Ezekiel 39:21-29
“I will display my glory among the nations, and all the nations will see the punishment I inflict and the hand I lay on them. From that day forward the people of Israel will know that I am the Lord their God. And the nations will know that the people of Israel went into exile for their sin, because they were unfaithful to me. So I hid my face from them and handed them over to their enemies, and they all fell by the sword. I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and their offenses, and I hid my face from them.
Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will now restore the fortunes of Jacob and will have compassion on all the people of Israel, and I will be zealous for my holy name. They will forget their shame and all the unfaithfulness they showed toward me when they lived in safety in their land with no one to make them afraid. When I have brought them back from the nations and have gathered them from the countries of their enemies, I will be proved holy through them in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord their God, for though I sent them into exile among the nations, I will gather them to their own land, not leaving any behind. I will no longer hide my face from them, for I will pour out my Spirit on the people of Israel, declares the Sovereign Lord.
Why?
Because the Lord is zealous for God's holy name, the Lord restored the fortunes of Jacob and had compassion on all the people of Israel.
People of Israel will exiled to other countries because of their sins, other countries is tool of the Lord to punish God's people. other nations are not better or righteous than the people of Israel.
How?
Everyone should be aware we are sinners, without the love of the Lord, all of us will perish. Thanks the Lord for showing his mercy and love to me!
