And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to your fathers.
You'll finally understand that I really am the LORD when I bring you back to Israel, the same land I promised your ancestors I'd give them.
Sometimes God's faithfulness becomes crystal clear only when his promises actually come through.
