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 cherished perpetual enmity and gave over the people of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, at the time of their final punishment,

6 therefore, as I live, declares the Lord God, I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you; because you did not hate bloodshed, therefore blood shall pursue you.

7 I will make Mount Seir a waste and a desolation, and I will cut off from it all who come and go.

8 And I will fill its mountains with the slain. On your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines those slain with the sword shall fall.

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