It suggests a time when God's actions will be so evident that all peoples will recognize His sovereignty. This is reminiscent of other prophetic passages where God's power and holiness are demonstrated to the world, such as in <a href="/isaiah/52-10.htm">Isaiah 52:10</a> and <a href="/psalms/98-2.htm">Psalm 98:2-3</a>.<p><b>that I the LORD</b><br>The use of "I the LORD" emphasizes God's personal involvement and authority. It is a declaration of His identity as Yahweh, the covenant-keeping God of Israel. This phrase is a reminder of God's unique relationship with Israel and His ultimate authority over all creation, as seen throughout the Old Testament.<p><b>sanctify Israel</b><br>To sanctify means to set apart as holy. This indicates a divine action where God purifies and consecrates Israel, fulfilling His promises of restoration and holiness. This sanctification is a recurring theme in Ezekiel, where God promises to cleanse and renew His people (<a href="/ezekiel/36-25.htm">Ezekiel 36:25-27</a>).<p><b>when My sanctuary is among them</b><br>The sanctuary refers to the dwelling place of God, symbolizing His presence among His people. Historically, this was the tabernacle and later the temple in Jerusalem. The prophecy points to a future time when God's presence will be permanently established among His people, echoing the promise of a new covenant in <a href="/jeremiah/31-33.htm">Jeremiah 31:33</a>.<p><b>forever.’”</b><br>The term "forever" signifies an eternal promise, indicating the everlasting nature of God's covenant with Israel. This eternal aspect is seen in the prophetic vision of a new heaven and new earth in <a href="/revelation/21-3.htm">Revelation 21:3</a>, where God's dwelling is with humanity forever. It also points to the ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, who is the true temple and through whom God's presence is eternally with His people (<a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a>, <a href="/revelation/21-22.htm">Revelation 21:22</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant-keeping God of Israel, who reveals His holiness and sovereignty through His actions and presence.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, whom He has set apart for His purposes and through whom He reveals His glory to the nations.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_nations.htm">The Nations</a></b><br>Refers to the Gentile nations surrounding Israel, who will witness God's sanctification of Israel and His eternal presence among them.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/s/sanctuary.htm">Sanctuary</a></b><br>Represents God's dwelling place among His people, symbolizing His presence, holiness, and the restoration of His relationship with Israel.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet called by God to deliver messages of judgment and hope to the exiled Israelites during the Babylonian captivity.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_presence_as_a_sign_of_sanctification.htm">God's Presence as a Sign of Sanctification</a></b><br>God's presence among His people is a powerful testament to His sanctifying work.

They should recognize from his presence amongst his people, symbolized by the establishment in their midst of his sanctuary, that he had both the power and the will to sanctify them, by making them inwardly as well as outwardly holy; and, recognizing this, they would seek admittance to the congregation and fellowship of God's spiritual Israel. <p> <p> <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/37-28.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Then the nations</span><br /><span class="heb">הַגּוֹיִ֔ם</span> <span class="translit">(hag·gō·w·yim)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Noun -
