Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 36:23

23 And I will sanctifie my great name which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them, and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD , saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

By clearing it up and removing the Objection that the Iews Sufferings and Sins among the Babylonians had raised.

They g[illegible: 1 letter]ve the Heathen occasion to think meanly, and contemptibly of me, but I will shew I am as Great as Good, in both infinite.

See ver. 20. let. p. and ver. 22. let. z.

God chargeth the Iews with the Blasphemies the Heathen cast on God, the Iews were the cause of them, and they are therefore justly imputed to the Iew.

By what I do, the Heathen shall know what I am, and from the great and good things I do for you, performing my Promises, and purifying you, shall see I am Great, Good, Faithful and Holy; then shall I be sanctifyed in you, as I have been profaned by you in their eyes; and so 'twas, Psal. 127.2.
