How would the returning exiles do away with idolatry which had been practiced for centuries (Ezekiel 11:18-20)?
18 And when they come there, they will remove from it all its detestable things and all its abominations. 19 w And I will give them one heart, and a new spirit I will put within them. I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, 20 that they may walk in my statutes and keep my rules and obey them. And they shall be my people, and I will be their God. 21 But as for those whose heart goes after their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their deeds upon their own heads, declares the Lord God."
