יחזקאל, פרק ל״ט, פסוק כ״ב

Following monumental events, a profound shift in consciousness takes place among the people, making their recognition of divine providence absolute and permanent. This awareness is not merely an intellectual understanding, but the practical revelation of an unbreakable bond. The realization that God is their God represents a spiritual elevation where the Israelites perfect their faith and permanently stop straying after foreign beliefs [אברבנאל]. This deep recognition stems directly from experiencing God's miraculous and direct care over them [מלבי״ם]. They clearly understand that He is the one who saves them from their enemies and provides them with His complete protection [מצודת דוד, ביאור שטיינזלץ].

This complete transformation in both spiritual devotion and physical security takes effect from that specific time onward [מצודת ציון]. It serves as an eternal promise. From that moment forward, God will never again abandon the Israelites to the power of other nations. Because of this unending protection, their absolute certainty that He is their God will remain firmly established forever [מצודת דוד].
