Ezekiel 36:24 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 36:24

For I will take you from among the Heathen
The Chaldeans and other nations, among whom they were carried captive; and the Papists, among whom many of them now are, often called Heathens and Gentiles in Scripture: this will be fully completed at the time of the Jews' conversion in the latter day: the phrase fitly expresses the act of divine grace, in taking his people from among the world by the effectual calling: and gather you out of all countries;
to himself, and to his Son, and to his church, and to some certain place from whence they will go up in a body to their own land, as follows: see ( Hosea 1:11 ) : and will bring you into your own land;
into the land of Canaan literally understood, as well as into the church of God here, and into the heavenly country hereafter, of which Canaan was a type.
