This site's exposition
bring again the captivity of Jacob
on Ezekiel 39:25-29
The chapter turns from judgment to promise in one sentence, now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, the same named people the dry bones vision has already promised in the chapter before this one. The shame borne and the trespasses confessed come first, and the gathering from the nations follows, mercy answering honest guilt rather than erasing it. I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel closes the book's restoration language on the same note Joel uses and Acts 2 later cites, a connection the church has long read here, while the exposition keeps the verse's own stated recipient, the house of Israel, as the text names it.
The record, by era
The Church Fathers1 voice
(Verse 17 and following) 'Therefore, son of man, thus says the Lord God: Speak to every winged creature, to all the birds, and to all the beasts of the field or the countryside: Come together and hasten, gather from all around to my sacrifice that I have offered to you, a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, so that you may eat flesh and drink blood.
The Puritans and the Awakening3 voices
This prophecy begins as that before ( ch. xxxviii. 3, 4 , I am against thee, and I will turn thee back ); for there is need of line upon line, both for the conviction of Israel's enemies and the comfort of Israel's friends. Here, as there, it is foretold that God will bring this enemy from the north parts, as formerly the Chaldeans were fetched from the north, Jer. i.
Now God will have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, (1.) Because it is time for him to stand up for his own glory, which suffers in their sufferings: Now will I be jealous for my holy name, that that may no longer be reproached. (2.) Because now they repent of their sins: They have borne their shame, and all their trespasses.
After that they have borne their shame,....
