Ezekiel 39:21 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 39:21

And I will set my glory among the Heathen
The glory of his divine perfections, particularly his power and his goodness, in destroying the enemies of his people, and saving them; which will be set in a clear point of view to the Heathen, that they cannot but observe it; and this is the ultimate end of this strange event, as it is of all that the Lord does, even his own glory, subordinate to which is his people's good: and all the Heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my
hand that I have laid upon them;
his vengeance and power, as the Targum; the punishment inflicted by his mighty hand on Gog and his army: these Heathens are the Pagan kingdoms of China and of Tartary, Persia, and the whole Turkish dominions, being Mahometan, which are no better than Heathen; these will be converted to the Christian religion, in consequence of this event; for this will be the passing away of the Turkish woe, which will make way for the sounding of the seventh trumpet; and when these kingdoms will become Christ's, and way be made for the kings of the east to come over to him, ( Revelation 11:14 Revelation 11:15 ) ( 16:12 ) .

19 et comedetis adipem in saturitate et bibetis sanguinem in ebrietate de victima quam ego immolabo vobis
20 et saturabimini super mensam meam de equo et de equite forti et de universis viris bellatoribus ait Dominus Deus
21 et ponam gloriam meam in gentibus et videbunt omnes gentes iudicium meum quod fecerim et manum meam quam posuerim super eos
22 et scient domus Israhel quia ego Dominus Deus eorum a die illa et deinceps
23 et scient gentes quoniam in iniquitate sua capta sit domus Israhel eo quod reliquerint me et absconderim faciem meam ab eis et tradiderim eos in manu hostium et ceciderint in gladio universi
