JUST AS God used the king of Tyre to represent His judgment against the rebel from Eden, the "anointed guardian cherub," He used the pharaoh of Egypt to describe His judgment against the spirit of chaos, which was represented by the sea monster Leviathan.
ONE OF the most cryptic and fascinating sections in the entire Bible is the focus of our study this week: On the surface, it’s a message from God to the Prince of Tyre, who, at the time of Ezekiel, was a man named Ithobaal III. However, it’s clear from the context that this was really directed at the divine rebel from Eden...
SHOCKING LANGUAGE intended to wake up the people of Judah kicks off our study of Ezekiel this week. Through the prophet, God compared the pagan practices of the nations to lewd behavior, and Ezekiel didn't soften the language at all.
GOD'S REASONS for His judgment against the apostate kingdom of Judah is the focus of this week's study. It reads like a list of charges against a defendant in a court case, a summary of the sins of the Israelites going all the way back to the Exodus.
THE HARSHEST criticism of Israel we've encountered so far is the focus of this week's study. God calls the people of Judah a prostitute -- except that prostitutes get paid, and Judah, said God, had been whoring with other gods for free.
THE FAITHLESS prophets and elders of Israel were singled out by Yahweh for special condemnation in this week's reading. We discuss those who should have known better, but they allowed Israel and Judah to fall into forbidden religious practices.
BACK TO the throne room of God this week as we discuss another visit by Ezekiel into the presence of Yahweh.
PROPHETIC THEATER is one way to describe the commands Ezekiel received from God.
THE TRUE test of prophets is whether they have "stood in the council of YHWH to see and hear His word." This week, we discuss the calling of Ezekiel and God's first commands to the prophet.
EZEKIEL DID not see a spacecraft. Those who think he did are mistaken. We conclude our study of the Book of Lamentations and begin our study of Ezekiel with the account of Ezekiel's Wheel.
