Our study finds Ezekiel continuing to give parables to his fellow captives in Babylon. The parable of Jerusalem as a useless vine was in chapter 15. The parable of the Lord’s faithless bride is in chapter 16. The parable of two eagles and a vine, chapter 17. The parables of souls who sin shall die, chapter 18. in all these parables we see God‘s nature. He says that he takes no pleasure in having to judge anyone, or see the ultimate death of anyone. A final plea to turn and live, meaning repent for your salvation.
