ezekiel 25: other nations will realize that YHWH is God

In Ezekiel 25 we read many prophecies against the surrounding nations of Israel/Judah: Ammon, Moab, Edom and Philistia. These nations were against Israel. They were glad when the Sanctuary of YHWH was desecrated, Israel were taken to exile, despised Israel, etc. The Lord saw this, as a sin to be punished. As an example of a gentile nation, we read:

15-17 “God, the Master, says: Because the Philistines were so spitefully vengeful—all those centuries of stored-up malice!—and did their best to destroy Judah, therefore I, God, the Master, will oppose the Philistines and cut down the Cretans and anybody else left along the seacoast. Huge acts of vengeance, massive punishments! When I bring vengeance, they’ll realize that I am God.”
