What Does Ezekiel 36:11 Mean?
The land will teem with both human and animal life, reversing the desolation. Restoration involves not just returning to the old estates but doing 'better than at your beginnings,' suggesting a future that exceeds even the glory of former days. The knowledge that results from this—'ye shall know that I am the LORD'—is the deep purpose.
Recognition of the Lord as the source of this abundance becomes experiential truth, not abstract doctrine. What has been done can only be attributed to divine power and faithfulness.
