Ezequiel 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 ) .

21 “Exibirei a minha glória entre as nações, e todas as nações verão o castigo que eu trouxer e a mão que eu colocar sobre eles.

22 Daquele dia em diante a nação de Israel saberá que eu sou o SENHOR, o seu Deus.

23 E as nações saberão que os israelitas foram para o exílio por sua iniquidade, porque me foram infiéis. Por isso escondi deles o meu rosto e os entreguei nas mãos de seus inimigos, e eles caíram à espada.
