From that day forward
This phrase signifies a pivotal moment in the history of Israel, marking a transition from past judgments to a future of restoration and divine favor. The Hebrew root for "day" (יוֹם, yom) often denotes not just a 24-hour period but an era or significant time. In the context of Ezekiel, this "day" represents the culmination of God's judgment against Israel's enemies and the beginning of a renewed relationship with His people. Historically, this points to a time when Israel will recognize God's sovereignty and experience His blessings continuously.

the house of Israel
This term refers to the collective people of Israel, God's chosen nation. In the Hebrew Bible, "house" (בַּיִת, bayit) can mean a physical dwelling or a family lineage. Here, it emphasizes the unity and identity of the Israelites as a covenant community. Throughout Scripture, Israel is depicted as God's special possession, and this verse reaffirms their unique role in His redemptive plan. The historical context involves the return from exile and the re-establishment of Israel as a nation under God's rule.

will know
The Hebrew word for "know" (יָדַע, yada) implies an intimate, experiential knowledge rather than mere intellectual understanding. This knowledge is relational, indicating that Israel will recognize and acknowledge God's presence and authority in a profound way. This is not just about awareness but about a deep, covenantal relationship with God, characterized by trust and obedience. Scripturally, this knowledge is often associated with the fulfillment of God's promises and the revelation of His character.

that I am the LORD
The phrase "I am the LORD" (אֲנִי יְהוָה, Ani Yahweh) is a declaration of God's identity and authority. "LORD" in all caps represents the divine name YHWH, which is considered sacred and signifies God's eternal, self-existent nature. This statement is a recurring theme in the prophetic books, emphasizing God's sovereignty and faithfulness. It serves as a reminder of His covenant with Israel and His ultimate control over history. Theologically, it underscores the monotheistic belief in one true God who is actively involved in the world.

their God
This phrase personalizes the relationship between God and Israel, highlighting the covenantal bond. The Hebrew word for "God" (אֱלֹהִים, Elohim) is a plural form used singularly, reflecting the majesty and fullness of God's nature. By declaring Himself as "their God," the LORD reaffirms His commitment to Israel as His chosen people. This relationship is central to the biblical narrative, where God consistently acts on behalf of His people, guiding, protecting, and providing for them. Historically, this assurance would have been a source of hope and encouragement for the Israelites, especially in times of exile and hardship.

(22) The house of Israel shall know.--The knowledge here spoken of is evidently practical, and is expressly declared to remain for ever. It can only be considered as realised, and that still but in germ, in the Christian Church.

Verse 22. - The house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day forward. What should convince them of this would be their triumph and deliverance through Gog's annihilation.
