Ezekiel 39:24

“According to their uncleanness, &c.] Not ceremonial, but moral; they were an impure and adulterous generation, as our Lord calls them, (<401239>Matthew 12:39 16:4): and according to their transgressions have I done unto them; or “rebellions”, as the Targum renders it; or defections, as the wordf678 signifies; their rebellions against the King Messiah; their defections from him; their contempt of him, and rejection of his yoke, and non-submission to his ordinances; according to the desert of such crimes, the Lord dealt with them; “took vengeance on them,” as the Targum is; in the destruction of their nation, city, and temple: “and hid my face from them”; or caused his Shechaniah to remove…”

“The purposes of the past dispensation shall be made clear to God’s people themselves and to the pagan. His judgments were the consequence of their sins; and these sins once abandoned, the favor of their God will return in yet more abundance. Ezekiel 39:29 Compare Acts 2:17. Peter distinctly appropriates these prophecies (marginal references) to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, and the inauguration of the Church of Christ by that miraculous event. This was the beginning of the fulfillment. They shall find their consummation when time shall be no more. return to 'Top of Page' Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain.
