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 Vous mangerez de la graisse jusqu'à vous en rassasier, Et vous boirez du sang jusqu'à vous enivrer, A ce festin de victimes que j'immolerai pour vous.
20 Vous vous rassasierez à ma table de la chair des chevaux et des cavaliers, De la chair des héros et de tous les hommes de guerre, Dit le Seigneur, l'Eternel.
21 Je manifesterai ma gloire parmi les nations; Et toutes les nations verront les jugements que j'exercerai, Et les châtiments dont ma main les frappera.
22 La maison d'Israël saura que je suis l'Eternel, son Dieu, Dès ce jour et à l'avenir.
23 Et les nations sauront que c'est à cause de ses iniquités Que la maison d'Israël a été conduite en captivité, A cause de ses infidélités envers moi; Aussi je leur ai caché ma face, Et je les ai livrés entre les mains de leurs ennemis, Afin qu'ils périssent tous par l'épée.
