Ezekiel 34:28

“And they shall no more be a prey to the Heathen, &c.] To the Papists, who shall now be perished out of the land, (<191016>Psalm 10:16): neither shall, the beasts of the land devour them; neither that beast which rose up out of the sea, nor that which came up out of the earth, (<661301>Revelation 13:1,11), the pope, both in his secular and ecclesiastic power, being destroyed. So the Targum, “and the kingdoms of the earth shall not consume them;” the antichristian kingdoms: but they, shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid; (See Gill on “<263425>Ezekiel 34:25”); (See Gill on “<263427>Ezekiel 34:27”).”

“dwell safely-- (Jer 23:6).”

“Yahweh having promised to be a Ruler of His people, the administration of the divine kingdom is now described, as carried on by One King, the representative of David, whose dominion should fulfill all the promises originally made to the man after God’s own heart. Ezekiel does not so much add to, as explain and develope, the original promise; and as the complete fulfillment of the spiritual blessings, which the prophets were guided to proclaim, was manifestly never realized in any temporal prosperity of the Jews, and never could and never can be realized in any earthly kingdom, we recognize throughout the Sacred Volume the one subject of all prophecy - the Righteous King, the Anointed Prince,…”

“they shall: It is evident that this prophecy could at most have only a typical accomplishment in the return from captivity under Zerubbabel, and in their consequent prosperity; but the restoration of the Jews from their present captivity, and the consequent peace and prosperity of the church and world, fully answer to this energetic language. Eze 34:8, Eze 36:4, Eze 36:15 neither: Eze 34:25, Eze 34:29; Jer 30:10, Jer 46:27 Ezekiel 34:29”
