That all flesh may know that I the Lord have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath,…. The same with kindling a fire in Judea,
[See comments on Eze 20:48]:
it shall not return any more; that is, into its sheath, until it has done all its work; meaning that the Chaldean army should not return to their own land until they had executed the whole will of God upon the Jews; this is the fire that should not be quenched, Eze 20:48 and here ends the explanation of the said prophecy.

Eze 21:5. Ihave drawn forth my sword The sword of the Lord was Nebuchadrezzar; who, after having executed the Lord’s judgments upon his people, lived above twenty years. The meaning is, that this sword should not return any more into the sheath, till it had executed all God’s purposes. It should not return in vain. See Jer 50:9.
