Ezekiel 36:8-12. But ye, O mountains of Israel, shall yield your fruit, &c.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 36:1-15

Restoration assured (36:1-15)With the removal of the people of Israel from their ancient homeland (both northern and southern kingdoms) certain neighbouring nations took the opportunity to seize Israel’s former territory for themselves (36:1-2). God comforts his people with the reminder that the land rightly belongs to him, and he will not tolerate the contempt of these enemies (3-5). He will now deal justly with those who despised his people (6-7).Having dealt with his enemies, God will bring... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 36:8

Ezekiel 36:8. For they are at hand to come— For these things are about to happen in a short time. "The time of the deliverance of my people approacheth." There can be no doubt that, though this prophesy may have an immediate reference to the return of the Jews from Babylon; yet it has a farther reference to the general return of the Israelites, and to the universal reign of the Messiah. See Calmet. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 36:8

8. they are at hand to come—that is, the Israelites are soon about to return to their land. This proves that the primary reference of the prophecy is to the return from Babylon, which was "at hand," or comparatively near.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 36:1-15

The establishment of Israel in the land 36:1-15This part of the prophecy of the preparation of the Promised Land sets forth what God would do for Israel.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 36:8-9

Ezekiel 36:8-15 contain four promises concerning the land. First, the land would become productive because the Israelites would soon come back into the land.
