For His Name's Sake
Ezekiel 36:22
When God restores Israel, the motive is not compassion for the people but jealousy for his own name. Ezekiel 36:22 states this bluntly, and the same construction — 'for the sake of my name' — runs through more than 30 verses across a dozen books in the Hebrew Bible alone, with further echoes in the New Testament of the canon.
