The Prophet Ezekiel: An Analytical Exposition
Gaebelein, Arno Clemens
Bible. Ezekiel -- Commentaries
There is another day coming in which the Lord will deal in fearful
judgments with this earth. Now is the day of salvation in which God
speaks in love through His Son. When wickedness and apostasy has reached
its climax, the day of salvation will end and "the day of vengeance of
our God" will begin. Then He will speak in His wrath and vex them in His
sore displeasure (Ps. ii:5). Then will they say to the mountains and
rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on the
throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; for the great day of His wrath
is come; and who shall be able to stand?" (Rev. vi:16-17). God's
judgments for the future are as sure as were His judgments in the past.
There is a set time, the day of the Lord, when He, to whom the Father
has given all judgments, will tread "the winepress of the fierceness of
the wrath of God, the Almighty" (Rev. xix:15).
Behold the Day! Behold it cometh!
Thy doom advanceth:
The rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.
Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness;
None of them shall remain; yea none of their multitude,
Nor their wealth; neither shall there be eminency among them.
The time is come, the day draweth near;
Let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn,
For wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
For the seller shall not return to that which is sold,
Even though he were yet amongst the living.
In the vision touching the whole multitude thereof
It shall not be revoked;
And none shall through his iniquity assure his life.
They have blown the trumpet and made all ready,
But none goeth to the battle;
For my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
The sword is without; the pestilence and the famine within;
He that is in the field shall die by the sword;
And he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
But they that escape of them shall escape,
And be as the mountains like moaning doves,
All of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.
All hands shall be feeble, and every knee shall fail like water.
They shall gird themselves with sackcloth,
And horror shall cover them;
Shame shall be upon all faces, baldness upon all heads
(verses 10-18).
