How preachers through history handled this text

21 public-domain excerpts on Ezekiel 11, from the church fathers to the Puritans.

Calvin 17 Spurgeon 2 Matthew Henry 1 John Wesley 1

“IT is very probable, says Pradus, that as there were twenty-four rulers, and as many regions into which Jerusalem was divided, and a chief over them all, so the magistracy of the city is here brought before us. He recognizes the analogy to the twenty-four elders in the Apocalypse. But there seems to be no authority for this division of the city into twenty-four "regions" or wards. See on this point Jahn Bibl. Arch., part 2 volume 2 section 187. The conduct of these evil counselors is well portrayed by Theodoret. …”
