1). A few of the translations are good. The Classic Amplified: “and clears guilt from the land of His people.” Young’s Literal Translation: “And hath pardoned His land -- His people.'” The New Living Translation: “and cleanse the land for his people.” The salvation of Israel as a nation occurs after the return of Christ. A number of Old Testament prophets detail what occurs. 

a). Ezekiel 36:24-38.

b). Zechariah 13:6; Zechariah 12:10-14.

c). Romans 11:26, 27.
