Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 36:16-38

Israel’s Inglorious Past and Their Glorious Future (Ezekiel 36:16-38 ). As we consider this section we should pause to consider the nature of Biblical prophecy. A Biblical prophet was not a foreteller like Nostradamus is seen as being, who declared events that would happen in the future so that people could mark them off and satisfy their curiosity about particular future historical events, he was rather one who declared what God was going to do. In his prophecy he was concerned with ends... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 36:21-23

God Will Restore His Reputation By What He Will Do In Returning the People to the Land and Pouring Out His Spirit on Them (Ezekiel 36:21-38 ). “But I had pity for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations to which they went. Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Yahweh, I do not act for your sake, O house of Israel, but for my holy name which you have profaned among the nations to which you went. And I will sanctify my great name which has been... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 36:16-38

Ezekiel 36:16-Zechariah : . The Cleansing and Renewing of the People.— This is a passage of peculiar interest and importance, carrying us as it does far into the mind and theology of Ezekiel. First, we are reminded that Israel’ s sins— of bloodshed (whether child sacrifice or judicial murder) and idolatry— had obliged Yahweh to drive them into exile. In this way they had “ profaned His holy name among the nations,” who, according to ancient notions, naturally regarded Him as a worthless God,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 36:22

I do not this, which I have done, sparing you and preserving you, and giving you favour in the sight of the heathen; nor do I that I am about to do for you, returning you to Judea, planting you, increasing you, and establishing you, and making you a blessing; I do not this for your sake, you deserve no such kindness from me. For mine holy name’s sake; my infinite mercy is the spring and fountain; the vindicating my name from all imputation of weakness or unfaithfulness, and the magnifying the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 36:22

Ezekiel 36:22 In entering upon the question, What moved God to save man? let us I. Attend to the expression "My Name's sake." This is a most comprehensive term. It indicates much more that what, in common language, is involved in a name. The Name of God comprehends everything which directly or remotely affects the Divine honour and glory. II. We are to understand that the motive which moved God to save man, was regard to His own glory. Grace glorifies man, no doubt; but for what purpose? that... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 36:1-38

Shall we turn in our Bibles now to Ezekiel 36:0 as we continue our study in this very fascinating prophecy.In chapter 36 Ezekiel is commanded to prophesy to the mountains of Israel. Now this is the second time he prophesied to the mountains of Israel. The first time was back in chapter 6, and he was prophesying the desolations that would come to the mountains of Israel and to the cities because they had built the high places on the mountains and worshipped the false images, idols, and gods. And... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Ezekiel 36:21-24

Ezekiel 36:21-24I had pity for Mine holy name.God’s motive in salvationThere is a land lying beneath a burning sky where the fields are seldom screened by a cloud, and almost never refreshed by a shower; and yet Egypt--for it is of it I speak--is as remarkable for the fertile character of its soil as for the hoar antiquity of its history. At least, it was so in days of old, when hungry nations were fed by its harvests, and its fields were the granaries of ancient Rome. Powers so prolific Egypt... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 36:22

Eze 36:22 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not [this] for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name’s sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went. Ver. 22. I do not this for your sakes. ] To do good without respect of desert is royal, yea, it is divine. But for mine own holy name’s sake.] God maketh our utter unworthiness a foil to set forth the freeness of his love, in making us worthy whom he found not so. read more
