Ezekiel7:21
21 And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil, and they shall pollute it .
My Temple.
Power and Possession.
Forreigners who by direction of my Law were excluded coming to it, they now shall enter into it, and take the riches of it as lawful prey.
This description of these men, strangers by their distance of place, and the worst of Men on Earth by the proud, cruel, and fierce disposition.
Enter, spoil, tear down, and use the Temple as a vile place, and make no difference between this and other places. This I think the proper sense, some say the Text speaks of the rich Idols which the Idolaters accounted most holy, and on which they laid out their Treasure, and which now the Chaldeans should plunder and pollute.
