EZEKIEL 14-15:The title that the Lord calls Ezekiel is 'son of man', which the Lord is using in the normal sense, meaning 'ordinary human'. The title for Jesus— 'Son of Man', is a special usage. For that, check out Daniel 7.
Note in yesterday's reading when Ezekiel acted out how King Zedekiah would go into exile, Ezekiel covered his eyes. It was reve...
EZEKIEL 12-13:In yesterday's reading, the vision of the glory of the Lord left the temple. Then God disagreed with what the leaders of the Israelites were saying, that they were safe in the 'pot' of Jerusalem.
SONG OF SOLOMON 7:As we heard yesterday, the bride is captivating in beauty, and so radiant that she is compared to the sun and moon.
MATTHEW 26b:<...
EZEKIEL 10-11:Yesterday in chapters 8-9 we heard the story of Ezekiel's being transported to Jerusalem and his awesome vision of our glorious God revealing the idolatry of Israel happening right at the temple. Some of the locations shown are literal, and some are to be taken figuratively. One clearly sees that God has every right to be highly offended. Note that the people sharing God's grief at this...
EZEKIEL 8-9:Terrible destruction is prophesied against Judah and Jerusalem. The trumpet will sound the battle call, but no one will get ready, because they are under God's wrath.
SONG OF SOLOMON 5:Yesterday the young man extolled the perfection of his bride.
MATTHEW 25b:
Yesterday in Matthew 25, we heard two parables th...
EZEKIEL 6-7:
In yesterday's reading Ezekiel portrayed the punishment of Israel and the siege on Jerusalem for a total of 430 days. Then he took a razor and cut his hair and divided it into three parts with a little left over. This was used as a demonstration that a third of the people would die in the city from disease and famine. The distress will be so severe that parents will eat their childre...
EZEKIEL 4-5:In Ezekiel 2-3 God commissioned Ezekiel to speak for God to the rebellious people of Israel. God fed Ezekiel a scroll. This tasted sweet, but afterwards I think he would tell us that it produced "bitterness"— as we will see with John who eats a similar scroll in Revelation. God gave these important words to Ezekiel in yesterday's reading:
EZEKIEL 2-3:Yesterday Ezekiel described his vision of the four cherubim, and the chapter ended just as Ezekiel started hearing a Voice. The last verse ends of chapter 1 says:
Ezk. 1:28 NLT All around him was a glowing halo, like a rainbow shining in the clouds on a rainy day. This is what the glory of the Lord looked like to ...
This seems to me to be a good time to talk with you about how to understand the prophetic books of the Bible, as we now are starting to read the Babylonian exile prophet Ezekiel. And starting in a week and extending to the end of the year, our poetry readings will be from the prophet Isaiah, who lived 200 years before Ezekiel. Near the end of the year we'll read the minor prophets in quick succession. All the books in ...
EZEKIEL 1:Yesterday in the last chapter of 2nd Chronicles, we heard of the quick succession of the kings of Judah at the very end before the exile to Babylon: Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah. And after the fall of Jerusalem, chapter 36 also told of the fulfillment of Jeremiah's prophecy about Cyrus, who gave the decree to rebuild the Temple of God. While Jeremiah prophesied about the fa...
2CHRONICLES 36:Josiah's Passover celebration showed wonderful ability to get everyone to work together and great organizational talent. It is the capstone of the revival that he led. Unfortunately, he was stubborn about going to war with Pharaoh Neco, which cost him both his own life and his son's life.
ECCLESIASTES 12:Yesterday's short chapter recorded proverbi...
2CHRONICLES 35:It is simply amazing that we have books like Deuteronomy, since we see that it (or perhaps Leviticus) was almost lost. And it shows how far Judah had slipped that they didn't know of any copies. Josiah sincerely repented after hearing God's Word.
ECCLESIASTES 11:Yesterday's chapter of Ecclesiastes was mainly separate proverbs. As an example I quot...
2CHRONICLES 34:We are definitely in the back-and-forth pendulum period of Judah. After one fantastic king, the next two were terrible. And now Josiah is again like David.
ECCLESIASTES 10:Here is a highlight from yesterday's reading:
Ecc. 9:11 NLT I have observed something else under the sun. T...
2CHRONICLES 33:The account in 2 Chronicles of Hezekiah's victory through prayer over the vast Assyrian army is summarized. It is much more dramatically related in 2nd Kings. Hezekiah's experience with the envoys from Babylon can also be used as a spiritual parable for us. We need to be careful what we just accept as fate, without asking God for something better.

2CHRONICLES 32:Following that special Passover, the people went home and destroyed all the pagan shrines. And a good summary of chapter 31 is the last verse:
2Chron. 31:21 NLT In all that he did in the service of the Temple of God and in his efforts to follow God's laws and commands, Hezekiah sought his God wholeheartedly. As a res...
2CHRONICLES 31:A sign of how far Judah and Israel had wandered from the Lord was that even the Passover was not celebrated. When Hezekiah reinstituted the Passover celebration, it was the start of a real revival.
ECCLESIASTES 7:I find it interesting that Solomon would say that everything has been decided beforehand. GNT certainly implied Who it was who decided b...
2CHRONICLES 30:Hezekiah led a wonderful spiritual revival which included the reopening and cleansing of the temple and the resumption of sacrifices. And he wasted no time in doing those things.
ECCLESIASTES 6:Solomon gave wonderful conclusions about happiness in yesterday's reading. And he also observed that we leave the world as naked and empty-handed as when w...
2CHRONICLES 29:Ahaz's rule was one of the darkest chapters in Judah's history. The people didn't even bury him in the royal cemetery. He closed the temple and put up places to worship Baal all over the country. Even when under severe punishment from the Lord, he never turned to the Lord for help.
ECCLESIASTES 5:In yesterday's chapter, I really like the passages ...
2CHRONICLES 28:Yesterday we heard of the reign of Uzziah (who suffered a terrible punishment for his pride) and the reign of his son, Jotham. Both were basically good kings.
ECCLESIASTES 4:Yesterday we heard the famous chapter of Ecclesiastes which starts with
Ecc. 3:1 (like NLT) For everything (turn, turn, turn) there is a...
2CHRONICLES 26-27:King Joash didn't end so well, did he?! He ordered the murder of Jehoiadah's son Zechariah. Time and time again Judah's kings needed to learn not to be proud, and that certainly happened to Joash's son Amaziah, who was assassinated like his father.
Jesus mentioned a Zechariah in Matthew 23 who was "murdered between the temple and the altar." I ...
2CHRONICLES 24-25:Yesterday we heard of Ahaziah's one year reign, and then his mother Athaliah's reign. The baby Joash was the only royal descendant of David saved from slaughter. He was raised in the temple by Jehoiada and Jehosheba. When he reached only seven years old, Jehoiada mounted a dangerous coup, which succeeded.
ECCLESIASTES 2B:In yesterday's reading,...
