Ezekiel 36:34 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 36:34

32 ^aNot for your sake do I do this,” says the Lord God, “let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel!”

33 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will also enable you to dwell in the cities, ^aand the ruins shall be rebuilt.

34 The desolate land shall be tilled instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass by.

35 So they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of ^aEden; and the wasted, desolate, and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.’

36 Then the nations which are left all around you shall know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted what was desolate. ^aI, the Lord, have spoken it, and I will do it.”

37 ‘Thus says the Lord God: ^a“I will also let the house of Israel inquire of Me to do this for them: I will ^bincrease their men like a flock.

38 Like a flock offered as holy sacrifices, like the flock at Jerusalem on its² feast days, so shall the ruined cities be filled with flocks of men. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.” ’ ”
