Ezekiel 36:23

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 36:23

Will sanctify, by clearing it up, and removing the objection that the Jews’ sufferings and sins among the Babylonians had raised. My great name; they gave the heathen occasion to think meanly and contemptibly of me, but I will show I am as great as good, in both infinite. Was profaned: see Ezekiel 36:20,Ezekiel 36:22. Which ye have profaned; God chargeth the Jews with the blasphemies the heathen cast on God, the Jews were the cause of them, and they are therefore justly imputed to the Jews.... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 36:23-24

Ezekiel 36:23-24 Passing over the special application of these words to the Jews and looking at them in their prophetical connection with the scheme of redemption, I remark I. That God might have vindicated His honour and sanctified His Name in our destruction. Two methods of glorifying His Name are open to God.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 36:1-38
