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.
