THE MESSAGE
God 's Message came to me: "Son of man, when the people of Israel lived in their land, they polluted it by the way they lived. I poured out my anger on them because of the polluted blood they poured out on the ground. And so I got thoroughly angry with them polluting the country with their wanton murders and dirty gods. I kicked them out, exiled them to other countries. I sentenced them according to how they had lived. Wherever they went, they gave me a bad name. People said, ‘These are God 's people, but they got kicked off his land.' I suffered much pain over my holy reputation, which the people of Israel blackened in every country they entered.

Contextual Overview

¹⁶ The Lord spoke his word to me again, saying: ¹⁷ "Human, when the nation of Israel was living in their own land, they made it unclean by their ways and the things they did. Their ways were like a woman's uncleanness in her time of monthly bleeding. ¹⁸ So I poured out my anger against them, because they murdered in the land and because they made the land unclean with their idols. ¹⁹ I scattered them among the nations, and they were spread through the countries. I punished them for how they lived and what they did. ²⁰ They dishonored my holy name in the nations where they went. The nations said about them, ‘These are the people of the Lord , but they had to leave the land which he gave them.' ²¹ But I had concern for my holy name, which the nation of Israel had dishonored among the nations where they went. ²² "So say to the people of Israel, ‘This is what the Lord God says: Israel, I am going to act, but not for your sake. I will do something to help my holy name, which you have dishonored among the nations where you went. ²³ I will prove the holiness of my great name, which has been dishonored among the nations. You have dishonored it among these nations, but the nations will know that I am the Lord when I prove myself holy before their eyes, says the Lord God . ²⁴ "‘I will take you from the nations and gather you out of all the lands and bring you back into your own land.

Ezekiel 36:20

They profaned my holy name - Caused it to be dishonored by the pagan who said in scorn, “This is the people of God.” The pagan, seeing the miserable state of the exiles, fancied that Yahweh was no more than a national god, powerless to protect his subjects.
