The context is God's promise of restoration and renewal for Israel, following their exile due to disobedience. The act of remembering is significant in biblical terms, often associated with repentance and a turning back to God (e.g., <a href="/psalms/77-11.htm">Psalm 77:11</a>). The "evil ways and wicked deeds" refer to the idolatry and rebellion against God's commandments, which led to their judgment and exile (<a href="/2_kings/17-7.htm">2 Kings 17:7-23</a>). This remembrance is not merely intellectual but involves a deep, heartfelt acknowledgment of sin.<p><b>and you will loathe yourselves for your iniquities and abominations</b><br>The loathing of oneself for past sins signifies a profound level of repentance and contrition. In the Hebrew culture, this self-loathing is an expression of genuine remorse and a desire for purification (<a href="/job/42-6.htm">Job 42:6</a>). The terms "iniquities" and "abominations" highlight the severity of their sins, often associated with idolatry and practices detestable to God (<a href="/leviticus/18-26.htm">Leviticus 18:26-30</a>). This self-loathing is a necessary step towards spiritual renewal and aligns with the prophetic theme of a new heart and spirit, as seen earlier in <a href="/ezekiel/36-26.htm">Ezekiel 36:26-27</a>. It also foreshadows the New Testament call to repentance and transformation through Christ (<a href="/2_corinthians/7-10.htm">2 Corinthians 7:10</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet during the Babylonian exile, Ezekiel conveyed God's messages to the Israelites, calling them to repentance and promising restoration.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The people of Israel, who were in exile due to their disobedience and idolatry, are the primary audience of Ezekiel's prophecies.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/b/babylonian_exile.htm">Babylonian Exile</a></b><br>A significant period in Israel's history when the Israelites were taken captive by Babylon, serving as a backdrop for Ezekiel's prophecies.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/g/god's_promise_of_restoration.htm">God's Promise of Restoration</a></b><br>In <a href="/bsb/ezekiel/36.htm">Ezekiel 36</a>, God promises to restore Israel, cleanse them from their impurities, and give them a new heart and spirit.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/r/repentance_and_self-loathing.htm">Repentance and Self-Loathing</a></b><br>The emotional and spiritual response God desires from the Israelites as they recognize their past sins and turn back to Him.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_necessity_of_repentance.htm">The Necessity of Repentance</a></b><br>True repentance involves recognizing and turning away from sin, as seen in the Israelites' self-loathing for their iniquities.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_transformative_power.htm">God's Transformative Power</a></b><br>God promises to cleanse and renew His people, emphasizing His ability to transform hearts and lives.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/self-reflection_and_humility.htm">Self-Reflection and Humility</a></b><br>Believers are called to examine their lives, acknowledge their sins, and approach God with humility and contrition.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_memory_in_repentance.htm">The Role of Memory in Repentance</a></b><br>Remembering past sins can lead to genuine repentance and a deeper appreciation of God's grace and mercy.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_hope_of_restoration.htm">The Hope of Restoration</a></b><br>Despite past failures, God's promise of restoration offers hope and encouragement for a renewed relationship with Him.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_ezekiel_36.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Ezekiel 36</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_does_ezekiel_9_align_with_mercy.htm">How does the judgment in Ezekiel 9 align with other biblical passages emphasizing mercy and forgiveness?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_did_god_delay_judging_child_sacrifice.htm">Jeremiah 19:4-5 -- If God commands against child sacrifice elsewhere, why would He allow His own people to practice it for so long without immediate judgment?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_does_god's_love_align_with_ot_punishments.htm">Psalm 86:5 - How can a God said to be 'abounding in steadfast love' align with the severity of punishments described elsewhere in the Old Testament?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/ezekiel_18_24_vs._secure_salvation.htm">Ezekiel 18:24 - If a righteous person can lose all previous righteousness by turning away, how does this align with other Bible passages that suggest salvation or favor is more secure?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/ezekiel/36.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(31) <span class= "bld">Shall lothe yourselves.--</span>Comp.
