28 Then the nations will know that I the Lord make Israel holy, when my sanctuary is among them forever.' "
28 And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
28 Then the nations will know that I am the Lord who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is in their midst forevermore."
28 "'The nations will realize that I, God, make Israel holy when my holy place of worship is established at the center of their lives forever.'"
28 The nations also will know that I, the Lord, sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forevermore." ' "
28 And when my Temple is among them forever, the nations will know that I am the Lord, who makes Israel holy."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 37:28
Commentary on Ezekiel 37:15-28
(Read Ezekiel 37:15-28)
This emblem was to show the people, that the Lord would unite Judah and Israel. Christ is the true David, Israel's King of old; and those whom he makes willing in the day of his power, he makes to walk in his judgments, and to keep his statutes. Events yet to come will further explain this prophecy. Nothing has more hindered the success of the gospel than divisions. Let us study to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace; let us seek for Divine grace to keep us from detestable things; and let us pray that all nations may be obedient and happy subjects of the Son of David, that the Lord may be our God, and we may be his people for evermore.
