Ezequiel 36:18 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 36:18

Wherefore I poured my fury on them
Like a mighty flood that carries all before it, in just retaliation for the blood they had shed upon the land;
the innocent blood, as the Targum; the blood of righteous men, that opposed and reproved them for their sinful ways; the blood of the prophets, that were sent to warn them of them; and especially the blood of the Son of God; for this prophecy reaches further than to the times of the Babylonish captivity: and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it;
or, "for their dung" ^F13; their dunghill gods; not only for their idols, and their idolatry, before the Babylonish captivity, which they after that were free from; but for the traditions of their elders, they set up against and above the word of God; and their own legal righteousness, their idols, the works of their hands, which wore as dung; and through their attachment to which they rejected Christ and his righteousness; and which brought wrath upon them, and them into their present captivity.

Ezequiel 36:18 In-Context

16 Veio a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:

17 Filho do homem, quando a casa de Israel habitava na sua terra, então eles a contaminaram com os seus caminhos e com as suas ações. Como a imundícia de uma mulher em sua separação, tal era o seu caminho diante de mim.

18 Derramei, pois, o meu furor sobre eles, por causa do sangue que derramaram sobre a terra, e porque a contaminaram com os seus ídolos;

19 e os espalhei entre as nações, e foram dispersos pelas terras; conforme os seus caminhos, e conforme os seus feitos, eu os julguei.

20 E, chegando �s nações para onde foram, profanaram o meu santo nome, pois se dizia deles: São estes o povo do Senhor, e tiveram de sair da sua terra.
