Sermons on Ezekiel

16 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 17 Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman. 18 Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it: 19 and I scattered them…

It’s the beginning of the New Covenant and what God is speaking through Ezekiel about a new covenant that he’s going to give with Israel, the new covenant that he also speaks of in Joel and other places through other prophets. To lay the background again, the nation of Judah, the southern kingdom, has just been decimated by three attacks from Nebuchadnezzar. The last attack, they destroyed the city and the temple and the people were really driven. Historical Background…

Oftentimes, as we look in God’s Word, we can see that things haven’t changed that much today from when the prophets lived in days of old, when Ezekiel lived. At the time that Ezekiel lived, there were people that hated the nation of Israel and had no reason to hate Israel. Yet they did. A lot of people today in our nation have turned against Israel, and they say, well, look it, the majority of the people in Israel don’t…

Ezekiel chapter 34, and we want to look at the second half of this chapter. On Sunday afternoon, we looked at the first portion of the chapter where the Lord chastised the false shepherds, the false shepherds of Israel that had led the nation astray. They had watched them really go up into the hills and begin to be involved in occultic worship, build high places and worship there just like they worship the pagan gods. They abandoned the truth…

Turn with me to chapter 32 of the book of Ezekiel. This is the fourth chapter in a row that Ezekiel is dealing with the topic of Egypt. And why is he dealing with this? Why did God lay this on his heart so much? We’ve mentioned before the fact that Egypt often in the Old Testament symbolizes the world. And Israel was always attracted to turn back to Egypt for help and direction. And whenever they found themselves in…

This afternoon, if you have your Bibles, we want to continue our study through the book of Ezekiel. And this afternoon, we’re going to come to chapter 31, where the Lord compares Egypt to Assyria. So Ezekiel chapter 31 this afternoon. 1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king…

I want to continue our study through Ezekiel in chapter 30 this evening. Those of you who are here on Sunday afternoon, we look at the fact that God was bringing judgment upon Egypt. And if you look here, here is Egypt and Assyria would have been over here. In Iran and Iraq, this would have been the Assyrian Empire over there. And these were the two main empires at the time in the Middle East. Nebuchadnezzar has come to…

This afternoon, if you have your Bibles turn with me to the book of Ezekiel. And we’re going to be looking this afternoon at Ezekiel chapter 29. Ezekiel chapter 29. This chapter is dealing with God’s judgment that he’s going to be bringing against Egypt.  Before we begin, let’s just bow in prayer. Lord, I pray that you just speak to us through your word this afternoon. Help us to understand your word. And Lord, I pray that you would…

In Ezekiel 28:20–26, God turns His attention from Tyre to Sidon, declaring judgment upon a proud and sinful nation. Yet in the midst of judgment shines a powerful promise of restoration for Israel. Ezekiel 28 reminds us that while God judges sin, He also remains faithful to His covenant promises and future redemption plan for His people. 20 Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 21 Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against…
