1 Journey Through the Old Testament Lesson #80 Ezekiel Prophecies to the Captives Ezekiel For Wednesday, March 8, Ezekiel We are studying in this lesson about the great prophet Ezekiel. It is believed that he was only a child when Jeremiah first began prophesying about Jerusalem s need to repent and how it would fall in a few short years. By the time Ezekiel was a teenager, the Babylonians had taken away Daniel and his friends to live in Babylon. Around 597 B.C. another round of captives was taken to Babylon about 10,000 people according to (II Kings 24:14). One of those captives was a priest named Ezekiel. It is believed by some that he was about 25 years old when taken. Much of Ezekiel s story took place before Jerusalem was destroyed. The Call of Ezekiel. About five years after Ezekiel went to Babylon, God started revealing Himself to him in visions. Ezekiel saw a whirlwind and a cloud and within the cloud it looked like a raging fire. The glory of God appeared as a bright light. Out of all this came four living creatures part of them look like a man, but they had four faces and four wings on them. [We also see living creatures in God s presence in the New Testament book of Revelation.] A moving wheel followed these creatures everywhere they went. Above these creatures was a sapphire throne with rainbows shining above it. A being with the appearance of a man stood high above all this. As a voice started to speak, Ezekiel fell down with his face to the ground to show his reverence for God. God told Ezekiel to stand on his feet. The he was told, Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day. 4 For they are impudent and stubborn children. I am sending you to them God emphasized that Ezekiel should say these things whether Israel listened or not (Ezk. 2). The Lord then gave Ezekiel a scroll with sad words on it about what would happen to God s people. He told Ezekiel to eat the scroll which tasted like honey. The Spirit of the Lord took Ezekiel to another spot on the Chebar River to some more of the Jews in captivity. God told Ezekiel that He was making him a watchman for Israel, a watchman to warn them. A watchman over a city warned the people if he spotted danger. Ezekiel would become a spiritual watchman to warn people about the danger that their sins were putting them in. Jerusalem to Be Destroyed. Those who had been taken off to Babylon as captives early on may have hoped that Jerusalem would survive. They may have thought that soon, they would be released. But God warned the captives through Ezekiel that Jerusalem would soon be destroyed. The Lord told Ezekiel to take a clay tablet and draw a likeness of Jerusalem on it (Ezk. 4). Then Ezekiel was to make it look like an army was coming up against it to invade the city.
2 God also told Ezekiel to shave off his hair. He was to take the hair and burn a third of it. Another third of the hair was to be cut with a sword, and the other third was to be scattered in the win. By this God was telling the people that a third would die of pestilence and famine in Jerusalem; another third would die by the sword; and the final third would be scattered. Ezekiel Sees the Secret Sins of Jerusalem. One day while Ezekiel sat with some of Jerusalem s elders that were among the captives, he was transported in a vision to the Temple in Jerusalem. There he saw an idolatrous image set up in the inner court of the Temple. After being told to go in and look around, Ezekiel saw idols engraved all over the Temple walls. Then he saw the rulers offering incense to these idols. These rulers were saying, Nobody will see us, even the Lord won t see us (Ezk. 8:12). But God did see them and now Ezekiel was seeing them, too. Ezekiel was taken to another part of the Temple where women were weeping as they worshipped the Babylonian false god, Tammuz. Over near the altar, Ezekiel was shown 25 men facing the sun to worship it as a god. God said that He would show no pity on the people of Judah. He would not pity them or spare them, even if they cried out to Him for mercy. Soon God would give the orders for Jerusalem to be destroyed and many of its people killed (Ezk. 9). The glory of the Lord left the Temple (Ezk. 10). The Lord made it clear to Ezekiel that the condition of Jerusalem and Judah had become so corrupt that nothing could be done to save it. Even if there were some very righteous men there, it would not be enough to save it. This is stressed by mentioning three great Bible characters: Noah, Job and Daniel. [It is interesting that he includes Daniel since he was still alive in Ezekiel s time. Many among the Jews in captivity must have known about Daniel and how righteous he was.] Ezk. 14:12-14 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying: Son of man, when a land sins against Me by persistent unfaithfulness, I will stretch out My hand against it; I will cut off its supply of bread, send famine on it, and cut off man and beast from it. Even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver only themselves by their righteousness, says the Lord GOD. The False Prophets Said Jerusalem Would Be Spared. False prophets were claiming that soon there would be peace and Jerusalem s troubles would be over (Ezk. 13:10). This is a message that all the Jews wanted to believe, but it was a lie. There would be no peace. God said that these false prophets went around telling everyone, Hear the word of the LORD! but that they were really saying this from their own spirit, prophesying out of their own heart (Ezk. 13:1,3). God said that He didn t send them to speak those messages. Each Person is Accountable to God. Ezekiel stresses a truth that we all need to understand about a relationship with God. Every soul must answer to God for what they have done. If you sin, you cannot blame someone else. If they sin, they cannot blame you. If you were wicked, the fact that there were some righteous people among the Jews would not make you alright with God. Ezk. 18:4 says, Behold, all souls are Mine; The soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is Mine; The soul who sins shall die. A Righteous Man. Vs. 5,9 But if a man is just and does what is lawful and right He shall surely live, says the Lord GOD. The Wicked Son of a Righteous Man. Vs. 10,13 If he begets a son who is a robber Or a shedder of blood, Who does any of these things Shall he [the son] then live? He shall not live! If he has done any of these abominations, He shall surely die; His blood shall be upon him. The Righteous Son of a Wicked Man. Vs. 14,17 If, however, he begets a son who sees all the sins which his father has done, and considers but does not do likewise He shall not die for the iniquity of his father; He shall surely live!
3 Vs. 20 says, The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself. A Wicked Man Who Turns From His Wickedness. Vs But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live. Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? says the Lord GOD, and not that he should turn from his ways and live? A Righteous Man Who Turns From His Righteousness. Vs. 24 But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? All the righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; because of the unfaithfulness of which he is guilty and the sin which he has committed, because of them he shall die. Vs. 30 says, Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, says the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin. Jerusalem Falls. By the 33 rd chapter of Ezekiel, the city of Jerusalem had been destroyed by the Babylonians. Ezk. 33:21 says, And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, on the fifth day of the month, that one who had escaped from Jerusalem came to me and said, The city has been captured! All the people who had believed the false prophets and thought that Jerusalem would survive, now knew that Ezekiel s prophecies had been right. The Lord Promises to Restore Some Back to Israel. Ezekiel cried to God afraid that Israel would come to a complete end (Ezk. 11:13). But God told him that in time He would bring a small portion of the Jews back to their land. But those who came back would no longer worship idols. They would have a new spirit and a new heart in them and God would once again be their God (Ezk. 11:20). One of the most famous images from the visions God gave to Ezekiel was what he saw when taken into a valley filled with bones dried out in the sun. If you see where an animal has died and all that is left is the bones, you know that it has been dead for a while and won t live again. As Ezekiel looked on of the valley filled with dry bones, God asked him, Son of man, can these bones live? (Ezk. 37:3). Ezekiel said, Lord, you are the only one that knows. Then God told Ezekiel, Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the LORD. (Ezk. 37:4-6). As the vision keeps going, Ezekiel did as God said and the bones came together and then muscles and flesh came back on them. As he prophesied more, the breath came into them and they lived. They stood up and looked like a large army. What did God mean by this vision? Ezk. 37:11-12 says, Then He said to me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say, Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off! Therefore prophesy and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. The day was
4 coming when God s people would return alive to their land. These promises came true about 70 years later. The New Testament Teaches Us God Promises a Greater Future for His People. Ezekiel 34:23-24 I will establish one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them My servant David. He shall feed them and be their shepherd. And I, the LORD, will be their God, and My servant David a prince among them; I, the LORD, have spoken. A similar promise is made in Ezk. 37 where God promises, My servant David shall be their prince forever (Vs. 25). God would place His sanctuary, His tabernacle, among them forever (Vs ). There can be only one proper fulfillment of these prophesies: Jesus was the One Shepherd who would come. I Peter 2:25 says, For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. Hebrews 13:20 calls our Lord Jesus that great Shepherd of the sheep. Jesus was the new king (a new David), sitting on the throne of David (Lk. 1:32-33). The church would be the new sanctuary that would last for all eternity. Eph. 2:21-22 tells us that the church grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. Bible Quiz 1.
