Ezekiel 36 The Land and the People Transformed

Ezekiel 36 Prophesy to The MOUNTAINS of ISRAEL v1 Literal Mountains do not hear Hearing implies an acknowledgement of the Truth. Romans 10:17; Ezekiel 37:4 Hear, Shama, to hear with intelligence

Ezekiel 36 The Ancient high places are ours v2. Rotherham renders it, have become ours The Prophesy refers to a time that the Gentiles rule in Jerusalem. Daniel 11:45; Luke 21:24; Romans 11:25-26

Ezekiel 36 They have made you desolate ; Swallowed you up on every side ; A Prey Vv3-4. Daniel 9:26-27 Ezekiel 38:13

Ezekiel 36 Surely in the fire of my Jealousy v5. Connecting with the Judgments of the Christ and the Saints! Isaiah 42:13; 66:15-16; Zechariah 8:2; Zephaniah 3:8 Note the connection back to chp. 35. Idumea

Ezekiel 36 Ye have borne the shame of the heathen v6. The insult of the nations, ye have borne, Rotherham. Clearly demonstrating this is preadventual, Isaiah 54:4; Joel 2:27; Ezekiel 34:29

Ezekiel 36 Shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit v8. - John 15:16 Ye shall be tilled and sown v9. - Matthew 13:4-8; Romans 11:15,23

Ezekiel 36 I will settle you after your old estates v11. - Amos 9:11 Ye shall know that I am Yahweh No more bereave them of Children v12. - Ct. Jeremiah 15:7. Implies a faithful people, repentant, and converted!

Ezekiel 36 Shame and Reproach Vv. 13-15 Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame. At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the Lord. Zephaniah 3:19-20

Ezekiel 36 A Transformed People Verses 16-38

Ezekiel 36 V19. I scattered them among the heathen and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them They walked in the ways of death - Proverbs 14:12; ct. Matthew 7:14 If he is to not punish the current nation for their evils, why did he punish their Fathers? Is Yahweh inconsistent? Does he make captive an evil generation and bless another evil generation? NO!

Ezekiel 36 V20 They profaned Yahweh s holy name! Isaiah 52:5-6; Romans 2:24

Ezekiel 36 V21-24 - For His name s sake he will bring them to repentance! He will SANCTIFY His name, He will SANCTIFY them!

We look upon the Jews in their present condition, and find them destitute of much that is admirable. They seem the embodiments of sordidness and callousness. This is a difficulty in the case at which many honest minds stumble. They say, how is such a character to be reconciled with the coming blessing of Him who is no respecter of persons, and who gives to every man according to his work. There would be force in this inquiry if the restoration of the Jews were conditional upon the moral condition of the nation. That it is not is evident from Ezekiel 36:22,32 Robert Roberts, Christendom Astray, page 299

At the same time, though national restoration as a purpose of God is not contingent upon national reformation, there will be a national purgation before that restoration is effected. Though they will be gathered from the countries irrespectively of moral condition, they will not necessarily obtain admission into the land. That admission is conditional with every individual of the nation. This is evident from Ezekiel 20:34-38 Robert Roberts, Christendom Astray, page 300

Ezekiel 36 V21-23 - For His name s sake he will bring them to repentance! He will SANCTIFY His name, He will SANCTIFY them! Ezekiel 20:33-44; Zechariah 13:89

BUSF Clauses 2022 That for this purpose God will send Jesus Christ personally to the earth at the close of the times of the Gentiles. (Psa. 102:16,21; Dan. 7:13-14; Acts 1:9,11; 3:20-21; II Tim. 4:1). That the kingdom which he will establish will be the kingdom of Israel restored, in the territory it formerly occupied, viz., the land bequeathed for an everlasting possession to Abraham and his seed (the Christ) by covenant. (Gen. 22:14,17; Lev. 26:42; Jer. 23:3,8; Ezek. 37:21-22; Amos 9:11,15; Micah 4:6-8; 7:20; Gal. 3:16; Heb. 11:8-9). That this restoration of the kingdom again to Israel will involve the ingathering of God's chosen but scattered nation, the Jews; their reinstatement in the land of their fathers, when it shall have been reclaimed from "the desolation of many generations;" the building again of Jerusalem to become "the throne of the Lord" and the metropolis of the whole earth. (Isa. 11:12; 24:23; 51:3; 60:15; 62:4; Jer. 3:7; 31:10; Ezek. 36:34,36; Joel 3:17; Micah 4:7-8; Zech. 8:8).
