Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 21:8-17

EXEGETICAL NOTES. (Ezekiel 21:8-17.) The sword is sharpened for slaying. As they are a people who refuse to understand, the judgment is announced in the plainest terms.Ezekiel 21:9. “And also furbished.” As if the sword so long unused had rusted in its sheath. “The repetition—a sword, a sword, is not without effect—definitely pointing to the destructive weapon to be employed in the war. To augment the terror which the announcement was calculated to inspire, the sword is described as sharpened,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 21:18-22

EXEGETICAL NOTES.—(Ezekiel 21:18-22). The sword of the king of Babylon will smite Jerusalem, and then the Ammonites.Ezekiel 21:19. “Appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come.” The force of this word, “appoint,” is to draw a symbolic sketch, to give an ocular demonstration. Ezekiel is to draw on a table or tablet a sketch of the siege of Jerusalem. The Hebrew word rendered “choose” in the latter part of the verse has the primary meaning of to cut, and points to the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 21:23-27

EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Ezekiel 21:23-27. Though this announcement of God’s judgments will appear to the people of Judea as a deceptive divination, yet it will surely come to pass. The prophet, however, sees beyond all these evils the hope of redemption. The Messiah is promised, who is to be the founder and restorer of perfect right on earth (Ezekiel 21:27). See also, Psalms 62:0; Isaiah 9:6; Isaiah 42:1; Jeremiah 23:5; Jeremiah 33:17.Ezekiel 21:23 “And it shall be unto them as a false divination in... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 21:1-32

Shall we turn now in our Bibles to Ezekiel 21 , the twenty-first chapter of Ezekiel.Now the prophets of God were often very colorful persons. And because people would not always listen to the Word of God, they would often do things to draw the people's attention to create a question in their mind, curiosity, "What in the world is he doing now?" And when these questions would arise or when they would draw the people's attention, then they would preach the message of God to them. And so,... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 21:1-32

Ezekiel 21:2 . Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places. In the Latin bibles, this chapter begins at 21:45 of the preseding, which preserves unity in the subject. The prophecy is against the land of the south against Israel, which was southward of Mesopotamia, where Ezekiel then exercised his ministry. He must preach against the woods and groves, the seats of idolatry, and of utter ruin to the nation. Ezekiel 21:3 . I will cut off. Hebrews I... read more

Ezekiel 21:2-3Behold, I am against thee.A prophecy of judgmentI. The prophet’s compellation, or title--“Son of man.” There are but two persons in Scripture which have eminently this name--the one is our Saviour, the other Ezekiel. For our Saviour, it was not without very good reason--namely, as hereby to discover the truth of His humanity to us--that amongst those many miracles which were wrought by Him, from whence He did appear to be God, He might have somewhat also fastened upon Him... read more

Ezekiel 21:6-7Wherefore sighest thou?. . .For the tidings. Sighing because of sorrowful tidings“The tidings” were, in the first place, of dishonour done to God, and, in the second place, of ruin which the transgressors were bringing upon themselves; and we think to show you that the tidings were such as might well justify the prophet as he looked upon his nation in “sighing with bitterness before their eyes.”1. If you know anything of the relationship subsisting between the Creator and the... read more

Ezekiel 21:9-11Should we then make mirth?Mirth unreasonable in the unconvertedI. Because they are under condemnation. The sword is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter. Should we then make mirth? It is unreasonable in a condemned malefactor to make mirth. Would it not greatly shock every feeling mind to see a company of men condemned to die, meeting and making merry, talking lightly and jestingly, as if the sword was not over them?II. Because God’s instruments... read more

Ezekiel 21:16Go thee one way or other, either on the right hand or on the left, whithersoever thy face is set. Religious decisionI.The nature of religious decision. In general terms, this may be said to be an inflexible regard for the will and honour of God--a firm adherence under all circumstances to that course of duty which He has commanded, and a personal dedication of the heart and soul to His service.1. Religious decision is founded on a special regard to the will of God. In this respect... read more

Ezekiel 21:21The parting of the ways. Which wayWhen you have been wandering in the country you have sometimes come to where two roads branched away from the one you were on--like the two arms of the letter Y--and then you stood puzzled which to take; for the one would take you where you wanted to go, and the other would take you from it. That spot, then, where you stood uncertain was “the parting of the way.” Now, it is much the same with your life. It is a journey; you are always going on and... read more
