Introduction: Ezekiel is a book containing the prophecies of the Prophet Ezekiel, who prophecied of the fall, restoration, and glorious future of Jerusalem.
Ezekiel 1:1-3 —Visions of God may occur, the Word of God may be heard, and the hand of God may come upon us at the most unexpected times and in the most unexpected places.
Ezekiel 2:1-2 — To stand for God and speak in the Spirit to others, a prophet must first stand in the Spirit and be spoken to by God.
Ezekiel 2:3-5 — A prophet among us is a divine alarm to us, leaving it impossible for the impenitent to plead ignorance as an excuse for their ignoring of God’s Word of warning.
Ezekiel 2:6-7 — When it comes to God’s prophet, words can’t hurt him, looks can’t kill him, and insolence can’t silence him.
Ezekiel 2:8-3:4 — Before God’s Word can be spoken to the people it must become the sustenance of the prophet, so sweet to his savor that it spawns an insatiable appetite in his soul.
Ezekiel 3:4-9 — No one is more hardheaded than a prophet, whose hardheadedness is divinely given and humanly unsurpassed.
Ezekiel 13:10-16 — The wrath of God will be poured out on the wicked, as well as on false prophets who whitewash their wickedness.
Ezekiel 14:1-20 — When a people and their political leaders are plagued by God over the idols they’ve set up in their hearts and the sinful stumbling blocks they’ve set before their eyes, even the piety and prayers of the most pious among them provides no protection to them.
Ezekiel 18:24 — Past virtue does not justify present vice, nor do past good works excuse present wrongdoing.
Ezekiel 22:30-31 — The absence of man’s mighty intercession may prevent God’s merciful intervention.
Ezekiel 33:1-9 — The contemporary church’s failure to preach repentance, due to the prevalent present-day denunciation of it as intolerance, not only leaves the world without watchmen, but God’s watchmen without excuse.
While unwarned and unrepentant sinners will still die in their sins, the saints who spared sinners' feelings at the forfeiture of their souls will someday answer to God.
Ezekiel 33:13 — Past virtue does not justify present vice, nor do past good works excuse present wrongdoing.
Ezekiel 38:1-3 — Russia, the first nation in the history of the world to establish its government on atheism—the denial of God and the deification of the state—is the only modern-day nation singled out in Scripture as being opposed by God.
Ezekiel 44:17-18 — The work of God is God’s work, which can only be done in God’s presence and with divine power, not in man’s power and with human perspiration.
Ezekiel 44:17-18 — The work of God must be done in the power of God’s Spirit, not in the perspiration of our flesh. In other words, since the service of God is God working through us, it’s really nothing for us to sweat.
Ezekiel 48:35 — Jehovah-Shammah means “the Lord is there.” Our omnipresent God is everywhere at once and ever-present with all His people. There is nowhere He cannot be found and no child of His who is ever forsaken. (Hebrews 13:5-6)
God is in Afghanistan as much as He is in America and with His people no less in persecution than in prosperity.
