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 ) .

Ezekiel 39:21 In-Context

19 Gorge yourselves on their fat, and get drunk on their blood, from the sacrifice that I have made for you.
20 Satisfy yourselves at my table with horses and riders, mighty men and every warrior. This is what the LORD God says!
21 When I glorify myself among the nations, all the nations will understand the judgments that I executed and the power that I used among them.
22 And the house of Israel will know that I, the LORD, am their God, from that day on.
23 The nations will know that the house of Israel went into exile because of their guilt. Because they rebelled against me, I hid my face from them. When I handed them over to their enemies, all of them fell by the sword.
