Ezekiel was a prophet speaking to the Jewish exiles in Babylon during the 6th century BC, a time when Israel had been conquered and its land left in ruins due to their unfaithfulness to God. In Ezekiel 36, God promises restoration and renewal as part of His covenant faithfulness, assuring the people that after judgment, He would cleanse them and rebuild their devastated cities. This prophecy reflects the historical context of the Babylonian exile and the hope of return to the promised land.
