Ezekiel 36:9 - Exposition

I am for you . He had previously been against ( Ezekiel 5:8 ; Ezekiel 13:8 ), but was now for Israel and against Seir ( Ezekiel 35:3 ). This change of dispensation implied no mutation in God, but merely that, as God had previously visited Israel with judgment on account of sin, so henceforth would he visit her with grace on condition of repentance. I will turn unto you. Always it is presupposed that Israel turns unto Jehovah.
