Connect Ezekiel 36:36 with other Scriptures about God's faithfulness to His people. Rebuilt and Replanted: Ezekiel 36:36 “Then the nations that remain around you will know that I, the LORD, have rebuilt what was demolished and have replanted what was desolate. I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will do it.” Faithfulness Woven Through the Law • Numbers 23:19 — “Does He speak and not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?” • Deuteronomy 7:9 — “Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps His covenant … for a thousand generations.” • Joshua 23:14 — “Not one of all the good promises the LORD your God gave you has failed; every promise has been fulfilled for you.” Echoes in the Prophets • Isaiah 55:11 — “My word … will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please.” • Jeremiah 31:35-36 — Only if the sun, moon, and stars vanish would Israel cease to be a nation before Him. • Jeremiah 32:42 — “Just as I have brought all this great calamity … so I will give them all the prosperity I have promised them.” • Psalm 89:34 — “I will not violate My covenant or alter the utterance of My lips.” Mercy in the Midst of Judgment • Lamentations 3:22-23 — “His mercies never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness!” • Ezekiel 36 sits in exile, yet God pledges to rebuild ruined cities and make the land “like the garden of Eden” (36:33-35). Covenant Confirmed in Christ • 1 Corinthians 1:9 — “God … is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with His Son.” • 2 Corinthians 1:20 — “All the promises of God are ‘Yes’ in Christ.” • Romans 11:29 — “God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable,” assuring Israel’s future restoration and the believer’s security. The Ongoing Work of Faithfulness • Philippians 1:6 — He will finish what He started. • Hebrews 10:23 — “He who promised is faithful.” • 1 Thessalonians 5:24 — “The One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it.” • 2 Timothy 2:13 — “If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.” Living in the Light of His Faithfulness • Rest in His unchanging character: the same God who spoke in Ezekiel continues to keep His word today. • Recall His track record: from the Exodus to the return from exile, every detail unfolded exactly as promised. • Rejoice in Christ, the living “Amen” (Revelation 3:14) who guarantees every covenant blessing. • Reflect His faithfulness: let rebuilt lives and replanted hope point the nations to the Lord who always does what He says. |
