Ezekiel 39:17-29

What is particularly meant by this sacrifice, and the feast that is promised to be made for the fowl and the beast, is not so very clear as to speak with any certainty! But by comparing scripture with scripture, perhaps a light is thrown on the subject. See therefore Revelation 19:17, etc. Doubtless it hath reference to the last day's dispensation! But the conclusion which God the Holy Ghost makes of the subject is most plain, and most blessed. The Lord will bring again the captivity of his people. The heathen shall see it, and be astonished. The people of God shall know it, and be blessed. God's covenant relations to them shall be made known, and his Church shall rejoice in them together. So that whatever obscurity attends the apprehension of the precise time and place of fulfilling these prophecies, in the result and termination of them there is no mistake or wrong conclusion whatever. Jesus will be glorified in his saints, and admired in all them that believe; while the enemies of our God, and of his Christ, shall be confounded, and put to silence forever. So that we may, in the faith and expectation of these great events cry out, in the language of the Prophet, Sing, O ye heavens, for the Lord hath done it; shout ye lower parts of the earth; break forth into singing ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein, for the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel. Isaiah 44:23.
