Ezekiel 37 Once Dead; now Alive! In rereading this chapter, I am reminded of Ephesians 2:1, 5 ” And although you were dead in your offenses and sins..(God) made us alive together with Christ—by grace you are saved! Paul reminds the Ephesians that they “were dead” but no longer are because of the power of […]
Ezekiel 34 From Genesis to Revelation, each author presents a picture of Jesus. In Psalm 23, He is “my” Shepherd; in John 10, He is the “Good” Shepherd. Long before John wrote, Ezekiel paints the Good Shepherd picture in contrast to the self-indulgent false shepherds who did not care for the sheep. They had plundered […]
Ezek 28 Although Ezekiel paints a vivid picture of the enemies of Israel, there is a silver lining in that dark cloud. There will come a day when all of the world will bow its knee, and they will know that He is Lord, Lord of all. Israel has faced the judgment of God. She […]
Ezekiel 24 Mrs. Ezekiel was to die according to God’s plan. He doesn’t tell us why but Ezekiel obeyed just as God told him to do when she died. She was righteous, unlike Nadab and Abihu, who committed a flagrant sin. Moses told Aaron he could not mourn, and he obeyed. God told God Ezekiel […]
Ezekiel 22 –Jeremiah 5 – Nehemiah 2 How important is prayer today as we see our nation and the people stumbling? Nehemiah returned to the city of Jerusalem and found the walls breached and the people without hope. He gathered the residents to repair the wall, and when the enemies sought to undermine, they gathered […]
Ezekiel 20 Have you ever chosen a gift only for it to be disregarded? That is how God sees His gift of redemption to the Israelites. He had taken the children of Israel out of bondage to a land flowing with milk and honey. They wanted a king, so He gave them a king. No […]
Gen 1 to 18 and Ezekiel 18 “The problem of blame-shifting.” Theology is the study of God, and today’s lesson is about upside-down theology. From Gen 1 to 18, we learn that what was perfect was destroyed by sin. First, Adam blamed Eve, then Eve blamed the serpent, and so it has gone since time […]
Ezekiel 15 to 18 In the NT, Jesus told parables about things or people. He said people will hear yet won’t perceive. Ezekiel also used parables so the people would listen to God’s Word and perhaps glean a truth for life. Parable: #1 In the branch parable, we see a branch full of life thrown […]
Ezekiel 14 When we talk about an incoming politician, we say they came into power on the coattails of another, meaning they used someone else’s success as a means to achieve their own. Today many cling to the faith of their fathers, grandfathers, or their church affiliation, thinking this will get them into heaven. Perhaps […]
Ezekiel 9 to 12 Do you wonder who are the faithful of God? Jude wrote that there are some that are “contenders and some are pretenders.” Unfortunately, many in Jerusalem fell into that last category. They looked and acted the part of the elite priesthood. They did all the right things like offering the sacrifices […]
