"For I will take you from among the nations, and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land." — Ezekiel 36:24 (ASV)
For I will take you from among the Heathen The Chaldeans and other nations, among whom they were carried captive; and the Papists, among whom many of them now are, often called Heathens and Gentiles in Scripture: this will be fully completed at the time of the Jews' conversion in the latter day: the phrase fitly expresses the act of divine grace, in taking his people from among the world by the effectual calling.
and gather you out of all countries to himself, and to his Son, and to his church, and to some certain place from where they will go up in a body to their own land, as follows: see (Hosea 1:11).
and will bring you into your own land into the land of Canaan literally understood, as well as into the church of God here, and into the heavenly country hereafter, of which Canaan was a type.
