19<\/strong>. my fury upon it in blood<\/em> ] The term “blood” is almost a synonym for “death;” cf. Psa 30:9<\/span>, “What profit is there in my blood, in my going down to the pit?” Ch. Eze 5:7<\/span>. On the Babylonian idea of “four” plagues, cf. Del. Parad<\/em>. p. 146.<\/p>\n Eze 14:21-23<\/em><\/span>. Application to Jerusalem.<\/p>\n Eze 14:19-20<\/span><\/p>\n Or if I send a pestilence.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Public calamity a call to private humiliation<\/strong><\/p>\n Depend upon it, we have need, and as the years roll away we shall have more and more need, to remind ourselves of the unseen Hand which sends us our blessings or withdraws them from us. New appliances of mechanical skill have a tendency to keep God out of our sight. The simple machinery which depended on the wind or the stream for motion did not suffer men so easily to forget their immediate dependence on God. His agency is half obscured when they become independent of the breath of heaven, and of the moisture which cometh down from above. And so there is a constant danger of our lapsing into practical atheism, if we allow ourselves, in the mere contemplation of a natural law apart from its Divine Author; or attend to its results, without adverting to the revealed cause of its operation. It is no disparagement to natural science to declare that, pursued in any but a godly spirit, it sometimes has a tendency to obscure the vision of God: to interpose hard names and technical phrases between Him and ourselves; and practically to keep Him out of our sight. Nay, the very progress of civilisation, the increase of wealth and refinement and luxury–all have the same tendency. The table daily spread without our care helps to keep God out of sight. And the special value of Scripture is seen in the unconditional and most unceremonious way in which it brushes aside this web of words; puts God, the Giver, prominently forward; and vindicates His absolute Sovereignty in creation. When Christ says, He maketh His sun to rise,–His language is altogether unscientific, to be sure; but He declares a truth which to the devout soul is of paramount importance; namely, that the heavenly bodies are all His creatures; and that, in reality, the phenomena which attend them are but the visible expression of His will. While thoughtful men are investigating the natural history of a calamity which, unless it be stayed, will inevitably press with terrible severity on the poor;–which, if it spreads, may bring contagion to all our doors,–occasion death within our homes and darken every domestic hearth;–a more excellent way is revealed to us in Holy Scripture; a method which is within the reach of us all. I allude, of course, to individual acts of repentance,–personal efforts after holiness,–the heartfelt use of private prayer. The special mention of three of Gods chiefest saints Noah, Daniel, and Job, reminds us that we must as individuals seek to turn away Gods anger from this Church and nation. What, above all, shall be said of our unconcern for the spiritual wants of the benighted heathen,–of our own countrymen in foreign parts, of our fellow citizens here at home? (Dean Burgon.<\/em>)<\/p>\n Diseases are sent whenever they come, especially wasting diseases, which empty nations and cities apace. <\/P> Pestilence; Gods arrow that flies from Gods bow. <\/P> Pour out; not drop or distil on a people in small measures, and by leisure, but in great measures, and hastily, as waters are poured out of a vessel all at once almost. <\/P> In blood: sometimes blood does denote war, but here, and in many other places, it denotes death and destruction of men, though not by the sword. <\/P> Man and beast; not that beasts die of the same pestilential disease which kills man, but either death of men by pestilence emptieth the nation, that there are not men to take care and provide for the beasts; or rather, because when pestilence wasteth men, murrains and plague of cattle, from the same infected air, and from the hand of God, waste the beasts also. <\/P><\/p>\n 19. in blood<\/B>not literally. InHebrew,<\/I> “blood” expresses every premature kind ofdeath.<\/P><\/p>\n Or [if] I send a pestilence into that land<\/strong>,…. Or the plague, which is the destruction that wastes at noon day; this is from the Lord, and a sore judgment it is:<\/p>\n and pour out my fury upon it in blood<\/strong>; or, “by blood” y; by corrupting the blood, which is done when a man is seized with the pestilence. The Targum renders it, “with slaughter”; by slaying a great number of persons by that disease, as a token of fury and wrath, because of their transgressions. It may be rendered, “because of blood” z; and so express the cause and reason of the judgment, the shedding of innocent blood:<\/p>\n to cut off from it man and beast<\/strong>; man by the pestilence, and beast by some contagious distemper or another.<\/p>\n y “per sanguinem”, Piscator. z “Propter sanguinem”, Vatablus.<\/p>\n He now affirms of the fourth kind of punishment, what he has hitherto pronounced of the rest. He says, then, If I shall have sent a pestilence, and have devoted a land to devastation, that Job, Daniel, and Noah, should be safe if they dwelt there: but that their righteousness should not profit even their sons and their daughters. Nay, he seems to speak with greater restriction, since he has substituted the singular number for the plural: for he had just said, they shall not free either sons or daughters. He now says, not even a son or a daughter, that is, they shall not prevail with me by their intercession so much as to save from death even a single son or daughter. We must also remember what I have said, that God does not always act in the way related here: for he has manifold and various methods of carrying out his judgments. Hence it would not be just to impose a law not to liberate any one, and according to his own will either to hear or reject their prayers. But here he only means, that when he has determined to destroy a land, there is no hope of pardon, since even the most holy will not persuade him to desist from his wrath and vengeance. But now the conclusion follows — <\/p>\n “Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury on it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast, though Noah, Daniel and Job were in it, as I live says the Lord Yahweh, they will deliver neither son nor daughter. They will deliver but their own lives by their righteousness.”<\/p>\n The same principle applies when God determines to bring pestilence on a land in His anger against sin and idolatry, the presence of the truly righteous would not save the land, nor even their own families. Only the righteous themselves would be delivered.<\/p>\n Eze 14:19<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>In blood<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> By the pestilence. <\/em>Houbigant.
