God is prophesying through Ezekiel to the priests of Israel, they were not taking care of his people, they were not feeding them their spiritual food as they were assigned to so as to cause them to search out other gods to serve so that they were scattered. But Jehovah God would send his shepherd, his Son, Christ Jesus to gather back his flock, his people, and Jesus would feed them their spiritual food and gather them back to God his Father. And God would conclude a covenant with his people through Jesus and they would no longer be bothered by famine or a lack of spiritual food, and they will become God's people and he would give them his blessing and they would become prosperous. This prophesy has a modern day fulfilment as well with true Christians.

It means that God will get rid of the false, corrupt leaders and free his ppl from them.
eg. if there is a church and they have a pastor who is flase, God will somehow, get rid of him as he is lining his own pockets and doing everything he does for himself and not doing God's will. He is destroying that specific Christian community (gods flock) so God will destroy him. Then the ppl will trust in God so that he may lead them He will take matters into His own hands.
I do believe that it also has a nother meaning. I think it is kinda a prophesy of what is to come. God will bring all His ppl together and rescue them from "the wild animals who attack them" (the evil worldy things) He will punish the untrue and reward the faithful, rightous and true. Jesus will come to earth to rule over the earth for Himself and not leave people to lead "His flock" any longer. (Revelations)

God is not happy with the spiritual leaders of the people. They have held all the "food" of God for themselves and turned their followersinto hungry shadows of what they should be spiritually. God will, therefore, lead His people Himself by sending a shepard who will take care of His people and make sure they are fed. It's a prophetic annoucement of God's intention to send His Son to lead those who love Him since the religious leaders are more interested in themselves than helping the people stay close to God.

He is promising to reinstall them to their own land and also prosper them. This is to the latter days.
The statement of the new heart is to coming to know the Lord Jesus.
Ezek 36:26 "Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
Ezek 36:27 "And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances.
The restoration of the Jews.
The end times.

i imagine, Jesus is retaining about holy persons right here. "once you're making both into one" - at the same time as heart and ideas centred in a unmarried prayer... "you'll develop into little ones of Adam" - Jesus is 2d Adam. One will develop into like a baby, yet with evolved information. little ones are so organic, they can forgive each thing. It does no longer recommend to be infantile. 'Mountain, bypass from right here!' that's going to bypass." "The heavens and the earth will roll up on your presence, - their prayer is so truthful that God enable the nature to obey. they're exhibiting by ability of this manner the potential of holy call of the Lord. "whoever is living from the living one received't see lack of life." - the finished existence is dedicated to the Lord, they do no longer note how body will develop into older, they do no longer afraid to die, understanding nicely that lack of life would not exist. "He who inebriated from my mouth will develop into like i'm, and that i visit develop into he." - To stay by ability of God's note, basically New testomony, Psalms, there he's training a thanks to enter the dominion of God - the solidarity with God. for sure then.. "And the hidden issues will be revealed to him" thanks for the question...

Thanks for sharing that with me. I am a non-denominational Christian who believes that the Lord is describing the state of many pastors and church leaders in this passage. But He will not leave us alone to fend for ourselves. This passage gives me the hope I need to continue in the faith.

.......they used to speak long ago (meaning that it was and still is a Law), saying: to receive an answer, ask at The House of Yahweh at Abilene; and that would settle a matter. - II Samuyl 20:18.
