A Known Name, A Gathered People, A Poured-Out Spirit
In the closing verses of Ezekiel 39, we are given a window not merely into Israel’s return from exile, but into the final reconciliation still to come — a day when God’s glory will no longer be hidden, His Spirit no longer withheld, and His name no longer misunderstood. “I will not hide My face from them any longer,” He says, “for I will have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel.” This is not a footnote to history. It is the crescendo of redemption.
The nations will know, Israel will know, and the Church must know: God is not finished with His people. The same mercy that gathers the scattered and pours out the Spirit will soon fill the earth with the knowledge of His glory. Let us be found watching, longing, and ready.
