Ezekiel prophesies against Jerusalem with a sign of sighing8. The sharp and bright sword 18. against Jerusalem 25. against the kingdom 28. and against the Ammonites I too will strike My hands together This phrase signifies a gesture of finality and determination. In ancient Near Eastern cultures, striking hands together was often a sign of sealing a decision or expressing strong emotion, such as anger or resolve. Here, it indicates God's decisive action against the people of Israel due to their persistent disobedience. This gesture can be seen as a divine response to the people's actions, emphasizing that God is not passive but actively involved in the unfolding events. The imagery of God striking His hands together also conveys the seriousness of the impending judgment, aligning with other biblical instances where God expresses His wrath, such as in Isaiah 5:25 and Jeremiah 6:11. and I will satisfy My wrath. I, the LORD, have spoken.” Persons / Places / Events 1. EzekielA prophet called by God to deliver His messages to the Israelites during their exile in Babylon. He is known for his vivid visions and symbolic actions. 2. The LORD (Yahweh) The covenant God of Israel, who is speaking through Ezekiel. He is expressing His judgment and eventual subsiding of wrath. 3. Israel The nation to whom Ezekiel is prophesying. They are in exile due to their disobedience and idolatry. 4. Babylon The empire that has taken Israel into captivity. It serves as the instrument of God's judgment against Israel. 5. Judgment The event of God's wrath being executed upon Israel for their sins, as well as the eventual cessation of that wrath. Teaching Points God's Sovereignty in JudgmentGod is in control of all events, including the execution and cessation of His wrath. His actions are purposeful and just. The Seriousness of Sin Sin provokes God's wrath, and His judgment is a response to human disobedience. This should lead us to repentance and a desire to live righteously. The Hope of Mercy Even in judgment, there is hope. God's wrath subsiding indicates His willingness to restore and forgive those who turn back to Him. The Certainty of God's Word When God speaks, it is certain to come to pass. His declarations through the prophets are trustworthy and should be heeded. The Role of Prophets Prophets like Ezekiel are God's messengers, delivering His word to guide, warn, and encourage His people. We should value and study their messages.(17) My fury to rest.--As in Ezekiel 16:42, because it has accomplished its purpose and has nothing more to do. (Comp. Ezekiel 5:13; Ezekiel 14:13.) At Ezekiel 21:18 the third and final prophecy of the chapter begins, and, besides being much more explicit than the others, includes also a new subject (Ezekiel 21:28-32), a prophecy against Ammon. Hitherto it has only been foretold that Judah shall be desolated, now it is added that this shall be effected by the king of Babylon, and that he shall also extend his conquests to the Ammonites. . . . Verses 17-19. - The new section opens in a different strain. Ezekiel sees, as in vision, Nebuchadnezzar and his army on their march. He is told to appoint (better, make, or mark, as on a brick or tile, as in Ezekiel 4:1) a place where the road bifurcated. Both come from one land, i.e. from Babylon; but from that point onwards one road led to Rabbath, the capital of the Ammonites (Deuteronomy 3:11; 2 Samuel 11:1), the other to Jerusalem. Apparently, the exiles and the people of Judah flattered themselves that the former was the object of the expedition. The answer to that false hope is a vivid picture of what was passing in the council of war which Nebuchadnezzar was holding at that parting of the ways. The prophet sees, as it were, the sign post pointing, as with a hand, to each of the two cities The king consults his soothsayers, and uses divinations. Of these Ezekiel enumerates three:(1) He shakes the arrows to and fro (Revised Version). This was known among the Greeks as the βέλομαντεια The arrows were put into a quiver, with names (in this case probably Rabbath and Jerusalem) written on them. One was then drawn, or thrown, out as by chance, and decided the direction of the campaign. (2) He consults the images (Hebrew, teraphim). The modus operandi in this case is not known, but Judges 18:18 and Hosea 3:4 point to some such use of them. (3) There remains the sacrifice and the inspection of the liver, familiar alike in Greek, Etrurian, and Roman divination (Cicero, 'De Divin.,' 6:13).
