Context — God’s Sword of Judgment

25And you, O profane and wicked prince of Israel, the day has come for your final punishment.’ 26This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Remove the turban, and take off the crown. Things will not remain as they are: Exalt the lowly and bring low the exalted.

27A ruin, a ruin, I will make it a ruin! And it will not be restored until the arrival of Him to whom it belongs, to whom I have assigned the right of judgment. ’

28Now prophesy, son of man, and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says concerning the Ammonites and their contempt: ‘A sword! A sword is drawn for slaughter, polished to consume, to flash like lightning— 29while they offer false visions for you and lying divinations about you— to be placed on the necks of the wicked who are slain, whose day has come, the time of their final punishment.

Ezekiel 21:27 Summary

Ezekiel 21:27 is a verse about God's judgment on Israel, where He promises to make it a complete ruin because of its sins. However, it also gives hope of restoration when Jesus Christ comes, to whom God has given the right to judge (as seen in Acts 10:42). This verse teaches us that God is a just God who will judge sin, but He is also a merciful God who will restore what is broken (like in Jeremiah 31:31-34, where God promises a new covenant). We can apply this to our own lives by recognizing our need for God's mercy and judgment, and looking forward to Jesus' return, when all things will be made new (Revelation 21:5).

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the phrase 'A ruin, a ruin, I will make it a ruin' mean in Ezekiel 21:27?

This phrase emphasizes God's judgment on Israel, indicating a complete and utter destruction, similar to what is described in Jeremiah 25:11, where the land will be desolate for seventy years.

Who is the 'Him to whom it belongs' in Ezekiel 21:27?

The 'Him to whom it belongs' is a reference to Jesus Christ, the Messiah, as seen in Daniel 9:24-27, where it speaks of the coming Anointed One who will bring redemption and restoration.

What is the 'right of judgment' assigned to Him in Ezekiel 21:27?

The 'right of judgment' refers to Jesus' authority to judge all nations, as described in Matthew 25:31-46, where He separates the sheep from the goats, and in Acts 17:31, where God appoints a day to judge the world through Jesus Christ.

Will Israel be restored after this judgment?

Yes, according to Ezekiel 21:27, Israel will be restored when the One to whom it belongs, Jesus Christ, arrives, as also prophesied in Romans 11:25-27, where it speaks of the fullness of the Gentiles and the salvation of all Israel.

Reflection Questions

What does this verse reveal about God's character, specifically His justice and mercy?
How does the concept of judgment in this verse relate to my own life, and what areas do I need to surrender to God's judgment?
What hope can I derive from the promise of restoration in this verse, and how can I apply it to my own situations of despair or ruin?
In what ways can I, like the lowly, be exalted by God, as mentioned in the surrounding verses, and what humility is required of me?

Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 21:27

I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it,.... The crown and kingdom of Judah; which being expressed three times, has not respect, as Kimchi thinks, to the three generations, in which the crown ceased

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 21:27

I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 21:27

This triplication of the threat speaks the certainty of the event, and also the gradual, successive troubles and overthrows that this kingdom should ever after be afflicted with. It shall be no more; never recover its former glory and strength, but consume, till the sceptre be quite taken away from Judah, and way be made for the Messiah, who is he that is to come, whose is the dominion, and to whom the Father will give it. So the final desolation of the temporal kingdom of the seed of David, which was most heavy tidings to the carnal Jews, is threatened, and the eternal kingdom of the Messiah, most joyful tidings to the believing Jews, is promised.

Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 21:27

Ezekiel 21:27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no [more], until he come whose right it is; and I will give it [him].Ver. 27. I will overturn, overturn, overturn it.] Curvam, curvam, curvam ponam eam, so the Tigurines translate. A crown there shall be still, but such as shall hang on one side of the head, as it were. Princes of the people there were. Those three high priests, Alexander, Aristobulus, and Hircanus, who called themselves kings, had very ill Success. Until he come.] Christ the rightful King of Israel. To this text alludeth Nathanael.

Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 21:27

(27) And it shall be no more.—Literally, this also shall not be. After the emphatic repetition of “over-turn” at the beginning of the verse, it is now added that the condition which follows the overthrow shall not be permanent; “the foundations” shall be put “out of course,” and everything thrown into that condition of flux and change, without permanent settlement, which was so characteristic of the state of Judaea until the coming of Christ. Until he come whose right it is.—This is generally acknowledged as a reference to Genesis 49:10, “until Shiloh come” even by those who reject the interpretation of Shiloh as meaning “he to whom it belongs.” The promise here made refers plainly both to the priestly and to the royal prerogatives, and a still more distinct foretelling of the union of both in the Messiah may be found in Zechariah 6:12-13. In Him, and in Him alone, will all this confusion and uncertainty come to an end; for, as Ezekiel’s contemporary declared, “His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed” (Daniel 7:14).

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 21:27

Verse 27. I will overturn] I will utterly destroy the Jewish government. Perverted will I make it. See the margin. Until he come whose - is] משפט mishpat, the judgment; i.e., till the coming of the son of David, the Lord Jesus; who, in a mystic and spiritual sense, shall have the throne of Israel, and whose right it is. See the famous prophecy, Genesis 49:10, and Lu 1:32. The avah, which we translate overturn, is thrice repeated here; to point out, say the rabbins, the three conquests of Jerusalem, in which Jehoiakim, Jeconiah, and Zedekiah were overthrown.

Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 21:27

27. and it shall be no more] Or, yea this—it shall not be (or, it is gone!). “This” does not refer to the condition introduced by the overturning, but goes back and resumes the present condition of things, which shall be overturned till he comes who hath the right, the Messiah. On verb, cf. Isaiah 15:6; Job 6:21. until he come … give it him] Rather: and I will give it him. He whose right it is, or, he who hath the right, is the Messiah. Reference is possibly to Genesis 49:10, where Ezek. read shelloh (whose), not as now Shiloh.

Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 21:27

27. I will overturn, overturn, overturn — The threefold repetition of divine emphasis. It is not Nebuchadnezzar who overturns the throne of Judah, but Jehovah. And it shall be no more — Or, yea, this — it is gone (Davidson).
