John Gill Commentary Ezekiel 11:18

"And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence." — Ezekiel 11:18 (ASV)

And they shall come there That those of the captivity shall come to the land of Israel, they or their posterity: and they shall take away all the detestable things of it; the idols of the nations, that had been there introduced, detestable to God and all good men: and all the abominations of it from thence; idols, as before, even all of them, so that idolatry should be wholly rooted out; this had its accomplishment under Zerubbabel, Ezra, Haggai when the worship of God was restored, and there was a reformation of many abuses in religion; and again in the times of the Maccabees; and will have a greater fulfilment at the time of the conversion of the Jews; when everything that is detestable and abominable among that people will be removed; of which conversion the following words are a prophecy.
