Ezekiel 36:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 36:9

7 Therefore thus says the Lord God: “I have ^araised My hand in an oath that surely the nations that are around you shall ^bbear their own shame.

8 But you, O mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit to My people Israel, for they are about to come.

9 For indeed I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown.

10 I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited and ^athe ruins rebuilt.

11 ^aI will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and¹ bear young; I will make you inhabited as in former times, and do ^bbetter for you than at your beginnings. ^cThen you shall know that I am the Lord.

12 Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, My people Israel; ^athey shall take possession of you, and you shall be their inheritance; no more shall you ^bbereave them of children.”

13 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Because they say to you, ^a‘You devour men and bereave your nation of children,’

Ezekiel 36:9-11

So he is talking to the land and he says: “they are about to come: get ready.”

If this land was awesome to Lewis and Clark, to Jedidiah Smith, to those men—the mountain men, Jim Bridger and those people—what is it going to be like after converted people are working the land? What I want to help us understand is it is not going to happen magically. This time man is going to be made by God to restore what man destroyed. God is going to help a great deal. He is going to give good weather and He will do His part, but He is going to require man to do his part too. That is kind of the theme of this sermon. People are going to learn by experiencing God in their life. By putting into practice His laws, His principles, and they are going to see it work.
