概要

 Pastor begins class by introducing us to Ezekiel: -- Priestly family -- He was exiled in 597 BC (2 Kings 24:12-14) approx age 26 -- Called as prophet at age of 30 -- His name means " God strengthens" He was warned that the people would not want to hear what he shares with them. And God tells him that he is a watchman. God uses "son of man" to refer to Ezekiel. -- The book is characterized by prophetic actions and symbols. God uses memorable actions, visible things, to make power spiritual declarations and to make powerful profound truth to be made clear. Ezekiel often gives an action to the words God gives him. And God uses those actions to make a point. -- Prose rather than poetry - he speaks very direct. He speaks graphically and sometimes his words are very shocking. -- "Then they will know that I am the LORD" this phrase occurs over and over (65 times) in the Book of Ezekiel. The time before, during and after Ezekiel's life was a time of international upheaval and turmoil with empires battling for power. There were 3 empires vying for power: Egypt, Assyria and Babylonia. Around 605 BC Daniel and his friends Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were taken captive by the Babylonians. About seven years later, in 597 BC, Ezekiel is taken captive by the Babylonians. It's fascinating to think of them being contemporaries. All deeply devoted to the Living God. Outline of Ezekiel -- Prophetic Judgment against Israel - Ezekiel 1-24 (God's judgement always begins with the household of God) -- Prophetic Judgment against the nations - Ezekiel 25-32 (God holds nations accountable - when a nation turns away from God it brings judgment on itself.) -- Prophetic Hope for Israel and the Nations - Ezekiel 33-48 (God's purpose in judgment is to turn us back to Him. Our Hope is found in God's plan for salvation and the promise of His Son, Jesus. Jesus comes first to the people of Israel and then says to make disciples of all nations.) Starting in chapter one we see a glimpse into a vision Ezekiel experiences that brings Ezekiel to fall face down as He realizes the power and majesty and glory of God. He hears God speaking to him and God sends him to the Israelites and tells him that he must speak the words He gives him whether the people want to listen or not and that He would be with Ezekiel. God makes Ezekiel a watchman of the nation. God's desire to bring them back to Himself through repentance is evident. God has Ezekiel do many actions - illustrations - of what He wants the people to know and understand. One example is God telling Ezekiel to have a specific way of lying in bed. Pastor shares amazing speculation and a possible explanation of the 390 + 40  = 430. Pastor's speculation ends with a date in May of 1948 and the quote, "Can a nation be born in one day?" Pastor shares several other examples of actions / illustrations that Ezekiel was told by God to do. In chapter 9 we hear that judgment is coming but Ezekiel sees, in a vision, a man putting a protecting mark (a tav) on the foreheads of those found faithful to God. Pastor show us what the tav looks like in Modern Hebrew in comparison to what the tav looked like in Paleo Hebrew in Ezekiel's day. I'll just say, "Oh, my!" And I hope that if the 430 didn't convince you to take a listen to Pastor's teaching on Ezekiel, I hope that this leaves you wondering enough to listen. (BTW the word "coincidence" is not in the Bible). The Dead See scrolls also carry this letter of the Paleo alphabet, the tav, on the Messianic prophecies. The goodness, grace and mercy of God are evident! God is incredible! Pastor overviews several other chapters: 10, 16, 18, 23, 24, 33, 34, 37, 38, 40-48 with themes of: -- Judgment -- Hope -- Idolatry is adultery against God -- God pleads for His people to turn back to Him -- Ezekiel's wife dies when he is around 37 -- Ezekiel's call is reaffirmed -- God will be the people's Shepherd - a prophetic word. (See John 10) -- Dry bones coming to life -- The spiritual battle between God and evil -- The New Temple -- New Jerusalem and it will be named "God is there" Join us next week for the study of Hosea and Joel.
