CONTEXT:

On the fifth of the month – it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin – the word of the Lord came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, by the River Kebar in the land of the Babylonians. (vv2,3)

By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion. … How can we sing the songs of the Lord while in a foreign land? (Psalm 137:1,4)

CONCLUSION:

“Our Father in Heaven”: let us remember His glory.

“Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles…” (1 Peter 2:11): but God is near us.

We pray “your kingdom come, your will be done” (Matthew 6:10): for the kingdom, the power and the glory are His, now and for ever. Amen.
