The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:33-37
The period of spiritual prosperity. The promised restoration and prosperity of Israel very fitly portrays the condition of spiritual well-being in the Church of Christ. It is marked by four things. I. SPIRITUAL STABILITY . "I will cause you to dwell in the cities " ( Ezekiel 36:33 ). They were not to be as travelers who are always moving, sleeping beneath the trees or the stars, or as men, that pitch their tents for a few days and pass on; they should "dwell in the cities. It... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:35
This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden. (For the reverse picture, see Joel 2:3 .) The thought of the first Paradise ( Genesis 2:8 ), in the historicity of which clearly Ezekiel believed, was one on which his mind often dwelt ( Ezekiel 28:13 ; Ezekiel 31:9 ) as an ideal of earthly beauty and fertility which should recur in the closing age of the world—a hope which appears to have been shared by Isaiah ( Isaiah 51:3 ), and taken up by John ( Revelation 2:7 ; ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:35
A new Eden. The new heart ( Ezekiel 36:26 ) is to be followed by a new Eden. The outer world is to be changed when the inner world is renewed, and that sweet, fair Paradise, the dream of which hovers on the distant horizon of history, is to be once more seen on earth, when men are renewed in nature. The new Adam brings the new Eden. Consider some of its features. I. LIFE . The desolate land becomes like the garden of Eden. It was desolate in death. Parched up and neglected,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:36
The heathen that are left round about you. The language presupposes that at or before the time of Israel's restoration the judgments pronounced against the nations will have overtaken them, so that only a remnant of them will be then in existence. Kliefoth and Currey view this remnant as those who shall have been converted out of heathendom and become attached to the community of Israel, like "the nations of the saved" in Revelation 21:24 ; Keil, with more accuracy, regards their... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:37
I will yet for this be inquired of by the house of Israel. On two previous occasions ( Ezekiel 14:3 ; Ezekiel 20:3 ), Jehovah had declined to be inquired of by the hypocritical and idol-loving elders of Israel, who pretended to consult him through his prophet; now he makes it known that in the future era no barrier of moral and spiritual unfitness on their part will prevent their free approach to his throne, but rather that they will come to him with fervent supplications for the very... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:37
Inquiry of God. Light is cast upon the function of prayer in the Divine economy by observing that in this passage explicit promises of blessing are first given to Israel; and then, afterwards , it is affirmed that, for this blessing, God requires that his people should make supplication to him. The fact is that unless there be a basis for prayer in the explicit assurances of God, although it may be a natural and instinctive, it can hardly be a reasonable, exercise. I. THE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:38
The people who should occupy the land of Israel in the coming age should be as the holy flock —literally, as the flock of holy things , or beasts; i.e. of sacrificial lambs— as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts ; literally, in her appointed times; i.e. her festal seasons (comp. Micah 2:12 ), referring to the three well-known annual occasions when the male population of the land came to the sanctuary ( Deuteronomy 16:16 ), and when in consequence the flocks and herds... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 36:28
Ye shall be my people - (Compare 2 Corinthians 6:16-18; Hebrews 8:10. The writers of the New Testament appropriated these and similar phrases of the Old Testament to the Church of Christ. Between the restoration of the Jews (the first step) there are many steps toward the end - the spread of Christ’s Church throughout the world, the conversion of the Gentiles, and the acknowledgment of the true God - which justify men in looking forward to a time when the Gospel shall be preached in all the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:32-38
Prosperity suspended on human prayer. In the previous verses God has disclosed a new scheme of spiritual tactics. He will lay siege to man's heart with the artillery of love. He will touch and melt his will. He will gently, yet powerfully, dispose him to obedience. Yet God will not reduce man to a machine. He will not coerce his will. Men shall not become passive instruments under God's hand. There shall be place for human thought, human choice, human effort. "I will yet be inquired of by... read more
