Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 36:35

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

35. they shall say —The heathen, who once made Israel's desolation a ground of reproach against the name of Jehovah Himself ( Ezekiel 36:20 ; Ezekiel 36:21 ); but now He so vindicates its sanctity ( Ezekiel 36:22 ; Ezekiel 36:23 ) that these same heathen are constrained to acknowledge Israel's more than renewed blessedness to be God's own work, and a ground for glorifying His name ( Ezekiel 36:36 ). Eden —as Tyre (the type of the world powers in general: so Assyria, a cedar "in the garden of God, Eden," Ezekiel 31:8 ; Ezekiel 31:9 ), in original advantages, had been compared to "Eden, the garden of God" ( Ezekiel 28:13 ), from which she had fallen irrecoverably; so Israel, once desolate, is to be as "the garden of Eden" ( Isaiah 51:3 ), and is to be so unchangeably. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-36" class="com-number"
