Ezekiel 28:26 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

These are very sweet promises to Israel with which the chapter closeth, and plainly refer to the restoration of the Lord's ancient people. But how or when the Lord will gather them in; whether by instruments the Lord will work in the accomplishment, or by some miraculous interposition of his own; nothing in scripture authorizeth us to determine. Certain it is, that the call of - the Jews in the last day dispensation will be a glorious manifestation of God; and perhaps the work will be greater in the display of it, than the first bringing the Church out of Egypt, for then they were altogether, but now are scattered and dispersed over the whole earth. Lord! hasten in thine own time the mercy when the Redeemer shall rise out of Zion to turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

Ezekiel 28:24-26

24 And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

25 Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob.

26 And they shall dwell safelyf therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.
