Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 17:23

_ _ under it ... all fowl — the Gospel “mustard tree,” small at first, but at length receiving all under its covert (Matthew 13:32); the antithesis to Antichrist, symbolized by Assyria, of which the same is said (Ezekiel 31:6), and Babylon (Daniel 4:12). Antichrist assumes in mimicry the universal power really belonging to Christ.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 17:22-24.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 17:23

In the mountain — In Jerusalem. All fowl — All nations. In the shadow — There they shall find peace and safety.
