Text: Ezekiel 34:1-31. The Shepherds of Israel are leaders, especially the kings, but it includes anyone who is in authority. The work of a rural shepherd implies serious, but tender, concern for the well-being of the sheep. He especially guards against them wandering away. But Israel’s shepherds almost always served themselves. These spiritual shepherds did[…]
Text: Ezekiel 33:1-33. In ancient times, certain men would stand on the wall of a city and watch for anyone approaching. If it was any enemy, the watchman would blow a trumpet to warn the citizens. Ezekiel was to do that for the nation of Israel. Their continued drift away from Yahweh was going to[…]
Text: Ezekiel 32:1-32 In verse 2 we read of how Pharaoh sees himself as a lion among the nations, thinking he is the greatest. But Yahweh will send other nations against him, capture him, and destroy him. In the second half of the Chapter many nations are listed, all fallen, all destroyed. Egypt will be[…]
Text: Ezekiel 31:1-18. We have another warning against pride in this Chapter. Yahweh warns Egypt by giving the example of the kingdom of Assyria.

Text: Ezekiel 30:1-26 The grief we read of in this chapter is similar to that of Chapter 27, God’s lament over the fall of Egypt.

This is lent season where every Christian is called upon to spend time in repentance and self examination. Self denial is a spiritual discipline that Jesus taught his disciples. Denying yourself is an essential part of the Christian life. Jesus called upon those who wish to be His followers to reject the natural human inclination[…]
Text: Ezekiel 29:1-21 This chapter, just like the previous chapter, is a curse from Yahweh against pride. In Chapter 29 Satan’s pride brought his downfall, and eventually his eternal condemnation. King Nebuchadnezzar also credits himself with building the empire of Babylon (Dan.4:30), and God humbled him also. In this Chapter, Pharaoh credits himself for creating[…]
Text: Ezekiel 28:1-26 In verses 11-19 we read another lamentation for Tyre, this time for the King, in particular. But in verse 13, we read that this King existed in the Garden of Eden.
