Ezekiel 37:28 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 37:15-28

Here are more exceedingly great and precious promises made of the happy state of the Jews after their return to their own land; but they have a further reference to the kingdom of the Messiah and the glories of gospel-times. I. It is here promised that Ephraim and Judah shall be happily united in brotherly love and mutual serviceableness; so that whereas, ever since the desertion of the ten tribes from the house of David under Jeroboam, there had been continual feuds and animosities between... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 37:28

And the Heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel ,.... Or the Gentiles, the converted Gentiles, shall observe and take notice of the gracious dealings of God with his people the Jews; that he calls them with an holy calling; implants principles of grace and holiness in them; separates and consecrates them for his service, and enables them to walk holily, soberly, and righteously: when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore ; when his worship shall be set up... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 37:1-28

1. The view, that what the prophet beheld in vision was the final resurrection of mankind , though favored by Jerome, Calovius, and Kliefoth, must be abandoned, not because the doctrine of a general resurrection would not have been a powerful consolation to the pious-hearted in Israel, or because that doctrine was not then known, but because, in the prophet's own explanation, the bones are declared to be those, not of the whole family of man, but merely of the house of Israel. At the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 37:15-28

The "word" embodied in this section was probably communicated to the prophet at the close of the preceding vision. Its connection with this is apparent, treating as it does of the union of the then severed branches of the house of Israel, and of the subsequent prosperity which should attend united Israel under the rule of the Messianic King of the future. That this oracle, like the former, had only a temporary and partial accomplishment in the return from captivity is so obvious as to stand in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 37:15-28

Unity. As in many other instances, so here Ezekiel propounds a great moral and prophetical lesson by means of symbol. The two sticks which he is directed to join one to another into one stick represent the two divisions, the two kingdoms, of Judah and of Northern Israel, and their union represents the abolition of the distinction, the schism, which had been so injurious to the national welfare, and the formation of one people, one in brotherly love, one in mutual helpfulness, one in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 37:15-28

Union essential to highest prosperity. It is clear that this series of prophecies had, at least, a twofold meaning. These predictions pointed to beneficial changes near, visible, temporal; they pointed also to grandee events more distant, more spiritual. The fulfillment of prophecy was also another prophecy. The immediate performance of God's promise was a type of larger performance. As each harvest is a prophecy of the next, so one fulfillment of God's covenant symbolizes a fulfillment on... read more

explain how the unification of the two kingdoms should be brought about. The first step should be the bringing of the people home to their own land ( Ezekiel 37:21 , Ezekiel 37:22 ); the second, their purification from idolatry ( Ezekiel 37:23 ); the third, the installation over them, thus united and purified, of one King, the ideal David of the future, or the Messiah ( Ezekiel 37:24 , Ezekiel 37:25 ); the fourth, the establishment with them of Jehovah's covenant of peace ( Ezekiel... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 37:21-28

The blessed kingdom. Understanding this Divine promise to find its true and complete fulfillment in the kingdom of Christ, we may recognize some of the features of that kingdom as it will one day be constituted. I. ITS ONE ACKNOWLEDGED HEAD . The ideal " David " ( Ezekiel 37:24 , Ezekiel 37:25 ) is found, not in any future ruler like Judas Maccabaeus, but in Jesus Christ; in him who is exalted "to be a Prince and a Savior," the Lord and Sovereign of his people... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 37:28

describes the effect which such a glorious transformation of Israel's character and condition, should produce upon the heathen world. They should recognize from his presence amongst his people, symbolized by the establishment in their midst of his sanctuary, that he had both the power and the will to sanctify them, by making them inwardly as well as outwardly holy; and, recognizing this, they would seek admittance to the congregation and fellowship of God's spiritual Israel. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 37:28

The sanctification of the Church a gospel for the world. I. THE SANCTIFICATION OF THE CHURCH . 1. Its form . Sanctification is essentially a being set apart for God. This involves two ideas. 2. Its character . Though the pure idea of sanctification is formal rather than moral, and means essentially a setting apart for God, it is only realized in the experience of personal holiness. 3. Its cause. God sanctifies his people. They must desire and seek the... read more
