23 "I will vindicate the holiness of My great name which has been profaned among the nations , which you have profaned in their midst . Then the nations will know that I am the Lord ," declares the Lord GOD , "when I prove Myself holy among you in their sight .
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 36:23
Commentary on Ezekiel 36:16-24
(Read Ezekiel 36:16-24)
The restoration of that people, being typical of our redemption by Christ, shows that the end aimed at in our salvation is the glory of God. The sin of a people defiles their land; renders it abominable to God, and uncomfortable to themselves. God's holy name is his great name; his holiness is his greatness, nor does any thing else make a man truly great.
