    The prophecy of Ezekiel is that all of Israel, not just the Jews, will be united in the land of their inheritance. Not only that, but they shall not displace the streamers that dwell among them. We have a ways to go yet.

    The role of the prophet is to earn the people as a watchman on the tower. If he warns then he will be free of guilt if they do not heed. If he fails to warn he will answer for their guilt It is also interesting that the Lord has Ezekiel explicitly say that while…

    This is interesting. As i read the first part of the book of Ezekiel I wonder if I have ever read it before. I know aí have but I have no recollection of it

    For all the talk of men not seeing the face of God – the promise of there that the Lord will speak to those who accept his covenant “apparently, and not in dark speeches.” While we may not see his face He promised that there should be no need to struggle to understand him. Jesus…

    I wonder about the Lord purifying the sons of Levi. Part of me thinks He has begun that process and another part feels like that is something he will do openly after he comes. As I think about it, and considering what I know of devout modern Jews, I believe the process has started but…

    Some have questioned if job was a real person or just a story. If he was just a story he would still be an example of a priesthood man but I think he was a real person as he is spoken of in Ezekiel grouped with Daniel and Noah. I remember when I first read…

    I’m surprised at how little the Bible Dictionary had to say about Daniel. As a youth he was asking those captured by the Babylonians and one of those selected to be raised in the royal household. Even as a youth he was bold enough to defy the kings instructions in order to live as he…

    Multiple prophets in the scriptures are said to have been shown everything that would happen among the children of men until the end of the world. This vision of all that lay in store on this earth is what I call the eternal vision. It entails not simply a recitation of post and future history…

    Ezekiel was asking the captives of Nebuchadnezzar. He prophesied of the final restoration in end times of his then broken people and he saw the vision of the end of the world although I’ve never thought of him when listing those who have seen that glorious vision.
