Ezekiel 20:36 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 20:36

34 I will bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you are scattered, with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out.

35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there ^aI will plead My case with you face to face.

36 ^aJust as I pleaded My case with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will plead My case with you,” says the Lord God.

37 “I will make you ^apass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the ^bcovenant;

38 ^aI will purge the rebels from among you, and those who transgress against Me; I will bring them out of the country where they dwell, but ^bthey shall not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

39 “As for you, O house of Israel,” thus says the Lord God: ^a“Go, serve every one of you his idols—and hereafter—if you will not obey Me; ^bbut profane My holy name no more with your gifts and your idols.

40 For ^aon My holy mountain, on the mountain height of Israel,” says the Lord God, “there ^ball the house of Israel, all of them in the land, shall serve Me; there ^cI will accept them, and there I will require your offerings and the firstfruits of your¹ sacrifices, together with all your holy things.
