Sooner or later someone is going to tell you that the word “Trinity” is not found in the Bible. Thatʼs correct. A lot of words arenʼt found in the Bible. For example, the word “bible” is not found in the Bible, but we use it anyway to describe the Bible. Next time someone tells you that “Trinity” is not found in the Bible, tell them they are using a word to describe the Bible that isnʼt found in the Bible! (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Ezekiel is going to fall down at the glory of God only to be lifted up by the Holy Spirit so he doesnʼt miss recording anything. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Our text looks past the Tribulation Temple to the Millennial Temple. Priests will serve in it as well. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Ezekiel had missed an opportunity. At the start of our studies we noted that although Ezekiel was a priest, he was exiled to Babylon before he was of age to actually serve in the Temple at Jerusalem. To say it was a disappointment would be an understatement. But now, as his visions are concluding and his book is nearing its end, Ezekiel is getting a glimpse of the future Temple, the Millennial Temple. He saw it before any other Israelite, priest or otherwise. Not only that, he was guided on his tour by the Lord Himself. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

A man with a measuring rod in his hand takes Ezekiel on a tour of the future Millennial Temple. Itʼs none other than the Lord Himself. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Everyone who reads the last nine chapters of Ezekiel asks and therefore must answer this question: Will there be animal sacrifices in the Temple during the future Millennial Kingdom on the earth? (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Ezekiel thirty-nine goes deeper into certain details of chapter thirty-eight. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Reading about what is going to happen to the armies of Gog when they invade from the north reminded me of the futility of Das Boot. Before ever getting near Israel there is a mighty earthquake. Itʼs so disorienting that the soldiers turn upon one another and kill one another. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Itʼs going to be God versus Gog. Ezekiel was told to “prophesy against him,” against Gog, the captain of these would be conquerers. We might call him ʻCaptain Hooked,ʼ because God says He will “put hooks into [his] jaws, and lead [him] out. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Prophecy expert Mark Hitchcock says, “By far, the most controversial issue in Ezekiel 38-39 is the timing of the invasion. The specific time of the invasion in Ezekiel 38 is difficult to determine.” I should explain that we believe that this prophecy is literal and historical. In other words, it describes a real military campaign against Israel that happens sometime in human history. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)
