  1. Mountain v. mountains<\/em>. In the previous chapter, we read the catastrophic prophecy regarding the mountains of Edom. The redemption of the mountains of Israel is not only a mirror image, it is also the concrete answer to the words of the Edomites, which, if you read the previous chapter, you will see them here in the words of the enemies.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Manifestation of the end of days<\/em>. When the land of Israel gives of its fruit generously, that\u2019s a sign of redemption. At least that\u2019s what Rabbi Abba says, basing himself on verse 8: \u201cAnd Rabbi Abba says: You have no more explicit manifestation of the end of days than this following phenomenon, as it is stated: \u201cBut you, mountains of Israel, you shall give your branches, and yield your fruit to My people of Israel, for they will soon be coming\u201d (Ezekiel 36:8). When produce will grow in abundance in Eretz Yisrael, it is an indication that the Messiah will be coming soon\u201d (Talmud Sanhedrin 98a).<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. A land that devours its inhabitants<\/em>? Not any more! See verses 13-14.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Regards from chapter 20<\/em>. In chapter 20, we encountered a prophecy similar to that in verses 16-36. There too the return from the exile was for the \u201csake of the name of the LORD,\u201d but there is a big difference. Look for it <\/span>in chapter 20<\/span><\/a>, starting at verse 34.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. A very priestly image<\/em>. Only a cohen<\/em>, a priest, such as Ezekiel would imagine the blessed multitudes of a restored Israel, as sheep who are destined for sacrifice in the Temple, which filled Jerusalem at the height of its glory, on holy days.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","image":{"ID":86314,"id":86314,"title":"Points to
