Ezekiel 47 – 48 The waters that flow from the temple not only heal the Dead Sea (a prophecy I had heard) but also heal and give life to everything else in the land (which I don’t recall hearing before) except the miry and marshy places which shall be a source of salt. This makes…

Ezekiel 46 I wonder how closely the sacrifices and practices of worship described here align with the original sacrifices defined by the Lord to Moses in Leviticus. I am not quite interested enough to do a comparison because I believe that most of the details do not apply to us today and I don’t know…

Ezekiel 45 I didn’t realize that there was a sacred zone set apart for the priests and for sanctuary. According to this it was about seven miles long by three miles wide. It sounds as if there is also a portion set apart next to that for the temporal government of Israel. That portion was…

Ezekiel 44 It’s interesting how the Lord differentiates between those priests who followed the people to wickedness and those who follows the Lord even when the people choose wickedness. Those who followed the Lord are allowed to minister in the more holy things while those who followed the people in wickedness are required to perform…

Ezekiel 42 – 43 The Lord tells Ezekiel how the people may begin to practice temple worship again and have it accepted by Him.

Ezekiel 40 I would love to see an artist’s rendering of the building that Ezekiel saw here. Thanks to Google I have now seen several. One image I found showed that this temple is many times larger than the temple of Solomon. I wonder if the Jews will build and use this temple prior to…

Ezekiel 39 I’m not sure exactly what to make of the seven years of burning the weapons but the seven months of burying the dead suggest a massive military destruction on the order of what the Jews suffered during the Holocaust edit this time it will be those who fight against Israel who suffer the…

Ezekiel 38 It just occurred to me that declaring Palestine to be a state could lay the groundwork for other nations to take military action against Israel. I don’t mean to suggest that anyone at the U.N. had that in mind when they cat that vote but that could conceivably be an eventual result of…

Ezekiel 37 The reanimation of the bones is a beautiful symbol of the Lord’s ability and intention to breath life back into His covenant people. It is also a symbol of the way the Lord has repeatedly used the sacred records of fallen peoples to revive the memory of those people as well as the…
