What Does Ezekiel 36:10 Mean?
Multiplication of people and rebuilding of cities indicate a complete reversal of exile's effects. Where once populations were scattered and cities lay in ruins, now growth and reconstruction will fill the land. 'All the house of Israel' suggests nothing will be excluded from this restoration.
The phrase emphasizes comprehensiveness: every city will be inhabited, every waste place rebuilt. This is not a partial or gradual recovery but a sweeping transformation.
