Hesekiel 20:43

43 Und ihr werdet daselbst eurer Wege und all eurer Handlungen gedenken, durch welche ihr euch verunreinigt habt; und ihr werdet Ekel an euch selbst empfinden wegen all eurer Übeltaten, die ihr begangen habt.

Hesekiel 20:43 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 20:43

And there ye shall remember your ways, and all your doings,
wherein ye have been defiled
Their rejection of the Messiah; their continued disbelief of him; their obstinacy, hardness, and impenitence; their adherence to the traditions of the elders, to the making void the word of God; together with the most flagrant immoralities that ever any people were guilty of, and which are of a very defiling nature, and made them abominable in the sight of God; these now the Spirit of God convincing them of, they will remember with shame and confusion, and mourn over them in an evangelical way; and the more so, when they shall find themselves reinstated in their own land, enjoying all civil and religious privileges and liberties under Christ their King, whom they will now know, own, and serve; see ( Zechariah 12:10 ) : and ye shall loath yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that
ye have committed;
against God and Christ; against the law of the one, and the Gospel of the other. Sin is a loathsome thing to God; and it is so to his people When they are thoroughly convinced of it, and they loath themselves for it; and never more so than when they have the greatest instances and clearest discoveries of the love and grace of God in Christ to them; then they blush, are ashamed of themselves and their sins, and are confounded when they perceive the Lord is pacified towards them, and their sins are forgiven for Christ's sake: sin never appears more odious and loathsome than when viewed in the glass of pardoning love; see ( Ezra 9:6 Ezra 9:8 ) ( Ezekiel 16:63 ) .

Hesekiel 20:43 In-Context

41 Als einen lieblichen Geruch werde ich euch wohlgefällig annehmen, wenn ich euch aus den Völkern herausführe und euch aus den Ländern sammle, in welche ihr zerstreut worden seid, und ich mich vor den Augen der Nationen an euch heilige.
42 Und ihr werdet wissen, daß ich Jehova bin, wenn ich euch in das Land Israel bringe, in das Land, welches euren Vätern zu geben ich meine Hand erhoben habe.
43 Und ihr werdet daselbst eurer Wege und all eurer Handlungen gedenken, durch welche ihr euch verunreinigt habt; und ihr werdet Ekel an euch selbst empfinden wegen all eurer Übeltaten, die ihr begangen habt.
44 Und ihr werdet wissen, daß ich Jehova bin, wenn ich mit euch handle um meines Namens willen, und nicht nach euren bösen Wegen und nach euren verderbten Handlungen, Haus Israel, spricht der Herr, Jehova.
45 (H21:1) Und das Wort Jehovas geschah zu mir also:
