Book ◦ Chapter

Then the nations will know
This phrase indicates a future revelation to the Gentile nations. It suggests a time when God's actions will be so evident that all peoples will recognize His sovereignty. This is reminiscent of other prophetic passages where God's power and holiness are demonstrated to the world, such as inIsaiah 52:10 andPsalm 98:2-3.

that I the LORD
The use of "I the LORD" emphasizes God's personal involvement and authority. It is a declaration of His identity as Yahweh, the covenant-keeping God of Israel. This phrase is a reminder of God's unique relationship with Israel and His ultimate authority over all creation, as seen throughout the Old Testament.

sanctify Israel
To sanctify means to set apart as holy. This indicates a divine action where God purifies and consecrates Israel, fulfilling His promises of restoration and holiness. This sanctification is a recurring theme in Ezekiel, where God promises to cleanse and renew His people (Ezekiel 36:25-27).

when My sanctuary is among them
The sanctuary refers to the dwelling place of God, symbolizing His presence among His people. Historically, this was the tabernacle and later the temple in Jerusalem. The prophecy points to a future time when God's presence will be permanently established among His people, echoing the promise of a new covenant inJeremiah 31:33.

forever.’”
The term "forever" signifies an eternal promise, indicating the everlasting nature of God's covenant with Israel. This eternal aspect is seen in the prophetic vision of a new heaven and new earth inRevelation 21:3, where God's dwelling is with humanity forever. It also points to the ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, who is the true temple and through whom God's presence is eternally with His people (John 1:14,Revelation 21:22).

Teaching Points

God's Presence as a Sign of Sanctification
God's presence among His people is a powerful testament to His sanctifying work. As believers, we are called to live in a way that reflects His holiness, knowing that His Spirit dwells within us.

The Witness to the Nations
The transformation and sanctification of God's people serve as a witness to the world. Our lives should demonstrate God's power and love, drawing others to Him.

The Eternal Nature of God's Promises
God's promise to dwell with His people forever assures us of His faithfulness. We can trust in His eternal promises and find hope in His unchanging nature.

The Role of the Sanctuary
The sanctuary symbolizes God's presence and His desire for a relationship with His people. In Christ, we become the temple of the Holy Spirit, called to live in communion with God.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 28 describes the effect which such a glorious transformation of Israel's character and condition, should produce upon the heathen world. They should recognize from his presence amongst his people, symbolized by the establishment in their midst of his sanctuary, that he had both the power and the will to sanctify them, by making them inwardly as well as outwardly holy; and, recognizing this, they would seek admittance to the congregation and fellowship of God's spiritual Israel.
