What Does Ezekiel 39:22 Mean?
The climax of the prophecy brings assurance to Israel. They will know—not believe or hope, but know with certainty—that God is truly their God. The phrase 'from that day and forward' marks a turning point: after the judgment, Israel's knowledge of God becomes unshakeable.
This knowledge comes through experience. Israel will have witnessed God's power on their behalf, His faithfulness after exile, His care for His covenant people. The knowing is relational: God is not merely 'the Lord' but 'their God'—in covenant relationship with Israel.
