Ezequiel 37:25

Ezequiel 37:25 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 37:25

And they shall dwell in the land which I have given to Jacob
my servant
Abraham and Isaac are not mentioned, as Kimchi observes, because they had other children, who did not inherit the land; only Jacob, because the land was given to him, and his seed alter him: wherein your fathers have dwelt;
and so the more desirable to them; and whose inhabitation and possession of it were a pledge of theirs: and they shall dwell therein, even they and their children, and their
children's children for ever;
unto the end of the world, or personal coming of Christ: and so everything after promised them is said to be for ever: this shows that this prophecy had not its accomplishment in the return of the Jews from Babylon to their own land; since they have been dispossessed of that again, in which state they now are; but that it refers to time to come, when, being converted to Christ, they shall possess their land again, and dwell in it, as long as the sun and moon endure: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever;
or their king, as the Targum; and which cannot be understood of any temporal prince, but of the King Messiah, whose throne is for ever and ever; whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; and who shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever and ever, ( Psalms 45:6 ) ( Daniel 2:44 ) ( Luke 2:32 Luke 2:33 ) and to whom it is applied by several Jewish writers F11.

Ezequiel 37:25 In-Context

23 Não se contaminarão mais com seus ídolos e imagens detestáveis nem com nenhuma de suas transgressões, pois eu os salvarei de todas as suas apostasias pecaminosas e os purificarei. Eles serão o meu povo, e eu serei o seu Deus.
24 “O meu servo Davi será rei sobre eles, e todos eles terão um só pastor. Seguirão as minhas leis e terão o cuidado de obedecer aos meus decretos.
25 Viverão na terra que dei ao meu servo Jacó, a terra onde os seus antepassados viveram. Eles e os seus filhos e os filhos de seus filhos viverão ali para sempre, e o meu servo Davi será o seu líder para sempre.
26 Farei uma aliança de paz com eles; será uma aliança eterna. Eu os firmarei e os multiplicarei, e porei o meu santuário no meio deles para sempre.
27 Minha morada estará com eles; eu serei o seu Deus, e eles serão o meu povo.
