In my burning zeal

Ezekiel 36:1-15
A prophecy to the mountains of Israel.
In my burning zeal I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom, for with glee and with malice in their hearts they made my land their own possession so that they might plunder its pastureland.
Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I swear with uplifted hand that the nations around you will also suffer scorn.
No longer will I make you hear the taunts of the nations, and no longer will you suffer the scorn of the peoples or cause your nation to fall, declares the Sovereign Lord.
God tells the desolate land it will soon be inhabited. His people are coming home. Israel's defeat has made people despise the God of Israel as powerless. Their return will vindicate his honor. The nations will know, and God's people will know, that he is the Lord.
Why?
In God's burning zeal, nations will know God is the sovereign Lord.
God promised that Israelite will return from nations to their homeland.
No longer will suffer the scorn of the peoples and nations, Israel will be God's people. under blessing of the Lord.
Christian is a honor name in the world. For God is my father, my shepherd and my Lord.
God has emotion and love and justice.
How?
God is my savior when we return to the Lord, God's grace and blessing more then this world can give.
