Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Ezekiel 36:28

Ye shall dwell in the land. — The Israelites were not yet able to seek the spiritual, except as con. nected with the temporal blessing; and, indeed, the temporal was, in the ordering of Providence, a necessary means to the spiritual. Therefore the promise of earthly restoration must yet be made, and must in due time be literally fulfilled.
