Ezekiel 36:8
““‘“But you, mountains of Israel, you shall shoot out your branches, and yield your fruit to my people Israel; for they are at hand to come.”
What does Ezekiel 36:8 mean?
God speaks here to the land itself, promising that Israel's mountains and soil will become fertile and productive again after a time of desolation. The prophet is reassuring the exiled Israelites that their homeland won't remain barren forever, but will flourish and welcome them home with abundance. This is God's way of saying that restoration isn't just a distant dream, but something that's actually coming—the people are nearly ready to return. For anyone who feels they're in a season of waiting or spiritual dryness, this verse offers the comfort that seasons of fruitfulness can follow seasons of loss.
