Commentary

Commentary on Ezekiel 5:6

Theological / Devotional

Changed my judgments into wickedness. Better, “she hath rebelliously resisted my judgments.” Rebellion is a willful act, premeditated and planned.

More than the nations. This must be understood in the sense that the Israelites had sinned against greater light. God judges men on the basis of the light and opportunities they have had or might have had if they had sought after them. Those who constitute the church of God in the present age have the accumulated light of the ages concentrated upon them. God expects a higher standard of them than of men in any previous age. If they refuse and rebelliously resist as did Israel, their guilt will be proportionately greater.
