This study on Ezekiel’s prophecy uncovers two key figures in the Millennium: the priests and the prince. We’ll analyze the role of the priests, descendants of Zadok, who will be faithful in serving God. We discuss the purpose of the Millennial sacrifices and offerings, exploring how they are not for salvation, but for worship and fellowship between mortals and a holy God. This addresses the question of how future animal sacrifices are compatible with Jesus’s once-for-all sacrifice on the cross. We’ll also examine the important lesson of faithfulness and its consequences, drawing parallels to the choices we make today in our spiritual walks.

The video then shifts to the identity of the Prince mentioned in Ezekiel. We use biblical context from both Ezekiel and other books to identify the Prince as the resurrected King David. We explore how he will lead worship and govern in the Millennial Kingdom, subordinate to Jesus, the King of kings. We also address common questions about the Prince and his role.

Finally, we connect these ancient prophecies to our modern lives, using the example of Popeye the Sailor Man to illustrate a key spiritual truth. We discuss the importance of relying on the indwelling Holy Spirit as our constant supply, not just a last resort. This teaching is a reminder that we can’t live the Christian life in our own strength. It’s only by God’s Spirit within us that we can live a life of victory and obedience. This video is for anyone seeking to study the Bible, understand biblical prophecy, or grow in their Christian faith. Join us as we uncover these fascinating truths from the book of Ezekiel.

The Lord stuns everyone when He tells Ezekiel that the priests will perform animal sacrifices in the Millennial Temple.

This video is an essential watch for anyone interested in Bible prophecy, end times, and Calvary Chapel teaching. We will take you on a journey from Eden to eternity, tracing the concept of “sacred space” throughout the Scriptures. From the Tabernacle in the wilderness to Solomon’s magnificent Temple, we’ll see God’s consistent desire to dwell with His people. We will examine the departure of God’s glory from the Temple in Ezekiel’s time and the triumphant return of His glory through the East Gate in the future.

We’ll break down the detailed architectural plans for the Millennial Temple and discuss the purpose of its walls, courts, and sacrificial system. Discover how this future Temple relates to the Tribulation Temple and the New Jerusalem, where there is no Temple at all. This study is packed with scriptural insights and a clear, verse-by-verse examination of a complex and fascinating topic.

Learn about the function of animal sacrifices in the Millennium—not for salvation, but for the restoration of fellowship. We will compare the unique position of the Church today, as the Temple of the Holy Spirit, with the experience of mortal believers during the Millennium. This teaching will bring clarity to a challenging passage of Scripture and strengthen your understanding of God’s redemptive plan for all of humanity.

Join us as we study God’s Word with the intention of growing in our faith and knowledge. Whether you are new to the Bible or a long-time student, this teaching on Ezekiel’s vision of the Temple will equip you with a deeper appreciation for God’s unwavering commitment to His people and His plan for the future.

Many speculate about the identity of the nations and the timing of the events described in Ezekiel 38-39. With the current global climate, especially the “drone war” and even surprising military tactics like Russia utilizing horses, some might jump to conclusions. However, as we examine the text, we will see that identifying “Rosh,” “Meshech,” and “Tubal” with modern-day Russia and its cities, while popular, relies heavily on pronunciation and lacks strong historical and linguistic support. We seek to approach this Bible study with careful consideration, acknowledging the complexities and avoiding dogmatic interpretations, as even respected scholars like Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum highlight the difficulty of these passages.

Our aim is to un-dogmatically explore the indications within Ezekiel 38-39 that suggest this conflict may align with events at the very end of the Millennial Kingdom, just before the New Heaven and New Earth. We will carefully read and discuss verses 1-6, identifying the possible locations of “Magog,” “Persia,” “Ethiopia,” “Libya,” “Gomer,” and “Togarmah,” and why connecting “Rosh” to Russia is more speculative than some assume.

Beyond the geographical and timing debates, this sermon and Bible study will also take a devotional pause to consider the powerful concept of God putting “hooks in the jaws” of invaders, drawing them to Israel for His glory. We’ll draw parallels to the story of Job and Satan, revealing how God uses seemingly adverse situations to showcase His faithfulness through His servants. This section offers a moment of inspiration for those grappling with burdens, reminding us that even in difficult circumstances, God is at work.

We will then return to the text, examining Ezekiel 38:7-12, where Israel is depicted dwelling safely in “unwalled villages” during “latter years,” having been “brought back from many people.” This peaceful setting, which goes beyond modern defense systems like the Iron Dome, strongly suggests a post-Tribulation, Millennium context. We’ll also consider Ezekiel 38:13-23, noting the global scale of God’s judgment and the “era-ending” effects described.

A crucial point of discussion will be Ezekiel 39:9-10, which describes the burning of ancient weapons like “bows and arrows” for seven years. This seemingly anachronistic detail, often ridiculed by critics, may in fact be key to understanding the “when” of this prophecy. We will contrast this with the prophecy in Isaiah about beating swords into plowshares (Isaiah 2:4) and Joel’s description of beating plowshares into swords (Joel 3:10), offering insights into the type of weaponry present at this future time.

Finally, we will connect Ezekiel 38-39 with Revelation chapter 20, where John also speaks of “Gog and Magog” being released at the end of the Millennium for a final battle. We’ll explore how these two accounts, from different biblical authors, may describe the same event from different perspectives, supporting a literal interpretation. This Calvary Chapel style Bible study humbly seeks to present a cohesive understanding of these challenging yet encouraging Bible prophecies. As we conclude, we remember that these chapters were originally given to encourage a scattered people, reminding us that Christians have a hope that comes from the future.

In their darkest hour, the LORD illuminated the future regathering & regeneration of Israel to the Promised Land using two figures: A valley of dry bones & two sticks.

This Christian sermon explores the desolate state of Israel’s land during their Babylonian exile, a time when the Promised Land became uninhabitable due to their disobedience. We’ll examine Ezekiel’s prophecy to the “mountains of Israel” (Ezekiel 36:1), revealing God’s unwavering commitment to His covenant with Abraham and His promise to restore His people to their ancient homeland. Discover how this biblical prophecy speaks to the enduring significance of the land of Israel and refutes common misunderstandings.

We delve into the physical regathering of the Jewish people, a remarkable historical event that aligns with Ezekiel’s words (Ezekiel 36:24). From the Zionist movement to the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, we explore the miraculous fulfillment of these ancient scriptures. This Bible prophecy update highlights how God, for His holy name’s sake, has brought His people back from all nations, transforming a desolate land into a fruitful one.

The study continues into Ezekiel 37, where we encounter two vivid illustrations of God’s plan for Israel’s future. First, the vision of the valley of dry bones (Ezekiel 37:1-14) powerfully symbolizes the national and spiritual revival of Israel. We discuss how these dry bones coming to life represent both the physical restoration of the nation and a future spiritual awakening, where God will give them a new heart and His Spirit. This Bible study emphasizes that Israel’s physical return has occurred, and we look forward to the promised spiritual indwelling.

Second, the prophecy of the two sticks (Ezekiel 37:15-22) beautifully illustrates the future reunification of the divided kingdoms of Israel and Judah under one king, David (Ezekiel 37:24-25). This end-times prophecy points to a time when Israel will no longer be divided but will dwell securely in their land with God’s sanctuary among them forevermore.

Whether you are studying the Bible, interested in Bible prophecy, or seeking Christian insights, this sermon offers encouragement from God’s promises for Israel’s future, which can also provide hope for our present. We aim to humbly share the truth of God’s Word, showing how He is truly “the lifter of my head” (Psalm 3:3), ready to gently guide us home.

Keywords: Ezekiel 36, Ezekiel 37, Bible study, Bible prophecy, end times, Israel, dry bones, reunification of Israel, Jewish return, land of Israel, Old Testament, Christian sermon, Calvary Chapel, spiritual restoration, national revival, Abrahamic covenant, New Covenant, God’s promises, Messianic prophecy, King David, Christian faith, spirituality, Jesus, God’s Word.

In Ezekiel 34, we uncover God’s indictment against the unfaithful shepherds of Israel – leaders who neglected and exploited His flock. This section vividly contrasts their corrupt practices with the sacrificial care of the Good Shepherd. Learn what God requires of those entrusted with spiritual oversight and how these timeless principles apply to all forms of leadership today. Discover how the neglect of the flock led to their scattering, a Bible prophecy fulfilled in the Jewish diaspora and reversed with the restoration of Israel in 1948. This is a vital lesson for anyone interested in Bible teaching on stewardship and spiritual health.

We then transition to a detailed look at End Times terminology, providing a clear glossary of key concepts like the Resurrection and Rapture of the Church, the Seven-Year Great Tribulation, the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, the Millennial Kingdom, and Eternity. This segment is essential for Bible prophecy explained in an accessible way, helping you understand the sequence of future events as outlined in Scripture.

Ezekiel 34 also paints a beautiful picture of God’s personal intervention, declaring, “I myself will search and find my sheep.” This foreshadows the Second Coming of Christ and His role as the ultimate Shepherd, gathering His scattered people and administering justice. We’ll explore the judgment between the sheep and the goats, a significant event at the end of the Tribulation that determines entry into the Millennial Kingdom.

Chapter 35 then introduces Mount Seir (Edom), a historical enemy of Israel, and God’s judgment against their eternal hatred. This prophecy, already fulfilled, sets the stage for a compelling discussion about a future, critical role for this region. Discover why Petra, located in Mount Seir, is believed by Calvary Chapel and other evangelical dispensationalists to be a significant “bug-out” location for the Jewish remnant during the Great Tribulation, when the Antichrist defiles the Temple. This fascinating connection brings together ancient prophecy and future events, highlighting God’s faithfulness and protective care.

Learn what it means to be a “well-fed, well-loved, and protected sheep” in the care of the Good Shepherd, even amidst challenging times.

We begin by drawing parallels between the solemn “End of Watch” tradition in law enforcement and Ezekiel’s own “End of Watch-man” experience. Discover how God’s prophet, Ezekiel, delivered challenging prophecies to the exiled Jews in Babylon, warning them of Jerusalem’s impending fall, a message they initially rejected. Using the clear, conversational New Living Translation, we break down Ezekiel 33:1-6, examining the watchman’s responsibility to warn the people and the consequences of their disobedience.

Learn why God, not man, chose Ezekiel as a watchman, a crucial lesson for believers today about divine calling versus human ambition. We emphasize that God’s exhortation to Ezekiel was ultimately for the benefit of the Jews, highlighting the personal responsibility of individuals to heed divine warnings. We clarify that the physical consequences described in Ezekiel 33, such as captivity and death, are distinct from the concept of eternal life.

As God commissions Ezekiel to a second watch, we explore what it means to be given “more to do” in service to the Lord, encouraging every Christian to seek God’s will for their lives. We then unpack Ezekiel 33:8-9, distinguishing between physical death and eternal salvation, reinforcing that repentance leads to life. We also address the false notion that God condemns individuals for another’s disobedience.

Delving into Ezekiel 33:10-11, we confront the people’s self-pity and blame, revealing God’s true desire for sinners to turn from their wicked ways and live. This section offers powerful insight into God’s character and His long-suffering love, echoing 2 Peter 3:9. We engage in a discussion about the meaning of “all” coming to repentance, advocating for the “whosoever will believe” perspective.

The video then examines Ezekiel 33:12-16, exposing the futility of relying on past righteousness or superficial worship. We use a compelling analogy of modern legal frameworks to illustrate why God does not overlook sin based on general obedience. These verses paint a picture of restoration and blessing in the land for those who genuinely repent and obey God’s life-giving laws.

We discuss the people’s accusation that “The Lord isn’t doing what’s right” (Ezekiel 33:17-20), asserting that it is they who are failing to act righteously. The video powerfully recounts the moment a survivor confirms “The city has fallen” (Ezekiel 33:21-22), marking a pivotal shift and the end of Ezekiel’s period of muteness.

Further, we analyze the survivors’ misguided claim to the land based on Abraham’s legacy (Ezekiel 33:24-26), contrasted with God’s stern judgment against their idolatry, murder, and adultery. This leads into the dire consequences prophesied in Ezekiel 33:27-29, where the land’s complete destruction signifies the beginning of “The Time of the Gentiles,” a period that continues to this day until Christ’s return.

Finally, we explore the people’s superficial interest in Ezekiel’s messages (Ezekiel 33:30-33), highlighting the danger of hearing God’s word without acting on it. The video concludes with a tender reflection on Ezekiel’s faithfulness and a powerful exhortation for Church Age believers: Are we watchmen today? Learn how we fulfill this role by heeding “one another” verses, exercising spiritual gifts, and eagerly watching for the Lord’s return. This sermon provides ten New Testament encouragements for our watch, emphasizing purification and steadfast hope in Christ’s imminent appearing. Get ready to strengthen your faith and deepen your understanding of God’s sovereign plan!

This chapter of Ezekiel unfolds in four key segments. First, we examine the rebuke of the Prince of Tyre, historically Ethbaal III, for his audacious claim of divinity. Discover how his earthly pride mirrors a deeper spiritual arrogance. Secondly, we confront the chilling reality of a supernatural menace, identified as the King of Tyre, operating within the unseen realm. This section delves into the nature and influence of demonic forces as revealed in scripture.

Next, we turn our attention to the judgment pronounced upon Sidon, Tyre’s sister city, highlighting God’s sovereignty over all nations. Finally, we conclude with the glorious future promise of Israel’s restoration, a prophecy that ultimately points towards the certainty of the Millennial Kingdom under the reign of Jesus Christ.

Drawing parallels to Loki’s boast in the face of the Hulk, we consider the Prince of Tyre’s “puny god” delusion. We analyze verses 1-10, exploring Ethbaal’s hubris in claiming divine status amidst his maritime power, perhaps even likening himself to Poseidon or Triton. We contrast his arrogance with the wisdom and faithfulness of Daniel, a captive who served God even in a hostile environment. Just as Paul turned his Roman imprisonment into a powerful ministry, Daniel’s captivity was within the Lord’s hands.

The temptation of becoming “like God,” the very lie from the Garden of Eden, continues to plague humanity. While we may not overtly seek worship, unbelievers often live as the ultimate authority in their own lives. Even believers can fall into this trap when worldly desires take precedence over Jesus.

We explore the significance of “the mountain of God” and its potential connection to Mount Hermon, the site where rebellious angels, according to Enoch, descended and interacted with humanity, leading to the Nephilim. This location, near Caesarea-Philippi, was even referred to by some Hebrews as “The Gates of Hell,” adding profound context to Jesus’ declaration that these gates would not prevail against His church.

The fall of this glorious cherub, driven by pride in his beauty, led to his banishment from God’s presence. We connect this account with Isaiah 14, noting how both prophets speak of this event, one as future and the other as past, highlighting God’s eternal perspective.

Expanding on Angelology, we touch upon Deuteronomy 32:8-9 (as interpreted by the Dead Sea Scrolls and Septuagint), which speaks of God disinheriting the nations at Babel and assigning them to “Sons of God,” angelic beings. We mention the Prince of Persia and the Prince of Greece from the book of Daniel, suggesting a spiritual battleground behind earthly powers, with Michael as the protector of Israel.

Finally, we examine the prophecy against Sidon (Ezekiel 28:20-24), a nation marked by its contempt for Israel, and the beautiful promise of Israel’s restoration and security in the Millennial Kingdom (Ezekiel 28:25-26), a tangible, thousand-year reign of Christ following the Great Tribulation.

Just as the Mind Flayer battles for minds in the Upside Down, the true battle in our world is for our minds. We conclude by referencing 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, urging believers to stand firm in the armor of God against the lies of the enemy, the same lie of self-deification that began in Eden. Stand firm in the truth!

For her many transgressions, the ancient commercial city of Tyre was reduced to a rock upon which fishermen spread their nets.

In Ezekiel 26-27, God pronounces judgment on Tyre, a Phoenician city known for its economic dominance and moral corruption. We examine how Tyre’s obsession with wealth—gold, silver, precious stones, and slaves—led to its downfall, as prophesied by Ezekiel and fulfilled through Nebuchadnezzar’s siege and Alexander the Great’s conquest. Learn how Tyre’s idolatry of mammon, exemplified by figures like Jezebel and the trafficking of Jews, mirrors modern materialism and spiritual dangers. This sermon draws parallels to Jesus’ teaching, “You cannot serve God and mammon,” and highlights the biblical prophecy fulfilled with stunning accuracy, as noted by Peter Stoner’s probability analysis.

This Bible study is ideal for Christians, Bible prophecy enthusiasts, and those seeking expository sermons on Christianity, Jesus, and Old Testament teachings. We delve into Ezekiel’s vivid imagery of Tyre as a shipwrecked vessel, explore the spiritual implications of mammon as a demonic force, and offer practical applications for living a life devoted to God. Discover how generosity, as David Jeremiah suggests, counters the lure of wealth and aligns with God’s call to love Him and others.

Welcome to our ongoing Old Testament Bible study series, where we explore the book of Ezekiel chapter by chapter. In this expository sermon, “Ezekiel 25:1-17 – Don’t Fight The Hand That Saves You,” we unpack God’s outstretched hand—a powerful gesture of judgment, mercy, and discipline. This Calvary Chapel teaching dives into Ezekiel 25, where God declares His hand against Ammon, Edom, Moab, Seir, and the Philistines for their hostility toward Israel. These nations faced destruction for their spite, a sobering reminder of God’s justice against sin and those who oppose His chosen people.

Ezekiel 25 reveals two key truths: God stretches His arm out to destroy your enemies and to discipline His children. From Ammon’s gloating over Israel’s fall to Edom’s vengeance and the Philistines’ ancient hatred, God’s judgment was final—none of these nations survive today. Yet, this passage also reflects His mercy. The same outstretched hand that delivers justice offers salvation, as seen in Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross. This sermon connects Old Testament prophecy to Christian living, showing how God’s discipline refines believers while His justice protects them.

For Bible study enthusiasts, this video explores the historical context of Ezekiel’s prophecies, including the Ammonites, Moabites, and Edomites, and their relevance to God’s covenant with Israel. We also examine the spiritual application: just as God judged these nations, He calls us to repentance and restoration, not retribution. Whether you’re seeking Christian devotionals or deep Scripture analysis, this teaching offers practical insights for living out your faith today.

Join us as we study Ezekiel 25:1-17 verse by verse, reflecting on God’s dual role as Judge and Father. Perfect for those interested in expository preaching, Bible prophecy, and growing in Christian faith. Subscribe for weekly Bible study videos from a Calvary Chapel perspective, and share this sermon to encourage others in their walk with Christ. Don’t miss this powerful lesson on trusting the hand that saves—God’s outstretched arm is both a warning to the rebellious and a promise to the redeemed. Stretch your hands upward in rejoicing, for Jesus has overcome!
