Ezekiel 35 – 36 When he was told to prophesy against mount Seir my first thought was that he would prophesy against the mountain because it had been used for evil worship. In hindsight that idea is contrary to the nature of the Lord. The prophecy against the people of mount Seir because they fought…

Ezekiel 34 What shepherds were there who were not feeding the flocks or seeking to help the lost or wounded sheep? My feeling is that the Lord is talking about those who were in a position to be shepherds rather than those who were actually the spiritual leaders of the people (or it may be…

Ezekiel 33 It must be a heavy responsibility for a prophet to know that the sins of the people will be upon his head if he fails to warn them. For the people the important message here is the message that the Lord does not desire that the wicked should perish but that the wicked…

Ezekiel 29 Pharaoh claims to have made the Nile river so he will be treated like a fish of the Nile and pulled from his place. The Lord allowed Nebuchadnezzar to take the spoil of Egypt in payment for overthrowing Tyrus without reward.

Ezekiel 24 – 25 How difficult would it be to not mourn when your wife had died? That was what Ezekiel had to do as his wife died right after he was commanded not to mourn the dead. Those who take a “serves them right” attitude when the wicked are punished for their sins will…

Ezekiel 23 There is a poetic justice in the choice to leave Israel and Jerusalem to the mercies of the nations they had chosen to associate with.
