Berean Study Bible
And I will no longer hide My face from them
The phrase "hide My face" is deeply rooted in the Hebrew concept of God's presence and favor. In the Old Testament, God's face represents His attention, blessing, and relational presence. When God "hides His face," it signifies a withdrawal of His favor and protection, often due to the people's sin and rebellion. Historically, Israel experienced this during times of disobedience, such as the Babylonian exile. The promise that God will "no longer hide" His face is a profound assurance of restored relationship and divine favor. It speaks to the ultimate reconciliation and redemption that God promises His people, a theme that resonates with the hope of eternal communion with God.
for I will pour out My Spirit
The act of pouring out the Spirit is a significant prophetic promise that finds its roots in the Hebrew word "ruach," meaning breath, wind, or spirit. This outpouring signifies a generous and abundant giving of God's own Spirit, indicating a transformative and empowering presence among His people. In the broader biblical narrative, this promise is fulfilled in the New Testament with the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost (Acts 2), marking a new era of God's interaction with humanity. Theologically, it underscores the transition from the old covenant, characterized by law, to the new covenant, characterized by grace and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
on the house of Israel
The "house of Israel" refers to the collective people of Israel, God's chosen nation. Historically, this phrase encompasses the twelve tribes of Israel, descendants of the patriarch Jacob. In the context of Ezekiel, it speaks to the restoration and unification of a people who had been divided and exiled. From a conservative Christian perspective, this promise extends to the spiritual Israel, the Church, which includes all who are grafted into the promises of God through faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 11). It highlights God's faithfulness to His covenant people and His plan for their ultimate redemption and restoration.
declares the Lord GOD
The declaration "declares the Lord GOD" is a solemn affirmation of divine authority and certainty. The Hebrew term "Adonai Yahweh" emphasizes God's sovereignty and covenantal faithfulness. This phrase assures the reader of the reliability and unchangeable nature of God's promises. In the context of Ezekiel, it serves as a powerful reminder that the words spoken are not merely human hopes but divine certainties. For believers, it is a call to trust in God's ultimate plan and His ability to bring about His purposes in history and in individual lives.
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers
(29) I have poured out.--Comp. Joel 2:28-29; Acts 2:17. See Excursus G at the end of this book.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 29. - I have poured out my Spirit upon the house of Israel. Already Jehovah had promised to put his Spirit in his people (Ezekiel 36:27; Ezekiel 37:14); now the fact that he has implemented that promise by a copious effusion of the same he cites as a proof that Israel shall no more forfeit his favor because no more shall she forsake his ways (comp. Isaiah 59:21). The same promise had been previously given by Joel (Joel 2:28), and was afterwards renewed by Zechariah (Zechariah 12:10). The citation of Joel's words by Peter on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:17) shows that he regarded the remarkable effusion of the Holy Ghost on that memorable occasion as a fulfillment of the premise here recorded by Ezekiel. Yet the promise was not then exhausted. Rather it has often since been implemented, and will doubtless receive its consummation in the New Jerusalem. "No historical Church, Jewish or Gentile," writes Plumptre, "has ever yet realized the picture here sketched by Ezekiel. We ask, as before - Will it ever be realized on earth? or must we look for it only in the heavenly city whose Builder and Maker is God?" NOTE. - In addition to what has been stated at the beginning of this prophecy (Ezekiel 38:1) with reference to the general significance of this invasion by and overthrow of Cog, that it points to some tremendous conflict in the latter days between the powers of the world and the Church of Christ, a few words may be offered in support of the preposition that nevertheless there is no reason to expect that this conflict will take the form of an actual invasion of the land of Israel or of a real fire-and-sword battle with the Church, or that Gog will step upon the field as a veritable flesh-and-blood personality, and his armies find a grave in the manner sketched by the prophet. That the whole delineation is symbolic, and embodies spiritual truths under material emblems, will hardly be doubted by one who impartially weighs the following considerations, which have been admirably brought together by Fairbairn.
1. The designation given to the great assailant of the latter times - Gog, which discovers itself to be an ideal name, if by nothing else by the manner in which it has been formed.
2. The composition of his army, which is drawn from the four quarters of the globe, in fact, from the extremities of the earth, and consists of peoples not only remote from one another, but "the most unlike naturally to act in concert for any particular purpose."
3. The object of his attack - the land of Israel, a territory so small that it is inconceivable a host so great should have been required to capture it, and so poor that had the invaders got all it contained it "could not have served to maintain them for a single day." . . .
