Commentary on Ezekiel 28:19

Theological / Devotional

Shall be astonished. This must be left in the figure. Satan long survives all other sinners in the lake of fire (see EW 294, 295). The righteous within the city will witness the renovating fires.

Never shalt thou be any more. This statement provides the assurance that sin, once eradicated, will never again mar God’s universe (see Nahum 1:9). By allowing rebellion to ripen fully, God has secured the future. The inhabitants of God’s vast universe have developed a spiritual immunity against evil that secures them against future transgression. The results of apostasy from God’s government are fully known. All are convinced of the justice, benevolence, and wisdom of God’s character. Never will sin disrupt the perfect harmony that pervades God’s re-created earth.
