Ezekiel 34:26-27

[26] And I will make  them and the places round about  my hill  a blessing;  and I will cause the shower  to come down  in his season;  there shall be showers  of blessing.  [27] And the tree  of the field  shall yield  her fruit,  and the earth  shall yield  her increase,  and they shall be safe  in their land,  and shall know  that I am the LORD,  when I have broken  the bands  of their yoke,  and delivered  them out of the hand  of those that served  themselves of them.

What does Ezekiel 34:26-27 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Second, God would make His people and the places around His hill (Mount Zion, Jerusalem) a blessing to others ( Genesis 12:3). God"s seasonal blessings on Israel, both people and land, would be like the rain, and He would send His blessings down in showers (cf. Acts 3:19-20). The gospel song "There Shall Be Showers of Blessing" comes from this expression. Fruit trees would bear abundantly, and fruits and vegetables and flowers would proliferate in the land (cf. Hosea 2:22; Joel 3:18; Amos 9:13-14; Zechariah 8:12). Even the plants would be secure.
