About Ezekiel 35: The Judgment on Mount Seir
In Ezekiel chapter 35, the Lord gives a message of judgment against Mount Seir, the territory of Edom. The Edomites had been historically hostile towards the people of Israel, and now they will face the consequences of their actions. The Lord promises to turn Mount Seir into a desolation and a wasteland, with no inhabitant left.
Commentary
The message of judgment in Ezekiel 35 serves as a reminder that God is just and righteous. Those who choose to rebel against God and harm His people will ultimately face the consequences of their actions. Yet, even in the midst of judgment, there is also a message of hope. In verse 10, the Lord promises to make Himself known among the nations when He executes His judgments. This serves as a reminder that God's ultimate plan is to bring all nations to Himself, and His judgments serve as a means to accomplish that plan.
