Ezekiel 36:2

Eze 36:2 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:

Ver. 2. Because the enemy hath said. ] The Church fareth the better for her enemies petulancies and insolencies against her.

Even the ancient high places. ] Or, The everlasting altitudes. Judea lay high; the Church is much higher.

Are ours in possession. ] Thus the Edomites triumphed before the victory. So did the Spaniards in 1588, and God heard them, as Eze 35:13 for he is all-ear, all-eye, &c. He is jealous for his people, Zec 1:14 and jealousy is quick sighted, quick conceited.
