A Triumphant Festival
b“Assemble yourselves and come;
Gather together from all sides to My csacrificial meal
Which I am sacrificing for you,
A great sacrificial meal don the mountains of Israel,
That you may eat flesh and drink blood.
Drink the blood of the princes of the earth,
Of rams and lambs,
Of goats and bulls,
All of them bfatlings of Bashan.
And drink blood till you are drunk,
At My sacrificial meal
Which I am sacrificing for you.
With horses and riders,
bWith mighty men
And with all the men of war,” says the Lord God.

Ezekiel 39:17-29
The purposes of the past dispensation shall be made clear to God' s people themselves and to the pagan. His judgments were the consequence of their sins; and these sins once abandoned, the favor of their God will return in yet more abundance.
Ezekiel 39:29
Compare Acts 2:17. Peter distinctly appropriates these prophecies (marginal references) to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, and the inauguration of the Church of Christ by that miraculous event. This was the beginning of the fulfillment. They shall find their consummation when time shall be no more.
