Ezekiel 6: They Will Know God

God told Ezekiel to set his face toward the mountains of Israel and prophesy to them. The people had built high places and altars for idols on the hills and under green trees. God said these idols and altars would be broken. Yet he would leave a remnant among the nations. Those who escaped would remember God and how their hearts had turned away from him, and they would be sorry for the evil they had done. Again and again the chapter says the people would know that he is Yahweh.
