Ezekiel 21:27

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 21:18-32

The third word of judgment. The king of Babylon’s march upon Judaea and upon the Ammonites. Destruction is to go forth not on Judah only, but also on such neighboring tribes as the Ammonites (compare Jeremiah 27:2-3).Ezekiel 21:19Appoint thee - Set before thee.Choose thou a place, choose it - Rather, “mark a spot, mark it,” as upon a map, at the head of the two roads, one leading to Jerusalem, the other to Ammon. These were the two roads by one or other of which an invading army must march from... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 21:27

Ezekiel 21:27. I will overturn, overturn, overturn it By several degrees I will utterly overthrow the kingdom of Judah; and it shall be no more It shall never recover its former lustre and dignity; until he come, &c. Till the Messiah come to take his kingdom. To the same purpose is Lowth’s paraphrase on the verse: “After that Zedekiah is deprived of his regal authority, there shall be no more kings of that family till Christ come, the King so often foretold and promised, who in due... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 21:18-32

No possibility of escape (21:18-32)In another acted message, the prophet drew a map on the ground, showing a road out of Babylon that branched in two directions. One led to Jerusalem, the other to Rabbah, capital of Ammon. By means of markings on the map, Ezekiel indicated that the king of Babylon had arrived at the road junction and was trying to decide whether to go and attack Rabbah or go and besiege Jerusalem. The king used three superstitious methods to determine which way to go: drawing... read more

Ezekiel 21:27. And it shall be no more— Nor shall this be the same, until he come, &c. "After Zedekiah is deprived of his regal authority, there shall be no more kings of that a family till the coming of the Messiah; the king so often foretold and promised; who in due time shall sit upon the throne of his father David, and of whose kingdom there shall be no end."

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 21:27

27. Literally, "An overturning, overturning, overturning, will I make it." The threefold repetition denotes the awful certainty of the event; not as ROSENMULLER explains, the overthrow of the three, Jehoiakim, Jeconiah, and Zedekiah; for Zedekiah alone is referred to. it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is—strikingly parallel to :-. Nowhere shall there be rest or permanence; all things shall be in fluctuation until He comes who, as the rightful Heir, shall restore the throne of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 21:24-27

The Lord would remember the sins of His people and allow them to suffer conquest (Deuteronomy 28-29). He would allow their destruction because their many sins were open before Him. Even wicked King Zedekiah, the "prince" of Israel, would be as good as dead when his day of judgment came with the taking of Jerusalem. The Lord would remove the high priest’s turban and the king’s crown by terminating their offices. Then there would be a reversal of fortunes: the powerful would be humbled and the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 21:27

(27) And it shall be no more.—Literally, this also shall not be. After the emphatic repetition of “over-turn” at the beginning of the verse, it is now added that the condition which follows the overthrow shall not be permanent; “the foundations” shall be put “out of course,” and everything thrown into that condition of flux and change, without permanent settlement, which was so characteristic of the state of Judaea until the coming of Christ.Until he come whose right it is.—This is generally... read more
