I have an idea. Instead of saying it can't be past because it doesn't fit YOUR theology, how about explaining why God said it was in the past and you say it's in the future. I'm all ears, if you can give a good reason (other than it doesn't fit your view) for why the past is future then I'll consider it.
I gave you an example of how there is both a literal land of Canaan and a heavenly version of the land. Is the past a heavenly version of the future in your view?

How about this
instead of you saying it is past to fit your theology
why can’t you take the whole passage to make sure it fits what you think, and make sure it all fit
it is past in context, to when God returns them to the land and then does what he said he would do,
I find it amazing you want me to believe it is past yet can. It explain to me when in the past any of the things took place?
it does not fit babylon, so it can not be Babylon. You wanting it to be so will not make it so if it is not true

Ah, but you did say it is past
the Bible just says at the time the event happened, something happened befor
ie, when God removes Israel’s sin,and restores the, they had in the past been scattered
once again there was not scattering in babylon
you want me to see past, but you refuse to show me where everything happened
you have to do both.
alot of prophecy spoke of future events from the time it was written,yet spoke of it in the past.
context is your enemy

How can I offer anything to someone who right from the starts says exactly the opposite of what the bible says. If you don't believe those verses for what they say, why would I expect you to believe any of the rest? You're not interested in discussing the bible, you're interested in talking about you beliefs... I'm not interested in that.

Let’s see
1. show me where all those things took place
2. show me when they took place
3. show me how they took place
there were many things the passage said that took place.
so in context, IF YOUR RIGHT, all those things would be easily proven to have taken place
you have not shown me where 1 Has
in the mean time, I have shown you how they COULD not have taken place. To counter you view of when the one item supposedly took place.
yet you say I am the one who does not listen to God
if I was you and I could not explain in detail how and when everything I the passage took place. I would hope I would take pause, and look to try to explain why I could not
but hey man, that’s on you

Let’s look at the sequence of events
1. Israel is scattered
2. Is gathered
3. God cleanses them from their sin, and restores them where they repent and confess and their sin is no more
4. they are put back in the land and the land is restored and the cities REBUILT
no matter how your timeline does not fit
if a glob was the scattering the cities were rebuilt before they were cleansed, and they never stopped their sin (hence why 70 AD happened

Ezekiel 36: 24 For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land. 25 Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.
The Jews were in the Babylonian diaspora. God brought them back into their own land. Jesus came and paid for everybody's sins and they were cleansed and their stony heart was replaced with a heart of flesh and they were filled with the Holy Ghost.
How is impossible that this hasn't already happened?

you Can’t have 2 possible things have been fulfilled then claim the whole things is true
you named 2 possibilities
the rest do not fit
you seem to admit he is talking to Israel by using babylon as a reference.
then claim the restoration which would come AFTER their sins were washed, (you continue to leave out the rest of the passage) does not refer to them (what do you call them God haters?)
either way, what God promised would happen after never happened, if anything, Israel sinned more, they crucified Christ then persecuted the church until 70 ad
that is not what the prophet said would happen

Red x all you want,
if you take the whole passage, that is the way it is supposed to go
Ezekiel 36 in order
For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land.
according to you babylon
according to me rome
25 Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.
then God will sprinkle clean water and make them (Israel,clean) he will cause them to shun their idols and take the heart of stone out,and he will cause them to walk in his ways
according to you the cross
according to me made possible by the cross, but this event has not taken place yet
next
28 Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God. 29 I will deliver you from all your uncleannesses. I will call for the grain and multiply it, and bring no famine upon you. 30 And I will multiply the fruit of your trees and the increase of your fields, so that you need never again bear the reproach of famine among the nations. 31 Then you will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good; and you will [e]loathe yourselves in your own sight, for your iniquities and your abominations. 32 Not for your sake do I do this,” says the Lord God, “let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel!”
then they will repent, and be returned to their own land, and God will make them fruitful again.
according to you? When did this happen
according to me, has not happened yet, no event in history fits these statement
then next in the timeline
33 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will also enable you to dwell in the cities, and the ruins shall be rebuilt. 34 The desolate land shall be tilled instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass by. 35 So they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the wasted, desolate, and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.’ 36 Then the nations which are left all around you shall know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted what was desolate. I, the Lord, have spoken it, and I will do it.”
on the DAY all of these things take place. These things will happen, the cities rebuilt, the land returned to the land of milk and honey, and the gentiles wonder in aww..
according to you.. new jerusalem I guess?
according to me, not yet happened, no even in history has this taken place. and if this day was the cross, then these things never took place.
sorry, again red x all you want, your interpretation does not fit,

like I said, you refuse to discuss scripture (all of it when it comes to a passage) and you will resort to stuff like this when you are backed into a corner and can not answer
news flash, paul said all Israel will be saved
the passage in question says they as a nation will be saved
the other passages you also refuse to discuss say it also
its YOUR VIEW they will not be saved, but as you say your to far out in left field to see the Bible says othwrwise
sorry , when you can’t even discuss what a passage of scripture says, don’t expect me to listen to you when you claim something else the Bible says what you are saying is not true

Jesus himself said during the great tribulation time of jacobs trouble, whoever of his people endure to the end will be saved,
when Christ returns, the only people left on earth will be saved people, all Jews alive will be saved, all gentiles alive will be saved.
you want to see if from an anti Jewish point of view, so you can’t see The Whole picture
its not just all Israel who will be saved, at that time all people left will have been saved,
