What does Ezekiel 36:33-34 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Future cleansing from sin and restoration of the Jews to the land and restoration of the land to fruitfulness would all occur at the same time. This shows that the Jews" present occupation of the Promised Land does not fulfill these promises; they have not yet experienced God"s cleansing for their sins, which comes with regeneration (cf. Romans 11:26-27).
