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 "'I'm doing this because you've kept this age-old grudge going against Israel: You viciously attacked them when they were already down, looking their final punishment in the face.
6 Therefore, as sure as I am the living God, I'm lining you up for a real bloodbath. Since you loved blood so much, you'll be chased by rivers of blood.
7 I'll reduce Mount Seir to a heap of rubble. No one will either come or go from that place!
8 I'll blanket your mountains with corpses. Massacred bodies will cover your hills and fill up your valleys and ditches.
9 I'll reduce you to ruins and all your towns will be ghost towns - population zero. Then you'll realize that I am God.
