Commentary on Ezekiel 36:1

Theological / Devotional

Prophesy. Ezekiel’s theme now changes from one of judgment upon Israel and the surrounding nations to one of encouragement for his fellow countrymen. Ever since Israel fell, the enemies had had their high day of taunt and jubilation. Such a condition was not to continue. Even though Israel had been humiliated and was now being punished for her rebellion, God still recognized the Jews as His people. The apparent triumph of the enemies of God’s people would be momentary. Though cast down and helpless, Israel would be raised up, more glorious than ever.

Mountains of Israel. The promises of restoration here should be compared with the denunciation of the mountains of Israel in ch. 6.
