Charles Spurgeon Commentary Ezekiel 36:38

"As the flock for sacrifice, as the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men; and they shall know that I am Jehovah." — Ezekiel 36:38 (ASV)

So shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

The result of all this wondrous mercy was to be, that they were to be ashamed of their former sins, and loathe their past iniquities, and so know the Lord as to turn from their evil ways, and live unto him.

As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts;

When a great number of lambs would be brought up to Jerusalem for the people to keep the Passover with, it was a great and countless company. Oh! that such additions may be given to the Church!

As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

And that is the great end of it all – to make men know that the I AM is – that the true and real God is still potent among the sons of men and does his will both here and among the armies of heaven.

To his name be glory for ever and ever.
