Ezekiel 39:28

28 And they have known that I [am] Jehovah their God, In My removing them unto the nations, And I have gathered them unto their land, And I leave none of them any more there.

Ezekiel 39:28 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 39:28

Then shall they know that I am the Lord their God
(See Gill on Ezekiel 39:22); which caused them to be led into captivity among the Heathen;
for their sins and transgressions: and so the Targum adds,

``because they sinned before me:''

but I have gathered them into their own land;
being now penitent for their sins, and believing in the Messiah: and so the Targum,

``and now, because they are converted, I have gathered them''

and have left none of them any more there;
among the Heathen, or in the land of their enemies; everyone shall be returned to the land of Canaan, be they where they will, as when they came out of Egypt: and this is typical of the salvation of God's elect, or mystical Israel; not one of them shall be lost or perish, but all shall be brought to repentance: this again shows, that this prophecy did not respect the return of the Jews from the Babylonish captivity; since then many were left behind.

Ezekiel 39:28 In-Context

26 And they have forgotten their shame, And all their trespass that they trespassed against Me, In their dwelling on their land confidently and none troubling.

27 In My bringing them back from the peoples, I have assembled them from the lands of their enemies, And I have been sanctified in them before the eyes of the many nations,

28 And they have known that I [am] Jehovah their God, In My removing them unto the nations, And I have gathered them unto their land, And I leave none of them any more there.

29 And I hide not any more My face from them, In that I have poured out My spirit on the house of Israel, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'
