BIBLE READING PLANNER

Ezekiel was a priest who was taken captive to Babylon,  where having been chosen by God he prophesied to the Jews in captivity

He was called upon to enact many prophecies. He was called a 'man of sign' and 'son of man', pointing forward to Jesus Christ.

A most exciting prophecy in chapter 37 relates to OUR DAYS! It describes the revival of Israel a modern miracle, and forecasts her coming King (verse 22). The land will however, once again be invaded from the North (chapter 38) but it is at this time that God will intervene to save His people. It is following this event that the Kingdom of God will finally be established in the earth.

DAILY NOTES

SUNDAY - Ezekiel 2 - God's message must be passed on, whatever the response from the hearers (verse 5).

MONDAY - Ezekiel 3 - Those who know the truth have a responsibility to tell others (verses 17-18). Ezekiel faithfully carried out this task.

TUESDAY - Ezekiel 18 - Individuals, once they understand, must accept responsibility for their own sins (verses 4, 32).

WEDNESDAY - Ezekiel 36 - This chapter describes the Arab opposition to the creation of Israel. Israel is protected for a time by God, even though they do not recognise His hand at work.

THURSDAY - Ezekiel 37 - The revival of Israel today, after nearly 2,000 years, is a miracle and a witness to God's word. What other explanation is there of Israel's dramatic revival?

FRIDAY - Ezekiel 38 - A forthcoming invasion of Israel from the North (verse 15) will be overthrown by Divine intervention (verses 18-23).
