My Hi-lite:   Ezekiel 11:14  Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
15 Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the LORD: unto us is this land given in possession.
16  Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.
17  Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
18  And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
19  And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
20  That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
21  But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD

  Ezekiel 11:14 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

[15] Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the LORD: unto us is this land given in possession.

Those "inhabitants" who have taken over the land as their possession, aren't all of the house of Israel. The kenites had mixed in among Judah and defiled the land. It is no wonder the tribes were scattered.

But all is not hopeless, for our Father will not allow the abominations, nor the chief "abominator" to continue for much longer. The New Covenant was promised and ushered in to the exiles, and to the gentiles, and the restoration of all things has been promised. Therefore it WILL come to pass.

Exekiel 11:16
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.
You must come out from among the heathen, from "religion", and He will be your sanctuary.
[17] Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
Yes, though they been gathered into the nations of true Israel, the largest being from sea to shining sea, and given the national blessings promised to Abraham's descendants, the promise of the final restoration is yet to be fulfilled.
[18] And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
All false worship and idolatry as well as the "great abomination", who is antichrist, will be taken away. Gone!
[19] And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
Don't you just love the King James Bible? The second half of this verse sounds so "fleshy", like surgery or something. Our Father is simply saying He will change their "hard heartedness" to a loving "tender heart".
[20] That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
The final restoration is coming, the time to which we all look forward, when only the "Doers" of His Word will be here, and our Father will dwell with them forever more.
Ezekiel 11:21
But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.
Everyone gets "just" compensation, for the Lord GOD is completely just and fair. You make your bed and you sleep in it. Just watch who you are crawling in bed with. Don't lose your virginity to someone who you "think" is your husband because the lights are turned off and you walk in darkness. Open His Word and turn on the light of truth, especially when you hear, "Come to me, honey!"

To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits; to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you accomplish both.
