EZEKIEL 36

GOD WILL REDEEM ISRAEL FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE

The mountains of Israel have been destroyed by enemy nations, but God promises that Israel will grow new branches and become fruitful once again. God will restore the nation, making them no longer a disgrace.

Through their idol worship and sinfulness, the Israelites profaned God’s name. God’s rehabilitation of Israel to their land will bring honor to God’s holy name once again.

God plans to gather, cleanse, purify, and redeem the Israelites before reinstating them the land given to their ancestors. Replacing their hearts of stone with hearts of flesh, God desires to be known and worshiped by the Israelites. God does all of this for His glory and His name's sake!

Ezekiel 36:8 - But you, O mountains of Israel, shall shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit to my people Israel, for they will soon come home.
