What Does Ezekiel 36:34 Mean?
The contrast is stark: land that lay barren and forsaken will again be tilled and cultivated. The word 'whereas' emphasizes the radical change. What once was a sign of curse and abandonment will become a sign of blessing and care.
The fact that this transformation happens 'in the sight of all that passed by' means it will be unmistakable testimony to God's restoration. The nations that passed by with scorn will witness the reversal.
