4I will not look on you with pity, nor will I spare you, but I will punish you for your ways and for the abominations among you. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’ 5This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Disaster! An unprecedented disaster — behold, it is coming!Cross References

Ezekiel 7:3 Summary
[Ezekiel 7:3 is a warning from God that His patience is wearing thin, and He is about to unleash His anger upon those who have rebelled against Him. This is similar to what is described in 2 Peter 3:9, where it is written that God is patient, not wanting anyone to perish, but for all to come to repentance. God will judge each person based on their actions and decisions, and He will repay them for their sins. To avoid God's judgment, we must turn to Him in repentance and faith, as described in Acts 2:38.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for the 'end' to be upon someone?
In Ezekiel 7:3, the 'end' refers to the time of judgment and reckoning, similar to what is described in Matthew 24:14, where Jesus speaks of the end of the age. This is a time when God's patience wears thin, and He unleashes His wrath upon those who have rebelled against Him.
Why does God say He will 'unleash My anger'?
God's anger is a response to the sins and abominations of His people, as seen in Ezekiel 7:3. This is consistent with other scriptures, such as Romans 1:18, which describes God's wrath being revealed against all ungodliness and unrighteousness.
What does it mean to be 'judged according to your ways'?
This phrase, found in Ezekiel 7:3, means that God will evaluate and judge each person based on their actions and decisions, as described in Revelation 20:12-13, where it is written that God will judge people according to their works.
How can we avoid God's judgment and wrath?
To avoid God's judgment, we must turn to Him in repentance and faith, as described in Acts 2:38 and 1 John 1:9, where it is written that if we confess our sins, God is faithful to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways in which I may be contributing to the 'abominations' that God hates, and how can I repent of these sins?
- How can I align my life with God's ways, so that I may avoid His judgment and experience His mercy instead?
- What does it mean for me to 'know that I am the Lord', as stated in Ezekiel 7:4, and how can I cultivate a deeper understanding of God's character in my life?
- In what ways can I be a witness to others of God's impending judgment, and how can I call them to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ?
Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 7:3
Now [is] the end [come] upon thee,.... This is repeated for the confirmation of it, and for the sake of application of it to the people of Israel, of whom he had before spoken in the third person;
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 7:3
Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations. No JFB commentary on this verse.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 7:3
There shall be no more delays, mine anger is upon thee. It is I who send the Chaldeans, the pestilence, famine, &c.; these are commissioned by me. Will judge, punish, thee according to thy way, as thou deservest. Recompense, Heb. give, unto thee as the wages of thy iniquities, or lay all the guilt and all the punishment of all thy sins upon thee.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 7:3
