As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Como te alegraste tú sobre la heredad de la Casa de Israel, porque fue asolada, así te haré a ti: asolado será el Monte de Seir, y toda Idumea, toda ella; y sabrán que yo soy el SEÑOR.
This whole chapter strongly inculcates this maxim: Do as thou wouldst be done by; and what thou wouldst not have done to thee, do not to others.
And from it we learn that every man may, in some sort, be said to make his own temporal good or evil; for as he does to others, God will take care to do to him, whether it be evil or good, weal or wo. Would you not be slandered or backbitten? Then do not slander nor backbite. Wouldst thou wish to live in peace? Then do not disturb the peace of others. Be merciful, and thou shalt obtain mercy.
Ezek. 35:1-9 All who have God against them, have the word of God against them. Those that have a constant hatred to God and his people as the carnalmind has, can only expect to be made desolate for ever.
Ezek. 35:10-15 When we see the vanity of the world in the disappointments, losses, and crosses, which others meet with, instea of showing ourselves greedy of worldly things, we should sit more loos to them. In the multitude of words, not one is unknown to God; not the most idle word; and the most daring is not above his rebuke. In the destruction of the enemies of the church, God designs his own glory and we may be sure that he will not come short of his design. And when the fulness of the Jews and Gentiles shall come into the church, all antichristian opposers shall be destroyed __________________________________________________________________
