Ezekiel was God’s prophet to the community of Jews who had been expelled from Judah by God through the hand of King Nebuchadnezzar, and carried off to live in exile in the nation of Babylon.  Ezekiel lived with the exiles by the river Chebar.  At the same time, approximately 100 miles (160 km) away, hisContinue reading “A Closing Vision – Ezekiel 43”

Without the Spirit of God impacting our hearts, we cannot know or believe the things of God. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Corinthians 2:14 (NKJV) God is reaching out to allContinue reading “I Will Pour Out My Spirit – Ezekiel 39”

Many centuries before Christ, the prophet Ezekiel was given visions from the Lord spelling out the future of Israel.  Some of these prophecies are now being fulfilled, millennia later. Others are yet to be realized.  Perhaps we will see more of these predictions come to pass in our own lifetimes. God promised through Ezekiel toContinue reading “David, Future King – Ezekiel 37”

The prophet Ezekiel had many difficult assignments from the Lord, but he was also treated to some remarkable, divine visions, including the vision of the Valley of Dry Bones. 1 The Lord took hold of me, and I was carried away by the Spirit of the Lord to a valley filled with bones. Ezekiel 37:1 (NLT)  Nothing quite matches theContinue reading “Hope From Dry Bones – Ezekiel 37”

Even through their most challenging times, the Lord has never forgotten His people, Israel.  6 The time is coming when Jacob’s descendants will take root.    Israel will bud and blossom    and fill the whole earth with fruit!
