  • 1 Context Overview 2 Outline of Ezekiel 26
    Author: Ron Graham EEzzeekkiieell CChhaapptteerrss 2266,, 2277 aanndd 2288 —Outline and Notes 1 Context Overview Jerusalem has been under siege by Nebudchadnezzar king of Babylon, and finally the city has been ransacked and brought to ruin. Many Israelites were killed, many taken captive to Babylon, and some escaped. So Israel now consisted of the slaughtered in Jerusalem, the exiles in Babylon, and the fugitives among other nations. Ezekiel was among the exiles in Babylon who had been taken captive years earlier. He was appointed by God to watch over the Israelite captives and teach them by sharing his visions, preaching oracles from God, and performing symbolic acts. Not many paid heed to Ezekiel. King Nebuchadnezzar was attacking other nations besides Judah, and other cities besides Jerusalem. Prominent among these was the kingdom and city of Tyre. God promised that Tyre, because it had become corrupt, would be attacked by the Babylonians and by "many nations" and eventually be destroyed like Jerusalem. Ezekiel delivers God’s counsel to Tyre in a series of prophecies, laments, and oracles. 2 Outline of Ezekiel 26 11th YEAR (Ezekiel 26:1). Prophecy Against Tyre Jerusalem is in ruins and Judah is desolate. The coastal kingdom of Tyre thinks that opens the gate for Tyre to expand and profit. (Ezekiel 26:1-2). But God is against Tyre, and the kingdom will eventually suffer the same ruin as Jerusalem. This will result from "many nations" making wave after wave of assault (Ezekiel 26:3-6). Nebuchadnezzar will Attack Tyre Babylon will be the first of the nations to attack Tyre.

  • Does Ezekiel 28:11–19 Affirm the Fall of Satan in Genesis 1:1–2 As Claimed in the Gap Theory?
    VIEWPOINT || JOURNAL OF CREATION 32(3) 2018 Does Ezekiel 28:11–19 affirm the fall of Satan in Genesis 1:1–2 as claimed in the gap theory? Joel Tay and KeeFui Kon The gap theory claims that Ezekiel 28:11–19 and Isaiah 14:12–15 refer to the fall of Satan in the mineral Garden of Eden before Creation Week. This event is said to have occurred in between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. Gap proponents are intimidated by secular geologists who claim that the earth is billions of years old. By inserting billions of years between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2, gap proponents assume that this allows them to reconcile Scripture with the idea of long ages. This paper demonstrates that the passage in Ezekiel 28 cannot relate to this supposed time gap even if the passage refers to the fall of Satan. If the text is understood as a reference to the fall of Satan, we would still be required to interpret the timing of Satan’s fall as an event that occurred after the sixth day of creation, and the final judgment of Satan is reserved for fire rather than water. We show that the gap theory is an extrabiblical and artificial construct that has been imposed upon the text of Genesis 1:1–2, and that Ezekiel 28 is actually problematic for the gap theory. ap theory claims that there was a previous earth that was 5. God destroyed the earth and everything in it with a Gcreated and then destroyed billions of years ago because worldwide Flood that produced the fossils and rock layers of the rebellion of Lucifer.

  • A Commentary on the Book of Ezekiel by Pastor Galen L
    A Commentary on the Book of Ezekiel By Pastor Galen L. Doughty Southside Christian Church December 2014 INTRODUCTION: This commentary is based upon my personal devotional notes and reflections on the Book of Ezekiel. It is intended to help you better understand some of the background and issues in Ezekiel’s prophecy. It is not a technical commentary designed for academic projects. This material is intended for use by members and friends of Southside Christian Church, especially our Life Group leaders to help you lead your group in a verse by verse study of Ezekiel. However, I do not include discussion questions in the commentary. That I leave up to you as a group leader. In the commentary there are occasional references to the original Hebrew words Ezekiel used in a particular passage. Those Hebrew words are always quoted in italics and are transliterated into English from the Hebrew. I go chapter by chapter in the commentary and sometimes individual verses are commented upon, sometimes it is several sentences and sometimes a whole paragraph. This commentary is based on the New International Version and all Scripture quotations are taken from that version of the Bible. Books of the Bible, Scripture references and quotes are also italicized. KEY HISTORICAL DATES IN THE TIMELINE OF EZEKIEL: King Jehoiachim of Judah becomes a Babylonian vassal, 605. Jehoiachim rebels against Nebuchadnezzar; he sends troops to raid and punish Jehoiachim, 602. Nebuchadnezzar deports some Jews to Babylon from Jerusalem including a young man named Daniel, 602. Jehoiachim dies and is replaced by his son Jehoiachin; he reigns three months, 598.

  • Ezekiel 28 • Then They Will Know That I Am the Lord
    Ezekiel 28 • Then They Will Know that I Am the Lord Introduction In America the courts operate on the principal “innocent until proven guilty.” It doesn’t matter what the judge thinks, what the jury thinks, what the lawyers think, or even what the defendant thinks—everyone acts out their respective role assuming the person on trial is “innocent until proven guilty.” When the trial comes to an end and judgment is rendered, everyone views the person that was on trial according to the verdict, whether they were found to be guilty or innocent. In other words, everyone comes to KNOW with absolute certainty exactly the state of that person. Through God’s Final Judgment, this is precisely the knowledge everyone obtains whether they are for or Him or against. The working of His judgment on everyone’s heart—Believer and unbeliever alike—is that “they will know that I am the LORD”. Observation There are 4 distinct groups or personalities addressed in this chapter: the leader of Tyre, the king of Tyre, Sidon, and Israel. It’s important to compare and contrast them and what God says in particular of each. 1 The word of the LORD came again to [Read v.1-2] 2 me, saying, “Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, Q: Compare v.2 with v.12.

  • Ezekiel Notes Studies Completed with Joe Focht, Chuck Smith, Damian Kyle, Jon Courson, Warren Wiersbe, Matthew Henry, and NIV Study Bible
    Ezekiel Notes Studies completed with Joe Focht, Chuck Smith, Damian Kyle, Jon Courson, Warren Wiersbe, Matthew Henry, and NIV Study Bible. Introduction: Ezekiel means “God strengthens.” - Ezekiel was written between the 2nd and 3rd deportations of Jerusalem. Jerusalem had not yet been completely destroyed. Many of the Jewish captives in Babylon seemed to expect that they would soon return to their homeland. Ezekiel ministered for 22 years; from July, 593 BC to April, 571 BC. - According to Jewish tradition, Ezekiel was put to death by the captives in Babylon. It is stated that they dragged him upon the stones until his brains were dashed out. Theme: “Then they will know that I am the Lord.” - This phrase (or variations of it) is found 65 times in Ezekiel. Outline: Ezekiel 1-24 Ezekiel’s prophecies against the nation of Israel (Judah). Ezekiel 25-32 Ezekiel’s prophecies against the nations. Ezekiel 33-48 Ezekiel’s prophecies for the future restoration of Israel and the Millennial Reign of Christ. Chapter 1: 1:1 – “thirtieth year” – Many believe this is Ezekiel’s 30th year. - As a son in the priestly line, Ezekiel would have started his priestly work during his 30th year. (Num. 4:1-3,23) - “among the captives” – What must Ezekiel be thinking and feeling at this point? Was he disappointed that now that he was of age to begin his ministry, he finds himself a captive in a foreign land? - Before God calls Ezekiel, He convinces him there is nothing he can do. - “Chebar” – A canal on the Euphrates River.

  • God's Punishment of Sidon for Her Oppressive Contempt of Israel (Ezekiel 28:20-26)
    THRU THE BIBLE EXPOSITION Ezekiel: Effective Ministry To The Spiritually Rebellious Part XLII: God's Punishment Of Sidon For Her Oppressive Contempt Of Israel (Ezekiel 28:20-26) I. Introduction A. One way one can sin is by harboring the ungodly attitude of disrespect or contempt toward another party. B. This was the great sin of the city/nation of Sidon against Israel, what is mentioned twice in the Ezekiel 28:20- 26 prophecy about God's punishment of Sidon. We view this passage for our insight and application: II. God's Punishment Of Sidon For Her Oppressive Contempt Of Israel, Ezekiel 28:20-26. A. Sidon "was 20 miles further up the Mediterranean coast" from Tyre, and it was closely associated with Tyre, possibly meaning that the sin of pride that afflicted Tyre also affected Sidon, Bib. Know. Com., O. T., p. 1284. B. However, pride is not mentioned in this prophecy against Sidon where "treating" Israel "with contempt" is noted in verses 24 and 26, and the word shut that Ezekiel used for this sin is an unusual Aramaic loan word that appears only in Ezekiel in all Scripture. (B. D. B., A Heb. and Eng. Lex. of the O. T., p. 1002) C. Accordingly, we view the prophecy against Sidon for the lesson God has on the sin of disrespect or contempt: 1. The Lord had a message of punishment for Sidon because she had roused His just anger, Ezekiel 28:20-23: a. God directed Ezekiel to "set his face toward" Sidon to prophecy judgment against her, Ezekiel 28:20-21.
