Ezekiel 39:19 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 39:8-22

Though this prophecy was to have its accomplishment in the latter days, yet it is here spoken of as if it were already accomplished, because it is certain (Ezek. 39:8): ?Behold it has come, and it is done; it is as sure to be done when the time shall come as if it were done already; this is the day whereof I have long and often spoken, and, though it has been long in coming, yet at length it has come.? Thus it was said unto John (Rev. 21:6), It is done. To represent the routing of the army of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 39:19

And ye shall eat fat till ye be full ,.... The fat of men; and such as before described generally are fat, and of which they shall have enough; and, though voracious creatures, shall eat to satiety: and drink blood till ye be drunken ; as men are with wine, who become mad with it; and so birds and beasts of prey grow fiercer by drinking blood: the meaning is, they should have their fill of the flesh, fat, and blood, of slain men: of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you ; the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 39:19

And ye shall eat fat - and drink blood - Who shall eat and drink, etc.? Not the Jews: though Voltaire says they ate human flesh, and are invited here by the prophet to eat the flesh and drink the blood of their enemies; which is a most unprincipled falsehood. It is the fowls and the beasts that God invites, Ezekiel 39:17 ; : "Speak to every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, assemble yourselves - that ye may eat flesh and drink blood;" nor are the persons altered in all these... read more

The terrible doom of rebels. We may regard it as certain that this prophecy has in view the final conflict between good and evil in this world. Already , in the preceding prophecies, Ezekiel has been portraying the prosperous times of Messiah ' s reign; and now he has a vision of an age still more remote, when shall come the final clash of arms between God and a rebel world. We may take it that Satan, or Apollyon, will be the real leader in this final onset. All the forces of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 39:17-20

Degradation and reversal. The scene before us is painful; it hardly befits description; we cannot dwell upon it without turning from it with repulsion. But we may so far realize it in our thought as to learn two lessons respecting the issue of evil, the sad and painful consequences of sin. These are— I. DEGRADATION . The unclean birds of the air and the foul beasts of the field eating the flesh and drinking the blood "of the princes of the earth"! To what a miserable and shameful... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 39:17-29

The purposes of the past dispensation shall be made clear to God’s people themselves and to the pagan. His judgments were the consequence of their sins; and these sins once abandoned, the favor of their God will return in yet more abundance.Ezekiel 39:29Compare Acts 2:17. Peter distinctly appropriates these prophecies (marginal references) to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, and the inauguration of the Church of Christ by that miraculous event. This was the beginning... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 39:17-22

Ezekiel 39:17-22. Thou son of man, speak unto every feathered fowl, &c. It was the custom of persons that offered sacrifice, to invite their friends to the feast that was made of the remainder: see Genesis 31:54; 1 Samuel 9:13. So here the prophet, by God’s command, invites the beasts and fowls to partake of the sacrifice of his enemies slain. The slaughter of God’s enemies is called a sacrifice, because it is offered up as an atonement to the divine justice: see the margin. A great... read more
