Ezekiel 39:19 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 39:19

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.

23 ^aThe Gentiles shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they were unfaithful to Me, therefore ^bI hid My face from them. I ^cgave them into the hand of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword.

24 ^aAccording to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I have dealt with them, and hidden My face from them.” ’
