Ezekiel 39:23-29
23. hid I my face--(De 31:17; Is 59:2). 25. bring again the captivity--restore from calamity to prosperity. the whole house of Israel--so "all Israel" (Ro 11:26). The restorations of Israel heretofore have been partial; there must be one yet future that is to be universal (Ho 1:11). 26. After that they have borne their shame--the punishment of their sin: after they have become sensible of their guilt, and ashamed of it (Eze 20:43; 36:31). 27. sanctified in them--vindicated as holy in My dealings with them. 28. The Jews, having no dominion, settled country, or fixed property to detain them, may return at any time without difficulty (compare Ho 3:4, 5). 29. poured out my Spirit upon ... Israel--the sure forerunner of their conversion (Joe 2:28; Zec 12:10). The pouring out of His Spirit is a pledge that He will hide His face no more (2Co 1:22; Ep 1:14; Php 1:6).
