Ezekiel 34
1. A reproof of the shepherds
7. God's judgment against them
11. His providence over his flock
20. The kingdom of Christ














The trees of the field will give their fruit
This phrase signifies a return to abundance and prosperity. In the Hebrew context, trees bearing fruit symbolize divine blessing and fertility. The imagery of fruitful trees is often used in the Old Testament to depict God's favor and the restoration of Israel. The Hebrew word for "fruit" (פְּרִי, peri) conveys the idea of productivity and blessing, indicating that under God's care, the land will flourish once more.

and the land will yield its produce
The land yielding its produce is a promise of agricultural prosperity. In ancient Israel, the land's productivity was directly linked to the people's covenant relationship with God. The Hebrew word for "produce" (יְבוּל, yebul) suggests a bountiful harvest, reflecting God's provision and the fulfillment of His promises. This phrase reassures the Israelites of God's continued faithfulness and the restoration of their fortunes.

My flock will be secure in their land
The term "My flock" refers to God's people, emphasizing His role as the Shepherd. The imagery of a flock being secure highlights safety, peace, and divine protection. In the Hebrew context, security in the land is a sign of God's covenantal faithfulness. The word "secure" (בָּטַח, batach) implies trust and confidence, indicating that under God's guidance, His people will dwell without fear.

Then they will know that I am the LORD
This phrase underscores the purpose of God's actions: to reveal His identity and sovereignty. The Hebrew word for "know" (יָדַע, yada) implies an intimate understanding and recognition of God's character and authority. This acknowledgment is not merely intellectual but relational, as the people experience God's deliverance and faithfulness firsthand.

when I have broken the bars of their yoke
The "bars of their yoke" symbolize oppression and bondage. In the ancient Near Eastern context, a yoke was a wooden beam used to harness animals, representing subjugation. The breaking of these bars signifies liberation and freedom. The Hebrew word for "broken" (שָׁבַר, shabar) conveys a decisive and powerful act of deliverance, highlighting God's intervention to free His people from their oppressors.

and delivered them from the hands of those who enslaved them
This phrase speaks to God's redemptive power and His commitment to rescue His people. The word "delivered" (נָצַל, natsal) in Hebrew suggests a snatching away or rescue from danger. The historical context of Israel's enslavement, whether in Egypt or Babylon, serves as a backdrop for this promise of deliverance. It reassures the Israelites of God's ability to save and restore them, reinforcing His role as their Redeemer and Protector.

Verses 27, 28. - When I have broken the bands of their yoke. The underlying meaning of the figurative language of ver. 25 is now utterly explained. Israel is to be delivered from its Chaldean and other oppressors. The "yoke shall be broken." They shall no more be a prey to the heathen. None shall make them afraid.
