Ezekiel 34:29

“And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, &c.] Or, “for a name”; or, “of a name”f591; a famous one: this is to be understood, not of the Jewish nation itself, as the Targum, “and I will raise up for them a plantation for standing;” or which shall continue; but of the Messiah, and not of his incarnation, when he sprung up as a tender plant out of the dry ground, and as a branch out of the roots of Jesse, being on that account often spoken of as a branch; (see <231101>Isaiah 11:1 53:2 <380308>Zechariah 3:8 6:12), but of him in a more raised and exalted state, as grown up to a stately tree, a goodly cedar, as in (<261723>Ezekiel 17:23) when his interest and kingdom should be great and…”

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,…”

“A plant - The Messiah. The shame - The reproach. Ezekiel 34:30”

“I will: Isa 4:2, Isa 11:1-6, Isa 53:2; Jer 23:5, Jer 33:15; Zac 3:8, Zac 6:12 of renown: or, for renown, Psa 72:17; Isa 9:6 consumed: Heb. taken away, Eze 34:26, Eze 34:27, Eze 36:29; Isa 49:9, Isa 49:10; Rev 7:16 neither: Eze 36:3-6, Eze 36:15 Ezekiel 34:30”
