Ezekiel 39:27 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 39:27

When I have brought them again from the people
That is, then shall they be ashamed, and repent of all their trespasses and sins: and gathered them out of their enemies lands;
from the provinces of their enemies, as the Targum; when they are collected together in a body out of each of the nations where they are now dispersed, and brought to their own land: and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
when they shall publicly repent of their sins, and forsake them, and seek the Lord their God, and the King Messiah, and embrace and profess him, and acknowledge that God has been righteous and holy in all his dispensations towards them.

25 The Sovereign Lord said, "But now I will be merciful to Jacob's descendants, the people of Israel, and make them prosperous again. I will protect my holy name.

26 When they are once more living in safety in their own land, with no one to threaten them, they will be able to forget how they were disgraced for having betrayed me.

27 In order to show to the many nations that I am holy, I will bring my people back from all the countries where their enemies live.

28 Then my people will know that I am the Lord their God. They will know this, because I sent them into captivity and now gather them and bring them back into their own land, not leaving even one of them behind.

29 I will pour out my spirit on the people of Israel and never again turn away from them. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken."
