "their eyes," as in many ancient... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:24

I will take you from among the heathen ; or, nations . The first step in the sanctification of Jehovah's Name. A promise already given ( Ezekiel 11:17 ; Ezekiel 20:41 , Ezekiel 20:42 ), and afterwards repeated ( Ezekiel 37:21 ). The mention of "all countries" shows the prophet's gaze to have been directed beyond the present or immediate future. The Israel of Ezekiel's time had not been scattered among and could not be gathered from all, countries; yet in the years that have passed... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:25

Then (literally, and ) I will sprinkle clean water upon you . The second step in the sanctification of Jehovah's Name, and one absolutely necessary to render the preceding either permanent or valuable, was the moral renovation of the people; and in this the first stage was the forgiveness of the people's sins. The image under which this is set forth, "sprinkling with clean water," would naturally present itself to a priest-prophet such as Ezekiel. Jarchi, Rosenmüller, Hengstenberg, and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:25

Clean water. I. SOULS NEED CLEANSING FROM SIN . Here we come to the deeper part of man's need. The Jews perceived their external disasters only too clearly. War, captivity, poverty, sickness, death, were visible evils. But they did not so readily discern the unseen spiritual evils which were behind those troubles, as their causes. The greatest calamity is not so bad as sin. While we are eager to elude the consequences of wrong-doing, God sees that the wrong-doing itself is our... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:25-27

Renewal. It is observable that, in the view of the prophet, political revival and national restoration are associated with moral and spiritual improvement and renovation. No sooner has he uttered the prediction that the people of Israel shall be delivered from their captivity and be brought back into their own land, than, in a strain of singular beauty and eloquence, he proceeds to assure his countrymen of the Divine favor revealing itself in a deeper and more precious form. Jehovah... read more
