Ezekiel 12:15 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 12:1-16

Perhaps Ezekiel reflected with so much pleasure upon the vision he had had of the glory of God that often, since it went up from him, he was wishing it might come down to him again, and, having seen it once and a second time, he was willing to hope he might be a third time so favoured; but we do not find that he ever saw it any more, and yet the word of the Lord comes to him; for God did in divers manners speak to the fathers (Heb. 1:1) and they often heard the words of God when they did not... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 12:15

And they shall know that I am the Lord ,.... God omniscient, and can and do foresee and foretell future events, when the above things shall come to pass; and omnipotent, able to do what he purposed and declared he would; and true and faithful to his word, and holy and righteous in all his ways and works: when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries ; of Egypt, Babylon, Media, and other places. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 12:15

Verse 15 Here God insults both Jews and Israelites who had united themselves. He says that he would so display his power that they should be compelled to acknowledge him, but to their own destruction. Experimental knowledge is sometimes attributed to the faithful; because when we are too slow, God shows us his power by sure proofs. But what is here said ought to be restricted to the reprobate and abandoned, who do not acknowledge God except in death. Yet Zedekiah was not entirely without the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 12:1-16

The dramatic form of prophecy. It is of the first moment that men should have right and adequate impressions of the truth. A man's life is properly moulded through his intelligence. His intelligence moulds his tastes, feeds his emotions, inspires his purposes, directs his life. Clear convictions of truth and duty possess unspeakable value. I. MORAL OBTUSENESS IN MEN IS A GRIEF TO GOD . Eyes have been conferred for the sole reason that men may see; and ears, that they... read more

It parabolic appeal to a rebellious people. "The word of the Lord also came unto me, saying, Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house," etc. "Now begin the amplifications," says Hengstenberg, "the marginal notes, so to speak, on the great text in ch. 8-11; which extend to Ezekiel 19:1-14 ; and these terminate in a song, corresponding to the song in the first group in Ezekiel 7:1-27 . The approaching catastrophe of Jerusalem forms the central point throughout. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 12:14-15

And I will scatter. The capture of the king would naturally be followed by the dispersion of his adherents, some of whom would fall by the sword, while a few (Hebrew, men of number, i.e. easily counted) would escape to some neighbouring country, where they might hope to find a refuge. There they would have to tell their tale of shame, and to let the heathen know that Jehovah was thus punishing their abominations (comp. Ezekiel 14:22 , Ezekiel 14:23 ). The prophecy ends with the... read more

Ezekiel 12:9-16. Hath not the house of Israel said That is, I know they have said; as the words, “are they not written in the book of Chronicles, &c.?” mean, they are written there. What doest thou, &c. They have inquired by way of derision and contempt, what these signs mean. Say This burden concerneth the prince, &c. Namely, King Zedekiah, chap. Ezekiel 7:27. The prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder, &c. Their king shall even be forced himself to... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 12:1-16

Pictures of exile (12:1-16)It appears that many of the exiles were rebellious against God because of his message of doom, and were still hoping for an early return to Jerusalem (12:1-2). God therefore commanded Ezekiel to act another message for them. He was to show that the exiles had no chance of returning to Jerusalem. On the contrary, the Jerusalemites would come to join the exiles in Babylon. Ezekiel’s daytime act was to gather a few belongings that an exile could carry with him and set... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 12:1-20

1. The dramatic tragedy of exile 12:1-20This section contains three messages from the Lord all of which deal with the inevitability of another deportation of Jews from Jerusalem and Judah (Ezekiel 12:1-20). Jerusalem would be overthrown and the Jews still there would be taken to Babylon in the very near future. The prophet’s perspective now broadened from the temple (chs. 8-11) to the city (ch. 12). read more
