Hawker's Poor man's commentary

Ezekiel 22:23-31

The close of this chapter is uncommonly beautiful, if we read it with an eye to Jesus. Many had been the intercessors for perishing sinners in the earlier ages, and all of them were types of Christ. Abraham interceding for Sodom, Genesis 18:23 etc. Moses and Joshua for Israel, Exodus 32:31 etc. Joshua 7:6 etc. And Aaron in the matter of Korah, Numbers 16:47. But here the Lord seems to be on the look-out, as it were, for someone to arise for Israel. Let the Reader turn to Isaiah 63:1, and he will find Christ making use of the same language; and then taking to himself this great power of redemption. Isaiah 63:5.
