Ezekiel 28:25-26

D. Israel’s restoration from the nations 28:25-26

As in numerous other prophetic Scriptures, promises of Israel’s restoration accompanied predictions of judgment on the nations (e.g. 34:27; 38:8; 39:26; Isaiah 65:21; Jeremiah 23:6; Amos 9:14-15).

"The words of hope inserted in 28:24-26 function as a fulcrum, dividing Ezekiel’s oracles against foreign nations into two sensitively balanced halves, virtually identical in length . . ." [Note: Block, The Book . . . 48, p. 4.]
