Ezekiel 33:29 Context
26Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour's wife: and shall ye possess the land? 27Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence. 28For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through. 29Then shall they know that I am the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed. 30Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD. 31And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness. 32And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not.

Bible Commentary for Ezekiel 33:29
Wesley's Notes for Ezekiel 33:29
33:30 The children - Captives in Babylon.
33:31 They come - As if they were really the people of God. They sit - So we find the elders of Judah, chap.#8:1|, so the disciples of the rabbis sat at their feet.
The word "THEN" is from the Hebrew καιG which can mean copulative or cumulative; The "THEN" is a one time event at the end of the Gentile Age and the defeat of any or all enemies of Israel. This might account for why the overlap of time after the 2300 days (7 years) of Daniel 8:14; time toe cleanse the Temple.
In my humble opinion, this is the THEN. it all adds up to a single point in time.
