The prophecy of the Old Testament challenges our modern ideas of human free will. We like to think that we decide our own future, that no one knows how we will choose, that we are the only ones in control of our lives. But we see through the Bible that both human free will and God’s foreknowledge of our actions are true. God knows the future, God knows how we will ultimately choose, even though He has given us true choice in the matter. The LORD gave Ezekiel the
knowledge to preach the future to the people in exile, Ezekiel was even to be a sign to them. He had to act out what was going to happen: he packed a few items and left his home, dug through a wall as though he were sneaking out of a besieged city, and then would explain these actions to those who saw. Every detail that Ezekiel gave was correct; the destruction of Jerusalem and the
defeat of her king happened in 586 BC, not long after Ezekiel had prophesied it.

The State of Israel; Ezekiel 19-21
Ezekiel was given a view of the state of Israel in his time, and it was anything but good. God’s people had consistently failed to follow Him. This truly displayed mankind’s need for the Messiah. God had given Israel everything she needed to follow Him, and she couldn’t. She serves as an example ...

God Cleans House; Ezekiel 22-24
In my time pastoring, I have had many conversations with people who have issues with Christianity. Sometimes a person’s main issue will be one of Christianity’s fundamental beliefs: That all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (ROMANS 3:23). In people who reject the concept of sin, I...
