Ezekiel 34:28 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 34:28

And they shall no more be a prey to the Heathen
To the Papists, who shall now be perished out of the land, ( Psalms 10:16 ) : neither shall, the beasts of the land devour them;
neither that beast which rose up out of the sea, nor that which came up out of the earth, ( Revelation 13:1 Revelation 13:11 ) , the pope, both in his secular and ecclesiastic power, being destroyed. So the Targum,

``and the kingdoms of the earth shall not consume them;''
the antichristian kingdoms: but they, shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid;
(See Gill on Ezekiel 34:25); (See Gill on Ezekiel 34:27).

Ezekiel 34:28 In-Context

26 I will bless them and let them live around my hill. I will cause the rains to come when it is time; there will be showers to bless them.
27 Also the trees in the countryside will give their fruit, and the land will give its harvest. And the sheep will be safe on their land. Then they will know that I am the Lord when I break the bars of their captivity and save them from the power of those who made them slaves.
28 They will not be led captive by the nations again. The wild animals will not eat them, but they will live safely, and no one will make them afraid.
29 I will give them a place famous for its good crops, so they will no longer suffer from hunger in the land. They will not suffer the insults of other nations anymore.
30 Then they will know that I, the Lord their God, am with them. The nation of Israel will know that they are my people, says the Lord God.
