The Book Of Ezekiel
Our study through the book of Ezekiel is a study of the History of
the nation Israel as well as warning to any nation that forsakes the one
true God, especially to us who dwell in such freedom and blessing here
in America, "to
whom much is given much is required".
Though His people were in exile and their nation was about to be destroyed,
God was still on the throne and able to handle every situation. In His marvelous
providence, He moves in the affairs of nations and works out His hidden plan.
Israel wasn't the hapless victim of Babylonian aggression they brought God's
chastening upon them selves.
It was God who enabled the Babylonians to conquer His people and chasten
them for their rebellion,-------but God would also bring the Medes and the Persians
to conquer Babylon, and Cyrus, king of Persia, would permit the Jews to return
to their land.
As the Apostle Paul so beautifully stated—
“Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge
of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!” (Rom.
11:33 nkjv)
No matter what message God gave him to preach, or what opposition arose
from the people, Ezekiel would be encouraged and strengthened because he had
seen the mighty throne of God in the midst of the fiery trial. He had seen
the glory of God. Join us as we journey with this amazing prophet and may we
take note of the clear warnings issued through him of the destiny of any nation
that forsakes God and follows after the world.
In His Great Love, Pastor Jeff
