17–20 Indeed, God plans to give the birds and animals a feast! He calls it a sacrifice; the birds and animals will eat the fallen enemy soldiers much as the Israelites ate the flesh of sacrificed animals. A similar “feast” is pictured in Revelation 19:17–18.86
21–29 These verses provide a concluding summary of Chapters 33–39. God’s judgment upon ungodly nations would reveal His glory. Even the punishment He inflicted on His own unfaithful people would reveal His righteousness and justice. He dealt with them according to their uncleanness and their offenses (verse 24). For a time, He hid [His] face from them—a sign of His displeasure.
But now He will bring the remnant of His people back from captivity; He will have compassion on them (verse 25). No longer will He hide His face from them; instead, He will pour out His Spirit upon them (verse 29).
God began to pour out His Spirit on the day of Pentecost (Acts Chapter 2), and since then He has been pouring out His Spirit on all those who believe in Christ, the Son of David, the Messiah who the Old Testament prophets said would come and reign on David’s throne forever.
