Ezekiel 35:8

_AND I WILL FILL HIS MOUNTAINS WITH HIS SLAIN MEN: IN THY HILLS, AND IN THY VALLEYS, AND IN ALL THY RIVERS, SHALL THEY FALL THAT ARE SLAIN WITH THE SWORD._ No JFB commentary on this verse....

1-9 All who have God against them, have the word of God against them. Those that have a constant hatred to God and his people, as the carnal mind has, can only expect to be made desolate for ever....

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,...

AND I WILL FILL HIS MOUNTAINS WITH HIS SLAIN MEN,.... Not only Mount Seir, but all the rest of the mountains, in Idumea; where they shall flee for refuge, and the enemy shall pursue them, and slay them; and where their carcasses will fall in such numbers, as to cover the mountains with them; compare with this Revelation 19:18: IN THY HILLS, AND IN THY VALLEYS, AND IN ALL THY RIVERS, SHALL THEY FALL THAT ARE SLAIN WITH THE SWORD: expressive of the greatness and universality of the slaughter, that it should be a general one everywhere; hence rivers and fountains are said to become blood, through the number of the slain, Revelation 16:3....

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
