Ezekiel 12 – THAT YOU MAY KNOW…
God uses the phrase “that you may know” all throughout the book of Ezekiel, showing us why he is speaking and warning. So that we will know, and live.
Ezekiel 10-11 “The Glory of God Departs”
JUDGEMENT AND PROMISE
God promises harsh judgment on sinful people, but also promises great blessing on those who remain faithful. Do we need to be encouraged? Or warned?
Ezekiel 9 “The Man in Linen”
EZEKIEL 9 “THE MAN IN LINEN”
God identifies and protects the righteous, but judges and destroys the sinful, so live in Christ fully and have no fear of judgment.
Ezekiel 8 – “Idolatry and God’s People”
“IDOLATRY AND GOD’S PEOPLE”
We all devote time, energy, and affection to things in our lives (idols) in ways that should only be given to God. Removal (repentance) of idols regularly keeps us focused on Jesus.
Ezekiel 5 “Ezekiel’s 4th Sign Act”
A MESSAGE TO THE REMNANT
God warns his people against complacency and idolatry, calling them to live differently than the world around them or lose his unique blessing upon them.
Ezekiel 3b-4 “Ezekiel’s First Sign Acts”
GOD JUDGES SIN
God commands Ezekiel to perform “sign acts” about judgment on Jerusalem for their sin. Ezekiel’s audience is already in exile but needs to learn the lesson of God’s penalty for sin (just as do we in the church today).
Ezekiel 2-3a “Ezekiel the Watchman”
GOD CALLS EZEKIEL
Ezekiel is to listen to God and share what God tells him with the exiles. How others respond is not up to Ezekiel, he can only control his own obedience.
Ezekiel 1 – “The Vision of God’s Throne”
THE GLORY OF GOD REVEALED
God reveals himself to Ezekiel the Prophet in Babylon during the exile period, reminding us that as exiles today we too must learn these lessons as well.
