Ezekiel 35:7 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 35:7

Thus will I make Mount Seir most desolate
By shedding the blood of the inhabitants of it; and as Rome will be, when it will be utterly burnt with fire, as that city will, and the flesh of the whore also, and made desolate; and when all the vials shall be poured out on the antichristian states under her jurisdiction, ( Revelation 16:1 ) ( 17:16 ) ( 18:8 ) : and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth:
every traveller that passeth to and fro; it shall no more be frequented by merchants; nor will there be any merchandise any more in it, ( Revelation 18:11 ) .

Ezekiel 35:7 In-Context

5 "Because you maintained an ancient hatred and handed over the Israelites to the power of the sword in the time of their disaster, the time of final punishment,

6 therefore, as I live"-[this is] the declaration of the Lord God -"I will destine you for bloodshed, and it will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, it will pursue you.

7 I will make Mount Seir a desolate waste and will cut off from it those who come and go.

8 I will fill its mountains with the slain; those slain by the sword will fall on your hills, in your valleys, and in all your ravines.

9 I will make you a perpetual desolation; your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
