What does God mean by 'time of love' in Ezekiel 16?

Answered in 1 source

'Time of love' signifies God's gracious act of redemption, marking His initiative to purify and beautify His people despite their wretchedness.

'Time of love' in Ezekiel 16 captures the essence of God's intervention at a moment when Israel was utterly fallen. It denotes a divine appointment where God, filled with compassion, gazes upon His people in their sin and declares His intention to restore and heal. This time is characterized by God’s active love, illustrated through acts of cleansing, covering, and covenant. God's love is not passive; it's an empowerment to transform. The phrase encapsulates the fullness of God's mercy, as He graciously revives spiritual deadness, showering us with His love, ultimately leading to our beauty in Christ.
