A more detailed look divides the book into 4 sections. First, are prophecies on the ruin of Jerusalem (Ezekiel 1:1–24:27). Second, are prophecies of retribution on nearby nations (Ezekiel 25:1– 32:32), with a glimpse at God’s future restoration of Israel (Ezekiel 28:25,26). Thirdly, there is a transition chapter (Ezekiel 33:1-33) which gives instruction concerning a last call for Israel to repent. Finally, the fourth division includes rich expectations involving God’s future restoration of Israel (Ezekiel 34:1–48:35). (Reference) I. Prophecies of Jerusalem’s Ruin (Ezekiel 1:1–24:27) A.

EZEKIEL COMMENTARY Verse by Verse Bruce Hurt, MD Note: This commentary adheres to a literal interpretation of the Scriptures, a belief that God is not yet finished with the nation of Israel, a belief in a literal return of Christ to literally reign and rule on the earth for 1000 years. Many of the older commentaries (pre- 1900) tend to be non-literal on many of the prophetic promises to Israel so extreme caution is advised when reading anyone's comments (including mine!) Your watchword in prophetic passages should always be "Be a Berean!"

  • NOTES to the SEPTUAGINT EZEKIEL 6 Thematically Chapter 6
    NOTES TO THE SEPTUAGINT EZEKIEL 6 Thematically chapter 6 continues chapters 4–5 with its threatening predictions. From a dramatized condemnation of Jerusalem the prophet turns now to address the mountains of the surrounding land of Israel, the sites of the high places with their idolatric worship. The Septuagint (LXX) is shorter than the Masoretic Text (MT). LXX lacks the conflations of MT and of its maximizing text into which vari- ants have been incorporated. On the other hand, the trimmer text of LXX sometimes suggests it has been contracted1. Whereas in MT verses 8-9 seem to ring a hopeful note, in LXX they further develop the threatening message of the forgoing verses. The Double Name Twice in a role in verse 3, and once in v. 11, the critical editions of LXX have single kúriov where MT reads the double Name evei inda. In earlier contributions we already dealt with this phenomenon2. Here it may suffice to briefly summarise the data, adding remarks on the treatment of the topic in some newer commen- taries, and on L.J. McGregor's evaluation of the Greek evidence. In MT the double Name evei inda occurs 301 times3. It is typical for the book of Ezekiel were it is attested 217 times. In these instances, the critical editions of the Hebrew text, BHK and BHS, characterise inîda∏ as a secondary intrusion, either by commanding the reader to delete (dl) it, or by saying that it is an addition (add). The basis for this correction is the Greek text, and the suggestion that inîda∏ was inserted into the text as a help for the reader, to remind him of the fact that the “tetragram” could not be pronounced and was to be replaced by Adonay.

    Wednesday Wellspring: A Bible Study for UU’s (part 1) Bible Study 101: Valuable Information for Serious Students taught by Keith Atwater, American River College worksheet / discussion topics / study guide 1) Meeting Your Bible What is your Bible’s full title, publisher, & publication date? Where did you get your Bible? (source, price, etc.) What’s your Bible like? (leather cover, paperback, old, new, etc.) Any Gospels words in red? What translation is it? (King James, New American Standard, Living Bible, New International, etc.) Does your Bible include Apocrypha?( Ezra, Tobit, Maccabees, Baruch) Preface? Study Aids? What are most common names for God used in your edition? (Lord, Jehovah, Yahweh, God) The Bible in your hands, in book form, with book titles, chapter and verse numbers, page numbers, in a language you can read, at a reasonably affordable price, is a relatively recent development (starting @ 1600’s). A Bible with cross-references, study aids, footnotes, commentary, maps, etc. is probably less than 50 years old! Early Hebrew (Jewish) Bible ‘books’ (what Christians call the Old Testament) were on 20 - 30 foot long scrolls and lacked not only page numbers & chapter indications but also had no punctuation, vowels, and spaces between words! The most popular Hebrew (Jewish) Bible @ the time of Jesus was the “Septuagint” – a Greek translation. Remember Alexander the Great conquered the Middle East and elsewhere an “Hellenized’ the ‘Western world.’ 2) Discussing the Bible (breakout rooms for 10 minutes.

An ESV, HCSB or NASB is preferred. In class I will be using the NASB unless otherwise stated. If a King James or New King James is used, please choose a text that is edited with the NU text notes if possible. A paraphrased Bible is not a good choice for this study. 2.

Because it is hard, or we don’t even know how to begin, we frequently just don’t begin! However, God has given His Word to us for a reason. We would be wise to heed it. As we look at prophecy, it is helpful to have some insight into its nature. Prophets see events; they do not necessarily see the time between the events.

  • 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.

  • The Sign of Ezekiel's Trembling: the Need to Reject Errant Messages to Heed God (Ezekiel 12:17-28)
    THRU THE BIBLE EXPOSITION Ezekiel: Effective Ministry To The Spiritually Rebellious Part X: The Sign Of Ezekiel's Trembling: The Need To Reject Errant Messages To Heed God (Ezekiel 12:17-28) I. Introduction A. People who are very rebellious toward God often hold to an errant belief about what is right and wrong because they have heeded an errant teacher with errant theology. Such blindness leads to a lack of concern over the directives and even warnings of Scripture or those who teach God's Word, a very dangerous state. B. To clarify the great need for sinners to reject errant messages and heed God's Word so as to repent of their sin, God had Ezekiel act out the sign of his trembling in Ezekiel 12:17-28. We view this event for our instruction: II. The Sign Of Ezekiel's Trembling: The Need To Reject Errant Messages To Heed God, Ezekiel 12:17-28. A. In yet another prophetic sign to the captives in Babylon, the Lord told Ezekiel to eat his food with "quaking" and to drink his water with "trembling" and "anxiety," Ezekiel 12:17-18 ESV. B. Ezekiel was to explain to his audience that this sign predicted what Jerusalem's inhabitants would experience: they would partake of their meals with "anxiety" and "dismay" when the land of Israel was stripped of all the valuables it contained in punishment for the violent sins of all who had dwelt in it, Ezekiel 12:19 ESV. C. The inhabited cities would be laid waste, the land be left desolate, and the people of Judah would realize that the Lord as the true God had performed this punishment of them because of their sin, Ezekiel 12:20.
