“‘Thus says the Lord God: “On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will also enable you to dwell in the cities, and the ruins shall be rebuilt. The desolate land shall be tilled instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass by. So they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the wasted, desolate, and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.’” Ezekiel 36:33-35
“On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities…” refers to the day that we, the Jewish people, and anyone else reconciles to God through Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin. After we acknowledge our belief in Him, then God will “…enable (us) to dwell in the cities, and the ruins shall be rebuilt.” Jesus Christ has eternal life prepared for us in the new heaven and earth after this present heaven and earth are destroyed and turned into ruins. We will live in the eternal city of the New Jerusalem, the eternal Garden of Eden. While on this earth, the sin-plagued ruins of our spirit and soul are rebuilt through the Holy Spirit. We live in the city of the Kingdom of God that is within us, “Now when (Jesus) was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.” Luke 17:20-21
I don’t know what Kingdom of God the Jewish people are waiting for, but the State of Israel is not anything like the Garden of Eden, nor is any place on this earth. The Kingdom of God exist within us through the Holy Spirit as we believe in Jesus Christ, then in the life beyond the grave, we enter the eternal New Jerusalem. We have life in the eternal Garden of Eden. The Holy Spirit in us is our guarantee of inheriting eternal life beyond the grave Ephesians 1:13-14.
The soul once desolate of Jesus Christ will be tilled, planted with the seed of the Holy Spirit, and will blossom with the fruit of the Spirit when we believe in Him. We will be a testimony to all who see the transformation of our spirit, words, behaviors, and feelings as we sing out, Amazing grace! How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see.
“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’
I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
