Ezekiel 20:42 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 20:42

And ye shall know that I am the Lord
The one only Jehovah, that keeps covenant; performs promises; is faithful to his word; is kind, gracious, and merciful, as well as mighty and powerful; and all this they shall experimentally know, and publicly own and acknowledge: when I shall bring you into the land of Israel;
which will be the Lord's doing; his hand and his power will be signally seen in it; this is one of the places in prophecy, which clearly asserts that the Jews, when converted, shall be brought into their own land again: into the country for the which I lifted up mine hand, to give it to
your fathers;
that is, which he swore he would give unto them.

Ezekiel 20:42 In-Context

40 On my holy mountain, the high mountain of Israel, all Israel will serve me in the land, says the Lord God. There I will accept you. There I will expect your offerings, the first harvest of your offerings, and all your holy gifts.

41 I will accept you like the pleasing smell of sacrifices when I bring you out from the foreign nations and gather you from the lands where you are scattered. Then through you I will show how holy I am so the nations will see.

42 When I bring you into the land of Israel, the land I promised your ancestors, you will know that I am the Lord.

43 There you will remember everything you did that made you unclean, and then you will hate yourselves for all the evil things you have done.

44 I will deal with you for the sake of my name, not because of your evil ways or unclean actions. Then you will know I am the Lord, people of Israel, says the Lord God.'" Babylon, the Lord's Sword
