A Triumphant Festival

17 “And as for you, son of man, thus says the Lord God, a‘Speak to every sort of bird and to every beast of the field:
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. 
18 aYou shall eat the flesh of the mighty,
Drink the blood of the princes of the earth,
Of rams and lambs,
Of goats and bulls,
All of them bfatlings of Bashan. 
19 You shall eat fat till you are full,
And drink blood till you are drunk,
At My sacrificial meal
Which I am sacrificing for you.
20 aYou shall be filled at My table
With horses and riders,
bWith mighty men
And with all the men of war,” says the Lord God.  

Israel Restored to the Land

21 a“I will set My glory among the nations; all the nations shall see My judgment which I have executed, and bMy hand which I have laid on them.  
22 aSo the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day forward.

Ezekiel 39:18

Ye shall eat - In these two and the following verses, God takes on him the person of one that makes a feast, invites his guests, and promises to satisfy them. Of the two former, the first is an Enigmatical invitation, or an invitation in a riddle; the latter is the key to this character. The mighty - Who had great authority, great courage and strength, the giant - like ones, commanders of great note in the army. Princes - Many princes came with their country men and subjects to assist in this war. Rams - These are compared to rams which lead the flock. Lambs - Lambs are the more ordinary in the army. Goats - Goats signify the more lascivious, and impetuous among them. Bullocks - Bullocks, such as though more slow, were of great strength. Fatlings - Well fed. Bashan - A mountain of most rich, and sweet soil.
