This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
See on Eze 5:7.
that which I have not done - worse than any former judgments (Lam 4:6; Dan 9:12). The prophecy includes the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, and the final one by Antichrist (Zec 13:8, Zec 13:9; Zec 14:2), as well as that by Nebuchadnezzar. Their doom of evil was not exhausted by the Chaldean conquest. There was to be a germinating evil in their destiny, because there would be, as the Lord foresaw, a germinating evil in their character. As God connected Himself peculiarly with Israel, so there was to be a peculiar manifestation of God’s wrath against sin in their case [Fairbairn]. The higher the privileges the greater the punishment in the case of abuse of them. When God’s greatest favor, the gospel, was given, and was abused by them, then “the wrath was to come on them to the uttermost” (1Th 2:16).
