Ezekiel 35:13

And thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume. THOU SHALT KNOW ... THAT I HAVE HEARD ALL THY BLASPHEMIES WHICH THOU HAST SPOKEN AGAINST ... ISRAEL. THUS WITH YOUR MOUTH YE HAVE BOASTED AGAINST ME. God regards what is done against His people as done against Himself (; ; Acts 9:4, "Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord ... Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou ME? ... I am Jesus whom thou persecutest"). Edom implied, if he did not express it, in his taunts against Israel, that God had not suffici...

10-15 When we see the vanity of the world in the disappointments, losses, and crosses, which others meet with, instead of showing ourselves greedy of worldly things, we should sit more loose to them. In the multitude of words, not one is unknown to God; not the most idle word; and the most daring is not above his rebuke. In the destruction of the enemies of the church, God designs his own glory; and we may be sure that he will not come short of his design. And when the fulness of the Jews and Gentiles shall come into the church, all antichristian opposers shall be destroyed....

Verse Ezekiel 35:13. _THUS WITH YOUR MOUTH YE HAVE BOASTED AYAINST ME_] Ye have said you would enter into those lands, and take them for your inheritance; though ye knew that God had promised them to the Israelites, and that you should never have them for your portion....

EXPOSITION EZEKIEL 35:1 MOREOVER THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING. As no date is given, the present oracle, extending to the close of Ezekiel 36:15, may be assumed to have been communicated to and delivered by the prophet in immediate succession to the foregoing, with which it has also an intimate connection. Having announced the future restoration of Israel, as Jehovah's flock, to her own land under the leadership of Jehovah's servant David, who should feed them like a shepherd and rule them like a prince (Ezekiel 34:13, Ezekiel 34:23,...

THUS WITH YOUR MOUTH YE HAVE BOASTED AGAINST ME,.... Or, "magnified against me" a; spoke great swelling words of vanity, or had a mouth opened to speak great things and blasphemy against God, as antichrist is said to do, Revelation 13:5, what is spoken against the Lord's people is taken by him as spoken against himself: AND HAVE MULTIPLIED YOUR WORDS AGAINST ME; not in prayer, by deprecations or supplications, as the word b used sometimes signifies; but in reproaches and calumnies, vilifying expressions and hard speeches, against his people, in great numbers; which is all one as if they were directed against him: I HAVE HEARD THEM; these the Lord takes notice of, and will call to an account for, either here or hereafter; see Judges 1:15. a תגדילו עלי "ma

CHAPTER S 35-36 Judgment Announced and Israel's Final Restoration Promised _ 1. The message against Mount Seir and Idumea (Ezekiel 35:1) _ 2. The message of comfort to Israel (Ezekiel 36:1) Ezekiel 35:1. This is another judgment message, which is closely related to the coming restoration of Israel. When the Lord is merciful to His people and bestows upon them the promised blessings, He will also deal with their enemies in judgment. Edom was the most bitter enemy of Israel, their blood-relation. The judgment threatened here was executed upon Edom; but it has a prophetic meaning of the judgment which is in store for the enemies of God's people when the times of the Gentiles end and God ar

EZEKIEL 35 F. THE OCCUPATION OF THE LAND. Indispensable to the restoration of Israel is the possession of Canaan Israel's land and Yahweh's land (Ezekiel 35:10). EZEKIEL 35 F. THE DESTRUCTION OF EDOM. The land had at the time been threatened, if not actually overrun, by the Edomites (Ezekiel 35:2; Mount Seir=Edom), between whom and Israel there had been from time immemorial a persistent hereditary feud (Ezekiel 35:5; _cf._ Genesis 27:40). Possibly the land, including the old northern and southern kingdoms (Ezekiel 35:10), had been g

III. REMOVAL OF NATIONAL ENEMIES 35:1-15 (1) And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, (2) Son of man, set your face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it. (3) and say unto it: Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against you, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out My hand against you, and I will make you an utter desolation. (4) I will lay waste Your cities, and you shall be desolate; and you shall know that I am the Lord. (5) Because you have had an ancient hatred, and you have given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword, in the time of their calamity, in the time of their iniquity of the end. (6) Therefore, as I live (oracle of the Lord GOD), surely I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you; surely you hate blood, and blood shall pursue you. (7) And I will make mount Seir an utter desolation, and I will cut off from it travelers.[456] (8) And I...

THE LAND OF ISRAEL IN THE FUTURE Ezekiel 35 is an introduction to Ezekiel 36, the connexion being shown by Ezekiel 36:5. The claim of Edom to the land having been repudiated (Ezekiel 35), its reoccupation by Israel is promised (Ezekiel 36:1), and the reason of the restoration is explained (Ezekiel 36:16). _(A) THE PUNISHMENT OF EDOM'S PRESUMPTION (EZEKIEL 35)_ Edom has already
