All of Israel’s neighbors, near and far, saw what happened within her borders. They knew the uniqueness of Israel, and that her God was Yahweh. They also witnessed Israel’s sins and God’s punishment upon the nation for their sins. Likewise, those nations would see the Lord restoring Israel to her land,

“I will set My glory among the nations; all the nations shall see My judgment which I have executed, and My hand which I have laid on them. So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day forward. The Gentiles shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they were unfaithful to Me, therefore I hid My face from them. I gave them into the hand of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword. According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I have dealt with them, and hidden My face from them” (Ezekiel 39.21–24). 

What the Lord does with the church, the world also sees. The world sees how the church conducts itself. The world sees how individual Christians act. What do they see in you?
