Eze 36:24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
Eze 36:25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
Eze 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.
Eze 36:27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
Eze 36:28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
Eze 36:29 I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.
Eze 36:30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.
Eze 36:31 Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
Eze 36:32 Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.
Eze 36:33 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be built.
Eze 36:34 And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by.
Eze 36:35 And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.
Eze 36:36 Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it.
Eze 36:37 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock.
Eze 36:38 As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

I’m far from having the opinions of replacement theology, but as I read these verses prophesied to Israel, they speak to me as a gentile. Just as much of the old testament has types of many different sort, I see verses like these having a dual prophesy. As I was brought to Christ, I have been brought back to the land. I’ve had clean water sprinkled on me and been cleaned from all my filthiness, the spirit has been put in me. A stony heart has been removed from me. The desolate places of my life from being absent from the Lord are now a watered garden. It's now a fruitful land. God has taken ruin out of my life and turned it around for his glory. To me these verses speak of a person coming to Christ or a backslider and prodigal returning to the Lord just as much as the literal prophesy that it is towards Israel.
It’s my opinion that to take verses like the above and only apply them to Israel, and not to the church also, is just as much error as thinking they only apply to the church and not Israel. It is also my opinion that the whole written word of God is for me for today though I might not know how it is applying to me at the time. If I can read the written word with the understanding that God is speaking to me through the written word as I read it, even though it might not make sense at the time to me, that I can have revelation that only comes from seeking the answer to what God is now saying to me through that word that I’m reading. For me to take verses like the above and think that they are only for Israel and not the church too, would cause me to miss much of God’s revelation.
