Eze 39:27-28. When I have brought them again from the people —
According to my promises; and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands — Wherever they were scattered; and am sanctified in them — By their patiently accepting punishment, repenting of sin, loathing their former ways, and themselves on account of them, acknowledging me to be holy, just, and good, and dedicating themselves unreservedly to my service; when I am thus sanctified among them, and in the sight of the nations who shall see that the furnace has purified them; then shall they know — On the fullest experience and clearest evidence; that I am the Lord their God — And that I have never ceased to exercise a paternal care over them; and in all my chastisements of them, as well as my benefits conferred on them, have had their good in view: see notes on Eze 39:22, and Eze 34:30. Observe, reader, by the variety of events through which God brings us in the course of his providence, if we look up to him in them all, we shall become better acquainted, both with his divine perfections, and his various designs in all his dispensations toward us.

Daniel D. Whedon 1874 · Public Domain 27-29. When the new Israel shall be brought back…
27-29. When the new Israel shall be brought back from their captivity among the “peoples” (Eze_39:25; Eze_39:27), filled with the new spirit of shame for their past sins and with a joy in God’s presence which makes them forget their dismal past (Eze_39:26), and “shall dwell securely” in their own land, where none “shall make them afraid” (Eze_39:26, R.V.), and thus Jehovah shall have been sanctified in them (Eze_39:27; Eze_20:41; Eze_36:20; Eze_36:23-24) — then shall they know as never before “that I am the Lord their God, in that I caused them to go into captivity… and have gathered them… and will leave none of them,… neither will I hide my face [compare Eze_39:23; Isa_54:8]… for I have poured out my spirit.” (Compare Eze_36:25-31; Eze_37:14; Isa_59:21; Joe_2:28.) “No historical Church, Jewish or Gentile, has ever yet realized the picture here sketched by Ezekiel.… Will it ever be realized on earth? or must we only look for it in the heavenly city, whose Builder and Maker is God?” — Plumptre. If the conflict (chapter 38) is to be on this earth, as it surely will be, then the victory and the peace which follows must also be looked for here. The promise is to be fulfilled truly, though not literally. (See introduction chapter Ezekiel 40) It has already received a partial fulfillment (compare Joe_2:28; Act_2:17); yet the foes of the new Israel, the true children of Abraham (Luk_3:8; Joh_8:39; Gal_3:7; Gal_3:9; Gal_3:29), are still active, and Gog — the Old Testament “Antichrist” — if indeed he has yet put on his armor, has certainly not yet been left dead upon the field. It must always be borne in mind that it is not a literal conflict described in this chapter between men armed with bows and arrows who shall be killed by bolts of lightning, but a spiritual battle between God’s people and the powers of evil. Like Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress, it depicts figuratively that which is everlastingly true, and what may perhaps be often repeated in different individuals and in different ages.
