Study in Ezekiel
Ezekiel 16:35–52 Explained: Jerusalem’s Judgment
This afternoon, if you have your Bible, turn with me to the book of Ezekiel. And we want to continue our study through Ezekiel. And this afternoon, we’re coming to Ezekiel chapter 16, the last portion of chapter 16. As you’ve been looking at Ezekiel, one of the things that Ezekiel is constantly bringing to before that the Lord places on his heart to share with the people is why they’re in captivity and their need to repent and turn…
Ezekiel 16, When Blessing Turns Into Betrayal
This evening, if you have your Bibles, it will turn for me to the book of Ezekiel, we’ll continue to go through Ezekiel. Tonight we come to a very interesting chapter. It’s chapter 16. Ezekiel 16 is a vivid picture of God’s covenant love and Israel’s betrayal through idolatry. Many of the things that Ezekiel is going to share in chapter 16, he’s told to the nation of Israel before, but God is having him present it from a different…
Ezekiel 15 Useless Due to Unfaithfulness
This is probably the shortest chapter in the book of Ezekiel. But as Ezekiel is looking at the circumstances around Israel and their lack of faithfulness to God, and he’s talking to them about not only the need to turn back to the Lord, but also the promises that God has in store for them, the Lord gives Ezekiel a message, another parable, if you would, a parable of the fruitless vine. I thought it was interesting as I read…
Ezekiel 14, Rejecting the truth, but claiming to be seeking the truth
This evening, if you have your Bibles, turn with me to Ezekiel chapter 14. Ezekiel faced many issues that we face today in our nation. At the time that Ezekiel was living, Nebuchadnezzar, Daniel was in Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar was still on the throne, and the people did not want to really look to the Lord, but yet they wanted God’s help, but they didn’t really want to worship the Lord. We’re going to see that this evening. And what God…
Ezekiel 13, Are God’s People Willing to Proclaim the Truth
Ezekiel chapter 13, the Lord had been giving in Ezekiel messages to share with the people and he’d been using object lessons that he would have Ezekiel do to help the people understand the message he was bringing. Last time we looked at the fact that Ezekiel got his bags together and he left on what appeared to be a journey and it was really symbolizing that the nation of Israel would be taken out of Judah and they would…
Ezekiel 12 Explained: Acting Out Judgment for a Stubborn People
This evening, if you have your Bibles, turn with me to the book of Ezekiel. I want to continue our study through Ezekiel. And this evening we’re in Ezekiel chapter 12. What do you do when you have a people that won’t listen? God has some unique ways of trying to reach people that don’t want to hear his word. And he did these throughout the ministry of Ezekiel. Ezekiel was told by God to use various object lessons. Tonight…
Ezekiel 11:1-25, God’s Judgment on Corrupt Leaders
This afternoon, if you have your Bibles, we’ll turn with me to the book of Ezekiel. And in Ezekiel, we come to chapter 11, Ezekiel chapter 11. Let’s just read this chapter together and then we’ll take a look at it. Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the Lord’s house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son…
Ezekiel 10
This evening if you have your Bibles and will turn with me to Ezekiel chapter 10. Ezekiel is having still having these visions sent by God dealing with the nation of Israel. Specifically with the city of Jerusalem. In chapter 10 we’re going to be seeing the glory of God coming before Ezekiel. He sees the very thing that he saw in chapter 1 and that is the God coming down before him and the glory of God in his…
Ezekiel 9, Those That Cry for the City
And this afternoon, we want to look at Ezekiel chapter 9. Those of you who were here Wednesday night, you remember that we looked at chapter and we saw why God was bringing, one of the reasons He was bringing judgment upon the city of Jerusalem and the people of Judah was because of the abominations that the elders and the priests had brought into the temple. And it was rather sobering to read through chapter and see that all…
Ezekiel 6, God hates idolatry
Judgment of Idolatry God commands Ezekiel to prophesy against the mountains of Israel—the locations where idol worship took place. • High places, incense altars, and idols will be destroyed • The slain will fall before their false gods • God shows that idols are powerless to save And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them, 3 and say, Ye mountains of Israel,…
Ezekiel 5:1-17, Privilege without obedience leads to judgment
A lot of times, we think that we live in a difficult time, and we fail to remember the times that many of the people that were followers of the Lord lived in a difficult space. Ezekiel is in the country of Babylon, amongst the Jewish captives who have been taken there, ministering to them. God is laying on his heart that he would impress on them the truth of their condition. A lot of times, people want to deny…
Ezekiel 4, Warning coming siege
This afternoon, if you have your vitals, we’re going to be continuing our study in the book of Ezekiel. Today we come to Ezekiel chapter 4. One of the things that God does through the prophets of the Old Testament is he often uses objects as symbols and object lessons to teach truth to the nation of Israel through the prophets. He does this on a number of occasions with Ezekiel. And this afternoon we’re going to be studying in…
