The Stroke—Eze_24:15-18 A strange and deep interest belongs to one of the incidents in the personal history of Ezekiel which the course of this prophecy discloses. He was married. His wife was very dear to him; for she is called “the desire of his eyes.” He knew that they must one day be parted. He … Continue reading ““600. THE STROKE—EZEKIEL 24:15-18””

“601. RABBAH—EZEKIEL 25:5”
Rabbah—Eze_25:5 It seems that the Ammonites were particularly loud and offensive in their exultation at the downfall, first of the kingdom of Israel, and then of Judah, with the desolation of the land and the destruction of the temple. But this malignant exultation on the part of a kindred people was abominable in the eyes … Continue reading ““601. RABBAH—EZEKIEL 25:5””
“598. PAINTED SCULPTURES—EZEKIEL 23:12-15”
Painted Sculptures—Eze_23:12-15 There are some remarkable allusions in the twenty-third chapter of Ezekiel to the personal appearance and attire of the Assyrians and Chaldeans, which may well detain our attention.

“596. COB-WALLS—EZEKIEL 13:10-11”
Cob-Walls—Eze_13:10-11 In the thirteenth chapter of his prophecies, Ezekiel employs an image derived from the work of builders. “One built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered mortar.

“597. THE PARTING OF THE WAY—EZEKIEL 21:21”
The Parting of the Way—Eze_21:21 The Ammonites appear to have revolted against the Chaldean sway at the same time with the Jews; and when the king of Babylon commenced his march with the purpose of reducing them to obedience, he seems to have been undecided whether to direct his march against Jerusalem or against Rabbah. … Continue reading ““597.

“594. CHAMBERS OF IMAGERY—EZEKIEL 8”
Chambers of Imagery—Ezekiel 8 The eighth chapter of Ezekiel is that to which we yesterday referred as exhibiting the prophet’s portraiture of the prevailing idolatries of his time.

“595. THAMMUZ—EZEKIEL 8:14”
Thammuz—Eze_8:14 When the prophet had sufficiently viewed the abominations of the chamber of imagery, he was taken elsewhere to witness a still greater abomination. He beheld “women weeping for Tammuz,” at the north gate of the house of the Lord. This Tammuz, or rather Thammuz, was no other than the Adon or Adonis of the … Continue reading ““595.

“592. THE ROD HATH BLOSSOMED—EZEKIEL 7:10”
The Rod Hath Blossomed—Eze_7:10 In describing the imminency of the Lord’s judgments upon Judah, the prophet uses these remarkable expressions: “Behold the day, behold it is come; the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed; pride hath budded.” The expression we have specially indicated is in every way remarkable, and is very fall of … Continue reading ““592.
