EZEKIEL 45 Vs 1 KJV-Lite™ VERSES EZEKIEL 45 vs 1 KJV-lite™ VERSES www.ilibros.net/KJV-lite.html Now we come to the chapters that tragically belong to the wasted words of the Lord God, who always has His eye out for those expressing love freely given. From chapter 45 to the end of Ezekiel, much of what is recorded (but not all) was intended to be local history 2000 years ago… when Messiah would come the first time: in the first 4 days that Paul describes as shadows of things to come, fulfilled in Christ the Messiah… the timeline: clearly spelled out by Daniel. But only 10% of the House of Judah even cared to return to Jerusalem and roll up their sleeves and rebuild in anticipation of the Messiah; the rest were stuck in Babylon. Now we in the genius 21st century have come to Plan B: The last days: Trumpets, Afflicting souls, and Tents; 3 days still on the Lord’s calendar. Chapter 37 the great awakening of Joseph (led by Ephraim and Manasseh) when they along with Judah become one; until Jesus Messiah returns to rule with a rod of iron. Armageddon: Chapter 38 Gog and Magog against Judah and Manasseh; Chapter 39 Gog and Magog against Ephraim – the battle is over. TRAGICALLY, what we learn here can be called: THE WASTED WORDS OF THE LORD… as the highly-educated seminaries… overpopulated with the braindead, heartless, faithless and clueless dragging along their pet manmade traditions… will be leading the People of God… till they all fall into the ditch together. The details about this now unnecessary Temple that should have happened in all its grand detail, but didn’t… is evidence of God’s faithfulness and longsuffering; when the Chief Cornerstone was rejected --- when MESSIAH came in great humility… they should have worked harder 2000 YEARS AGO… THE WASTED WORDS OF JESUS, THE CHRIST; YESHUA THE MESSIAH. The virulent orthodox religious leaders: be they Jewish orthodox, or Eastern orthodox; Anglican, Lutheran, Calvinist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist, Assembly of God, Pentecostal, Evangelical or whatever… all very much similar to those confined in their Liturgical Calendar of whatever the hocus pocus confession, while they ignore the 3 remaining Days on the Lord’s Calendar – 3 DAYS of equal importance to: Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits and Pentecost; 3 DAYS AT THE TIME OF THE INGATHERING, THAT MOSES TOLD THE PEOPLE ALL ABOUT… BUT WAS ANYBODY LISTENING? 1 | iLibros.net internacional © 2017 EZEKIEL 45 vs 1 KJV-lite™ VERSES www.ilibros.net/KJV-lite.html Most “scholars” will tell you this is future Messianic kingdom prophecy. It isn’t! It is what the Lord God who also acts in faith… spelled out in detail for the House of Judah when they joyously returned from Babylon – but for the most part they didn’t return... the rest were stuck in Babylon. 1Moreover, when you divide by lot the land for an inheritance, you will offer for the LORD, setting aside a portion of the land: the length will be 25,000 cubits, and the width will be 10,000. This will be a holy district in all its borders. 2 Out of this there will be a square around it for the sanctuary - 500 cubits in length, and 500 cubits in width; and 50 cubits around it for its open spaces. 3 And of this area you will measure a length of 25,000, and the width of 10,000: and in it will be the sanctuary and the most holy place. No longer needed 4 The holy portion of the land will be for the priests the ministers of the sanctuary, which will come near to minister to the Lord: and it will be a place for their houses, and a holy place for the sanctuary. No longer needed 5 And an area 25,000 in length, and 10,000 in width the Levites -- the ministers of the house, will have for themselves, for a possession for twenty chambers. No longer needed 6 And you will appoint the city possession 5,000 wide, and 25,000 long, alongside of the oblation of the holy portion: it will be for the whole house of Israel / they could have all lived there had they all returned. No longer needed 7 And to the prince will belong the land on both sides of the oblation of the holy district, and the city possession, before the oblation of the holy district, and before the city possession, to the west side westward, and to the east side eastward: and the length will be alongside one of the portions, from the west border to the east border. No longer needed 8 This will be his land for possession in Israel: and My rulers will no longer oppress My people; and they will give the rest of the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes. 9 Thus says the Lord God: Enough, O rulers of Israel: remove violence and spoil / put away hamas and destruction, and execute right judgment and equal justice, take away your exactions / your expropriations; modifying property and individual rights… apparently they had a two-tier system, laws for all the people, and different laws for the lawless criminal aristocrats. from My people, says the Lord God. 2 | iLibros.net internacional © 2017 EZEKIEL 45 vs 1 KJV-lite™ VERSES www.ilibros.net/KJV-lite.html 10 you will have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath / in other words: a gallon is a gallon; not 9/10th of a gallon; if you worked 1 hour, you worked 60 minutes, not 53.5 minutes. 11 The ephah and the bath will be of one measure, that the bath may contain the tenth part of a homer, and the ephah the tenth part of a homer: the measure of it will be after the homer. 12 And the shekel will be twenty gerahs: twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels, will be your maneh. 13 This is the oblation that you will offer; the sixth part of an ephah of a homer of wheat, and you will give the sixth part of an ephah of a homer of barley: 14 Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil, you will offer the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, which is a homer of ten baths; for ten baths are a homer: 15 And one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of the fat pastures of Israel; for a meat offering, and for a burnt offering, and for peace offerings, to make reconciliation for them, says the LORD God / necessary 2000 years ago, then Messiah came; No longer needed 16 All the people of the land will give this oblation for the prince in Israel. 17 And it will be the prince's part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he will prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel / necessary 2000 years ago, then Messiah came; No longer needed 18 Thus says the LORD God: In the first month, in the first day of the month, You will take a young bullock without blemish, and cleanse the sanctuary: No longer needed 19 And the priest will take of the blood of the sin offering, and put it on the posts of the house, and on the four corners of the settle of the altar, and on the posts of the gate of the inner court / necessary 2000 years ago, then Messiah came in great humility; No longer needed 20 And so you will do the seventh day of the month for everyone who errs, and for him who is simple: so you will reconcile the house. No longer needed 21 In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, you will have the Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread will be eaten / necessary 2000 years ago, but then Messiah came and substituted His life for ours, dying for the world on Passover; so No longer needed 3 | iLibros.net internacional © 2017 EZEKIEL 45 vs 1 KJV-lite™ VERSES www.ilibros.net/KJV-lite.html 22 And on that day will the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin offering. No longer needed 23 And seven days of the feast he will prepare a burnt offering to the LORD, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a kid of the goats daily for a sin offering. No longer needed 24 And he will prepare a meat offering of an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and an hin of oil for an ephah. 25 In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month, will he do the like in the feast of the seven days, according to the sin offering, according to the burnt offering, and according to the meat offering, and according to the oil. Nothing Messianic here; it’s a detailed description of what the House of Judah could have become 2000 years ago; had they paid attention to what the Lord said, and rolled up their sleeves in anticipation of Messiah’s first coming in great humility.

  • Ezekiel Chapter 45
    Ezekiel Chapter 45 Ezekiel 45:1 "Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto the LORD, a holy portion of the land: the length [shall be] the length of five and twenty thousand [reeds], and the breadth [shall be] ten thousand. This [shall be] holy in all the borders thereof round about." The Promised Land had been divided to the tribes of Israel. They were wonderful record keepers, and they knew where their land was located. Each family had an inheritance of the land of their forefathers. This is a different allotment. The land for the temple was not to be allotted to anyone. This sacred land, set apart at the heart of Palestine, is separate from allotments designated for various tribes, seven to the North and five to the South. Though the whole earth is the Lord’s, this area is meaningful to Him in a special sense, as providing for special purposes which (45:2- 8), goes on to define. This holy rectangle (8.5 miles by 3.3 miles; verses 1-3), corresponds to (48:8-22), which describes this portion as between Judah to the North and Benjamin to the South extending from the Mediterranean East to the eastern border. It is the area for the priestly homes in (verse 4 particularly), but is also for the benefit of all worshipers. Ezekiel 45:2 "Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred [in length], with five hundred [in breadth], square round about; and fifty cubits round about for the suburbs thereof." At the heart of the special allotment is the temple area (48:10), which serves all Israelite tribes, and also is the worship center for those of the whole world, who visit.

  • 3-The Presence of God in Ezekiel
    The Presence of God in Ezekiel Sid Latham Introduction: I. The purpose of this paper is to examine the instances of the presence of God in the book of Ezekiel. To some, such a study may seem esoteric and impractical. Nothing could be further from the truth. Everyday decisions occur at the nexus of theology (how we view God) and philosophy (how we view the world). II. When the heavens were opened and Ezekiel saw visions of God, he saw the most practical and real thing anyone could see. (Ezekiel 1:1) We must attempt to see those visions after him and to aid others in doing so. This is not just an important aspect of what we do, it is the whole of what we do. It is the purpose of our existence, not as preachers, but as creatures made in the image of God! III. Because of the constraints of time and format we are going to focus on three passages in Ezekiel. Ezekiel 1-3, 8-11 and 40-48. There are a number of reasons for this: A. These three passages form the broad strokes of the narrative development of Ezekiel’s prophesy: God’s presence arrives among the captives in Babylon. (1-3) God leaves the temple and calls down judgment in Jerusalem. (8-11) God restores His presence in the eschatological temple. (40-48) B.Ezekiel himself links these three passages in the following ways: 1. All three passages are dated. (Ezekiel 1:1; 8:1; 40:1) 2. All three passages include the statement, “the hand of the Lord was on me” or some very similar formulation.

  • Introduction to Ezekiel1
    Introduction to Ezekiel1 © 2007 Andy Woods Introductory Matters2 Authorship Ezekiel is identified as the author two times in the book (1:3; 24:24). The unity of the book seems defensible from various internal indictors. For example, the first person singular is used throughout the book. Also, the style, language, and thematic development are consistent throughout the book. Moreover, the book repeats distinctive phrases. Examples include “they shall know the lord,” “son of man,” “glory of the Lord.” The presupposition of Ezekiel as the author was not challenged until around the 1930’s. Despite this evidence, many today deny the authenticity of the book, instead arguing that someone in Palestine composed it sometime after the return from the exile. However, the arguments used to buttress this position are answerable. First, it is argued that the book’s focus on imminent 1 Material for this section was compiled from various sources, including Bruce Wilkinson and Kenneth Boa, Talk Thru the Bible (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1983), 509-16; Robert G.

  • Ezekiel 45 Part 2
    1 graceWORKS ! GOING DEEPER The Papou Study Bible is a daily study provided by me to help folks explore the depth and joy of the “conneXion” life of God. It’s my personal study, and is not intended as a doctrinal statement or statement of any church or denomination or congregation. It’s also my belief that “grace” works, and the servant of God should always want to go deeper. Multi- tasking as usual, I’m also calling this the “Papou Study Bible.” I’m writing it as if I were speaking to my girls who love me and any descendant they have that love their Papou too. And to anyone who wants to consider me a spiritual Dad or “Papou.” I want them to be able to study the Bible with Papou (grandpa in Greek) after I’m gone---and if they don’t, I’ll haunt them. The Scriptures say it’s noble to “search the Scriptures daily” to verify truth like the ancient Bereans did (Acts 17:11). My folks came from Berea. My incredible Dad (and your grandfather and great grandfather, guys), Vasil Charles Valekis taught me to do this like he did---every day until I die. He taught me and everyone I know to go to church no matter what and to put God first. While Mama (Maria Pagona Stratakis Valekis) never really did this, she made sure we listened to Daddy on this one. She would have hit us with a spatula or frying pan or worse if we didn’t. This is a simple sharing my “daily search.” And I’d like to think it is a continuation of God’s life through my Dad through me.

  • Message 4-6-19 Tazria Leviticus 12:1-13:59 Ezekiel 45:16-46:18 Isaiah 66:1, 23-24 John 11:47-52
    Message 4-6-19 Tazria Leviticus 12:1-13:59 Ezekiel 45:16-46:18 Isaiah 66:1, 23-24 John 11:47-52 Introduction The role of the kohen or priest is non-magical: He does not “cure” anyone of the illness; he diagnoses it, and when it is already cured, restores the person’s ritual wholeness. In cases of acute tzara’at, the sufferer was banished from the camp for the duration of the illness, often for life. Leviticus 13:45-46 45 "The leprous person who has the disease shall wear torn clothes and let the hair of his head hang loose, and he shall cover his upper lip and cry out, 'Unclean, unclean.' 46 He shall remain unclean as long as he has the disease. He is unclean. He shall live alone. His dwelling shall be outside the camp. (ESV) what else is tazara’t talking about; have you ever given it any thought? What I mean is, most of the time, it is usually connected with the sin of Lashon Hara or gossip or slander. This is a sin against our Creator. Most of us do not give it a second thought, but it is there in the Torah. It is a sin, but we just keep on doing it without giving it a second thought. I am sure we do not believe we are doing anything wrong. Most of the time we think we are doing something good if we share how we feel about someone with others, but then the sin expands outward from being something we keep to ourselves, and we begin to share it with others.

  • Ezekiel Commentary-Daniel Woodhead
    Ezekiel Commentary-Daniel Woodhead The Book of Ezekiel INTRODUCTION TO EZEKIEL August 23, 2015 INTRODUCTION The Old Testament book of the Jewish Prophet Ezekiel is one of the so-called Major Prophets in the Christian Bible because of its length. The other four are Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations and Daniel. The twelve so-called Minor Prophets follow these. They are designated minor due to their length. Therefore all the prophetic books are collected together in the Christian Bible. The Hebrew Bible, which is called the Tenach, arranges the books in a different order and assigns the Book of Ezekiel to third position in the category called the Latter Prophets (Hebrew, Neve’em). The other Later Prophets are Isaiah, Jeremiah and the Twelve Prophets. The Jewish Talmud arranges the sequence of the books of the Latter Prophets to follow a chronological order. Beginning with Jeremiah, which is primarily concerned with the prophecies of Israel’s destruction following the narrative of the books of Kings. Ezekiel, which begins with destruction, ends with the consolation of the Messianic Kingdom. Isaiah follows that and is almost all concerned with prophecies of consolation.

  • The Prophet Ezekiel
    The Prophet Ezekiel John Singer Sergeant’s rendition of Ezekiel (12:6) Ezekiel was carried away captive to Babylon at the age of twenty–five— one of 10,000 captives. In the fifth year of his captivity God called the young priest to prophesy to “a rebellious nation, impudent and stubborn.” For more than twenty–five years Ezekiel faithfully carried Jehovah’s message of recompense upon a rebellious house and the restoration of a holy remnant, to a captive nation in a distant and foreign land. In this study the book will be analyzed in twenty–six lessons placing emphasis on understanding the prophet’s presentation of Messiah as the Second David.
