God is preparing the land for you

8 But you, O mountains of Israel, shall shoot out your branches, and yield your fruit to my people Israel; for they shall soon come home. 9 See now, I am for you; I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown; Ezekiel 36:8‭-‬9

Greeting friends!

I’m more excited than usual about the word today. In Ezekiel chapter 36, the Lord instructed Ezekiel to prophesy to the mountains of Israel. Since the Israelites were captured and taken away the land had become empty. The close-by enemies of Israel began to taunt Israel saying that the land was theirs. They mocked and jeered and threatened to take over. The mountains and land became the object of gossip, plunder and slander.

The land was plundered and so God gave Ezekiel a prophesy. The people who mocked and insulted the land will face similar insults by the hand of God. The nations and people that desecrated the lands will themselves become desecrated. Not only will the Lord deal with the enemies of the land, but He will also restore the land. The land shall shoot forth branches and yield fruits to the people for they are coming home soon. The land shall be tilled and sown like a farmer preparing the land.

Hear the word of the Lord, you have been mocked, jeered and laughed at. What you put your hand to failed and as a result you became the object of gossip and slander. Even what you had was taken away from you. I don’t know if what happened to you was as a result of punishment or a lesson, but a time of restoration is coming. God has started this restoration with the land and the mountains. God has started this restoration by putting in place the things needed for your success. God has begun to tilled the soil, because branches are going to shoot again and those who mocked you and slander you will be put to shame. This prophesy is not for everyone, because some have to go through the wilderness experience, but for those who have gone through the wilderness, the Lord is preparing the land for your restoration.

Be encouraged because God is preparing the land for your restoration.

Amen!
