Ezekiel 48:31

And the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi. The gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel - ( _ , the city "had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of Israel," etc.) The twelve gates bear the names of the twelve tribes, to imply that all are regarded as having an interest in it._...

EXPOSITION The closing chapter of the prophet's temple-vision treats more particularly of the distribution of the land among the several tribes (Ezekiel 48:1), and concludes with a statement concerning the gates, dimensions, and name of the city (Ezekiel 48:30-26). EZEKIEL 48:1 The _distribution of the land among the several tribes_._ _First, the portions north of the terumah (Ezekiel 48:1); secondly, the terumah (Ezekiel 48:8), embracing the portions of the priests and Levites ...

AND THE GATES OF THE CITY SHALL BE AFTER NAMES OF THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL,.... According to number of them, twelve, and called by their names; the names of the several tribes being written on them; see Revelation 21:12, this shows that all true Israelites indeed, Israel not after the flesh, but after the Spirit, have a right of entrance into, and communion with, the church of God; even the whole Israel of God, whom he has chosen for himself; Christ has redeemed by his blood, and the Spirit calls by his grace, and sanctifies; these are all, be they Jews or Gentiles, fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God: these gates, though twelve, with respect to the twelve tribes that enter in at them, and the twelve apostles of the Lamb that direct unto them, and whose doctrine they embrace and profess that go in by them; yet are but one in the main, which is Christ

CHAPTER 48 _ 1. The portion of the seven tribes (Ezekiel 48:1) _ 2. The oblation for the sanctuary, for the city, and for the prince (Ezekiel 48:8) 3. The gates of the city and its new name (Ezekiel 48:30) Without entering into the measurements, the architecture, and other features of this great temple, we point out a few things which are important. First, as to the contents of the interior of this temple. The words “silver and gold” are not mentioned once in Ezekiel 40:1; Ezekiel 41:1;...

EZEKIEL 48. THE TRIBAL ALLOTMENTS. The holy city, Jerusalem, with its environments is significantly regarded as the true centre, geographical no less than religious, of the country; but, as in point of fact it really lay in the southern half, the prophet, in his ideal allotment of the land, makes a concession to geographical fact by putting seven tribes to the north, arranged in parallel strips, viz. Dan, Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh, Ephraim, Reuben, and Judah (Ezekiel 48:1), and five to the south, Benjamin, Simeon, Issachar, Zebulon, and Gad (Ezekiel 48:23). EZEKIEL 48:9. THE SACRED RESERVATION. Between Judah and Benjamin lay the sacred reservation, a piece of land about eight miles square. The norther

The measurement proceeds from W. to E. The gate Reuben was thus the westmost on the north of the city; Judah in the centre and Levi towards the east....

_4. The gates of the city (48:30-35_) TRANSLATION (30) And these are the egresses of the city: On the north side four thousand and five hundred reeds by measure; (31) and the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel, three gates northward: the gate of Reuben, one; the gate of Judah, one; the gate of Levi, one.

THE NEW ISRAEL (EZEKIEL 33-48) So long as the Jewish kingdom remained in existence Ezekiel's prophecies (those in Ezekiel 1-24) dealt almost exclusively with the nation's sin, and with the certainty of its overthrow. But when these prophecies were fulfilled by the fall of Jerusalem his message assumed a new and hopeful character. God's punishment of Israel's sin was not the end of His dealings with His people. The destruction of the old sinful Israel would be followed by the establishment of a perfect kingdom of God. The humiliation of the foreign nations (described in Ezekiel 25-32) would prepare the way for this, and would be succeeded by the restoration of the exiles. The new kingdom would be set up under new conditions of worship and fellowship with God. This concluding part of the book falls into two sections, the first dealing with the restoration from captivity (Ezekiel 33-39), an...
