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.

Ezekiel 39:27 In-Context

25 Therefore the Lord God saith these things, Now I shall lead again the captivity of Jacob, and I shall have mercy on all the house of Israel; and I shall take fervor for mine holy name. (And so the Lord God saith these things, Now I shall restore the prosperity of Jacob, and I shall have mercy on all the house of Israel; and I shall be jealous for my holy name.)
26 And they shall bear their shame, and all their trespassing by which they trespassed against me, when they dwelled in their land trustily, and dreaded no man (when they lived in their land with trust, and feared no one);
27 and when I shall bring them again from (the) peoples, and shall gather [them] (back) from the lands of their enemies, and shall be hallowed in them, before the eyes of full many folks (before the eyes of a great many nations).
28 And they shall know, that I am the Lord God of them, for that I translated them into (the) nations, and have gathered them on their land, and I left not any of them there. (And they shall know, that I am the Lord their God, for I led them captive to the nations, but now I have gathered them back again to their own land, and I have not left any of them there.)
29 And I shall no more hide my face from them, for I have shed out my spirit on all the house of Israel, saith the Lord God. (And no more shall I hide my face from them, for I have poured out my spirit upon all the house of Israel, saith the Lord God.)
