Ezekiel 20:41

Study

       

41 I will accept of you for an odour of sweetness, when I shall have brought you out from the people, and shall have gathered you out of the lands into which you are scattered, and I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations.

Commentarius

 

Pour out

  

'Pouring out the vials upon the earth, which contained the plagues,' in Revelation 16:1, signifies influx of the reformed into the church, or into people who study and receive the doctrine of justification by faith alone.

(Notae: Apocalypse Explained 16; Apocalypse Revealed 676)

Commentarius

 

Transgressions bound up

  

'Bound up transgressions,' as in Lamentations 1:14, stands for falsities approaching interior or rational things.
