Commentaries on Ezekiel 36:8
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 8For they are at hand to come - The restoration of the Jews is so absolutely determined that you may rest assured it will take place; and be as confident relative to it, as if you saw the different families entering into the Israelitish borders. It was near at hand in God's determination, though there were about fifty-eight of the seventy years unelapsed.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 8They are at hand to come - i. e., under Zerubbabel.Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 8-11When God’s people returned to their land, Israel would grow in number and in harvest. This would fulfill the command God gave at creation to “be fruitful and multiply” (Genesis 1:28).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 88. they are at hand to come--that is, the Israelites are soon about to return to their land. This proves that the primary reference of the prophecy is to the return from Babylon, which was "at hand," or comparatively near. But this only in part fulfilled the prediction, the full and final blessing in future, and the restoration from Babylon was an earnest of it.Read the comment
