Commentary on Ezekiel 37:25

Theological / Devotional

For ever. Strong emphasis is given to the permanence of the new state. Here the occupancy of the land and the kingship of David is said to be forever. According to vs. 26-28 the sanctuary is to be “in the midst of them for evermore” and the covenant of peace is to be “an everlasting covenant.” With these expressions should be compared the following statements concerning God’s intent: “Had Israel remained true to God, this glorious building [Solomon’s Temple] would have stood forever, a perpetual sign of God’s especial favor to His chosen people” (PK 46). “Had Israel as a nation preserved her allegiance to Heaven, Jerusalem would have stood forever, the elect of God” (GC 19). Ezekiel describes conditions as they might have been (see Luke 19:42).
