Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 36:35

"And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited." — Ezekiel 36:35 (ASV)

Like the garden of Eden.— This may be meant merely to describe the great excellence and prosperity of the land; but, in connection with what has been previously said, it seems rather to point forward to that state in which humanity will again be entirely freed from sin, which has been the state for which the Church in all ages has been preparing.
