Ezequiel 35:14 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 35:14

Thus saith the Lord God, when the whole earth rejoiceth
When it shall go well with the world in general, and the inhabitants of it; when they shall enjoy great peace and prosperity. Jarchi has a very good note upon this clause,

``when I shall take my kingdom; for then the earth will rejoice, as it is said, the Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice;''

so when Christ takes to himself his great power, and reigns, his church and people will rejoice, ( Revelation 11:16 Revelation 11:17 ) , as well as at the destruction of antichrist, as follows: I will make thee desolate;
for so some render it, "the whole earth rejoiceth when I make thee desolate"; or, "so shall all the earth rejoice in the desolation which I shall make for thee" ^F3; see ( Revelation 18:20 ) ( Revelation 19:1 Revelation 19:2 ) and which agrees with what follows:

Ezequiel 35:14 In-Context

12 E saberás que eu, o Senhor, ouvi todas as tuas blasfêmias, que proferiste contra os montes de Israel, dizendo: Já estão assolados, a nós nos são entregues por pasto.

13 Vós vos engrandecestes contra mim com a vossa boca, e multiplicastes as vossas palavras contra mim. Eu o ouvi.

14 Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Quando a terra toda se alegrar, a ti te farei uma desolação.

15 Como te alegraste com a herança da casa de Israel, porque foi assolada, assim eu te farei a ti: assolado serás, ó monte Seir, e todo o Edom, sim, todo ele; e saberão que eu sou o Senhor.
