Ezekiel Bible Studies
The End of the Age and Its Restoration
|
Session 10
|
In Chapters 1-3, Ezekiel describes his visions
of God with its consequential charge of prophetic utterances to the people
of God. In Chapters 4-24, he announces the judgments of God upon the
nation of Israel, the city of Jerusalem, and the sanctuary of the temple.
In Chapters 25-32, he foresees the destruction of the neighboring nations
of Israel for their rejoicing and ridicule over Israel’s fall. Ezekiel
now turns to the actually destruction of the temple, the fall of the city,
and the completion of Israel’s captivity. Then, moves into the promise
of a greater sanctuary, of a greater city, and of a greater nation to
come.
Behind what has been occurring on the surface of physical events, there
has been an underlying development of the mystery of life. The physical
events are not just happening, freaks of nature. They are following the
divine plan of the created world: the day, the midnight, the sunrise, and
the new day. As Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a
corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it
die, it bringeth forth much fruit" (John 12:24). Life always follows
a sequence of events
