Ezekiel 39:21-29

“I will reveal my glory to the nations. They will witness the way I judge Gog and the display of my power when I punish Gog and his great army. The people of Israel will know that I am YAHWEH their God from that day forward and forever. The nations will also realize that the people of Israel went into captivity because of their guilt, for they were unfaithful to me. So, I hid my face from them and gave them over to the power of their enemies, whereby they were all killed in war. I treated them as their despicable deeds of infidelity deserved and hid my face from them.” So, Lord YAHWEH says this: “Now I will be merciful and bring Jacob’s captives back and show pity on all the people of Israel. I will be zealous to not let them dishonor my holy name. They will forget their shame and all their acts of unfaithfulness that they committed against me when they were living safely in their own land with none to make them afraid. When I have brought them back from the lands of their enemies, many nations will see the display of my holiness. And they will know that I am YAHWEH, the God of Israel. Yes, I sent them into exile among the nations, but I will then reunite them in their own land, not leaving a single one behind. I will pour out my Spirit on the people of Israel, and my divine presence will never again leave them. I, Lord YAHWEH, have spoken.”
