Ezekiel 39:28
Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
Then shall they know that I am the Lord their God,....
See Gill on "Ezekiel 39:22";
which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen; for their sins and transgressions: and so the Targum adds,
"because they sinned before me:''
but I have gathered them into their own land; being now penitent for their sins, and believing in the Messiah: and so the Targum,
"and now, because they are converted, I have gathered them, &c.''
and have left none of them any more there; among the Heathen, or in the land of their enemies; everyone shall be returned to the land of Canaan, be they where they will, as when they came out of Egypt: and this is typical of the salvation of God's elect, or mystical Israel; not one of them shall be lost or perish, but all shall be brought to repentance: this again shows, that this prophecy did not respect the return of the Jews from the Babylonish captivity; since then many were left behind.
