Ezequiel 11:18 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 11:18

And they shall come thither
That those of the captivity shall come to the land of Israel, they or their posterity: and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof;
the idols of the nations, that had been there introduced, detestable to God and all good men: and all the abominations thereof from thence;
idols, as before, even all of them, so that idolatry should be wholly rooted out; this had its accomplishment under Zerubbabel, Ezra, Haggai when the worship of God was restored, and there was a reformation of many abuses in religion; and again in the times of the Maccabees; and will have a greater fulfilment at the time of the conversion of the Jews; when everything that is detestable and abominable among that people will be removed; of which conversion the following words are a prophecy.

Ezequiel 11:18 In-Context

16 »Por lo tanto, diles a los desterrados: “Esto dice el Señor
Soberano: ‘A pesar de que los esparcí por los países del mundo, yo seré un santuario para ustedes durante su tiempo en el destierro.

17 Yo, el Señor
Soberano, los reuniré de entre las naciones adonde fueron esparcidos y les daré una vez más el territorio de Israel’”.

18 »Cuando los israelitas regresen a su patria, quitarán todo rastro de sus imágenes repugnantes y sus ídolos detestables.

19 Les daré integridad de corazón y pondré un espíritu nuevo dentro de ellos. Les quitaré su terco corazón de piedra y les daré un corazón tierno y receptivo,

20 para que obedezcan mis decretos y ordenanzas. Entonces, verdaderamente serán mi pueblo y yo seré su Dios.
