Ezekiel 44:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 44:6

And thou shalt say to the rebellious, even to the house of
Israel
This is a character of literal Israel from the beginning, ( Deuteronomy 9:24 ) , and frequently given it in this prophecy, ( Ezekiel 2:2 Ezekiel 2:3 Ezekiel 2:5-8 ) ( Ezekiel 3:9 Ezekiel 3:26 Ezekiel 3:27 ) and well agrees with these declining churches in the latter day, and even in our times; it represents them as rebellious, because of their disregard to the ordinances of God's house, and to the laws and rules of it; and are not only called "rebellious", but "rebellion" ^F7 itself; expressive of the greatness of their sin, and the aggravations of it: thus saith the Lord God, O ye house of Israel, let it suite you of all
your abominations;
that is, let the abominations you have committed, will worship and superstition, paying a regard to the doctrines and commandments of men, be sufficient; stop and proceed no further; relinquish those things which are so abominable in my sight; let the time past suffice to have wrought them; cease entirely from them; see ( 1 Peter 4:3 ) , these abominations are more particularly expressed in the following words.

Ezekiel 44:6 In-Context

4 And he took me to the north doorway in front of the house; and, looking, I saw that the house of the Lord was full of the glory of the Lord; and I went down on my face.

5 And the Lord said to me, Son of man, take to heart, and let your eyes see and your ears be open to everything I say to you about all the rules of the house of the Lord and all its laws; and take note of the ways into the house and all the ways out of the holy place.

6 And say to the uncontrolled children of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: O you children of Israel, let it be enough for you, among the disgusting things which you have done,

7 To have let men from strange lands, without circumcision of heart or flesh, come into my holy place, making my house unclean; and to have made the offering of my food, even the fat and the blood; and in addition to all your disgusting ways, you have let my agreement be broken.

8 And you have not taken care of my holy things; but you have put them as keepers to take care of my work in my holy place.
