Ezekiel 39:23

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 39:23-29

This is the conclusion of the whole matter going before, and has reference not only to the predictions concerning Gog and Magog, but to all the prophecies of this book concerning the captivity of the house of Israel, and then concerning their restoration and return out of their captivity. I. God will let the heathen know the meaning of his people's troubles, and rectify the mistake of those concerning them who took occasion from the troubles of Israel to reproach the God of Israel, as unable... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 39:23

And the Heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity ,.... Before this they thought the captivity of the Jews, and all their distresses, were owing to their own weakness, and the weakness of the God they served, and to the superior strength of their enemies, and the power of their gods; but now, by this strange and amazing destruction of Gog and his army, they will see that it was not owing to those things, but to the sins and transgressions of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 39:21-29

God's revelation of himself a fount of blessing. Ignorance of God and strength of animal appetite are the two primal founts of ungodliness. Animal appetite is, in order of time, the first source of vice; but as the understanding opens to receive knowledge, this source of evil may be checked. To this end God deigns to make himself known. A clear vision of God is a strong antidote to evil propensity. Faith in God is the great regenerative principle. Therefore, through the procession of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 39:21-29

God his own Interpreter. The final result of this great conflict between Gog and the people of Jehovah will prove to be that God's Name is hallowed as it never was before. There had been great misconstruction of his ways and mistake as to his purpose, but all should be made clear. I. GOD MUCH MISUNDERSTOOD . How seriously and sadly God has been and is misunderstood is seen in the facts that II. GOD IMPERFECTLY EXPLAINED . Many, indeed, have been the interpreters who... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 39:23-24

Sin and its consequences. I. THE DREADFUL EVIL OF SIN . Pain is a mystery, but sin is a darker mystery. We instinctively shrink from death as the last dread enemy, but death is not so great a foe as sin. We must go to the Bible for a revelation of sin in its extent and its depth. The Greeks were acute thinkers on most subjects connected with human experience, but they were singularly obtuse to moral distinctions. In the Bible we see a true mirror held up to the world's sin.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 39:23-24

The Divine reason for Israel's captivity. Israel is in prophecy the representative of mankind, of the "new humanity" that God has redeemed to himself and appointed to everlasting life. In every dispensation, in all God's dealings with men, there has been the manifestation of wisdom. Nothing that God has done has been done without a purpose, an intention. Faith convinces us of this. And Scripture sometimes, as in this passage, gives us an insight into the Divine counsels, and points out to... 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

Ezekiel 39:23. And the heathen shall know, &c. The heathen nations shall be made sensible that my people were not carried away by their enemies because I wanted power to save them, but as a just punishment of their sins. Because they trespassed against me Committed sin with a high hand. Therefore hid I my face from them Withdrew my favour and protection; and gave them into the hand of their enemies Who could not have hurt them if they had not first forsaken me their God, and... read more
