Context — Israel to Be Restored
20And at My table you will eat your fill of horses and riders, of mighty men and warriors of every kind,’ declares the Lord GOD.
21I will display My glory among the nations, and all the nations will see the judgment that I execute and the hand that I lay upon them.
22From that day forward the house of Israel will know that I am the LORD their God.
23And the nations will know that the house of Israel went into exile for their iniquity, because they were unfaithful to Me. So I hid My face from them and delivered them into the hands of their enemies, so that they all fell by the sword. 24I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and transgressions, and I hid My face from them.Cross References

Ezekiel 39:22 Summary
[This verse means that the people of Israel will finally understand and recognize God as their Lord and Savior, and this knowledge will come from seeing God's power and glory at work in their lives. This is similar to what the Bible says in Jeremiah 31:34, where it says that God will put His law in their minds and write it on their hearts. As we reflect on this verse, we can ask ourselves what it means to 'know' God in our own lives, and how we can deepen our relationship with Him, as described in John 17:3 and Philippians 3:10.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for the house of Israel to 'know' that God is their Lord?
This means that the people of Israel will have a deep understanding and recognition of God's presence and authority in their lives, much like the knowledge of God described in Jeremiah 31:34 and Hosea 6:3.
How will the house of Israel come to this realization?
The house of Israel will come to know God as their Lord through the judgment and redemption described in the surrounding verses, such as Ezekiel 39:20-21, where God displays His glory among the nations and executes judgment.
Is this knowledge of God limited to the house of Israel?
No, according to Ezekiel 39:21 and 23, the nations will also come to know God's glory and judgment, and understand why the house of Israel was exiled, as seen in Deuteronomy 29:24-28.
What is the significance of this verse in the larger context of Ezekiel's prophecy?
This verse marks a turning point in the prophecy, where God's judgment gives way to redemption and restoration, as seen in Ezekiel 37:21-28, where God promises to restore Israel and give them a new heart.
Reflection Questions
- What does it mean for me to 'know' God as my Lord, and how can I deepen this knowledge in my own life?
- How have I seen God's glory and judgment at work in my life or in the world around me, and what have I learned from these experiences?
- What are some ways that I can reflect God's glory and character to those around me, as described in Matthew 5:16 and 1 Peter 2:12?
- How can I balance the knowledge of God's judgment with the knowledge of His love and mercy, as seen in Psalm 103:8-14 and Romans 11:22?
Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 39:22
So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God,.... That has chosen them, redeemed them, called them, manifested his covenant love and grace to them, and protected and defended them:
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 39:22
So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward. So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord - by my interposition for them.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 39:22
Shall know that I am the Lord: see . From that day, from the day of Gog’ s signal destruction, forward, while time shall be.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 39:22
Ezekiel 39:22 So the house of Israel shall know that I [am] the LORD their God from that day and forward.Ver. 22. From that day and forward.] Their experience shall breed confidence.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 39:22
(22) The house of Israel shall know.—The knowledge here spoken of is evidently practical, and is expressly declared to remain for ever. It can only be considered as realised, and that still but in germ, in the Christian Church.
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 39:22
22. And Israel from that day will feel secure in the protection of Jehovah their God; all misgivings which the past might create will disappear, and they shall know that now Jehovah is indeed their God.
