God is speaking to the land because of the devastation brought upon it by idolatrous priests that did not keep the 7 year covenant of God with it.  God will give Israel new hearts of flesh, they will return to the land and it will be blessed and rebuilt to show all the nations around that He is the Lord.  Paul prepares Timothy for what the false teachers are going to become and the difficult times to follow along with needing to contend for the faith.

Looking from Babylon Ezekiel brings God's word of truth declaring that the people who were to report of danger coming to Jerusalem failed to protect their flock so God Himself restored Israel, separating the the flock, restoring those who listens to His voice.  Timothy is being encouraged to shepherd the people out of bondage bringing the truth of the gospel which brings life.

Ezekiel declares, a lamentation will be chanted over Pharaoh and Egypt as they will fall to the same fate as Assyria by the king of Babylon.  Paul in this letter encourages Timothy to guard what has been entrusted to him by God, without shame or fear of man through timidity.

Judgement is coming against Egypt and any nation that supports her says the Lord. The letter to the Hebrews ends saying to them that Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.  Stand strong in your faith, don't turn back but trust in Him, your great High priest who offered himself to atone for your sin once for all time.

God's justice for Tyre and its king comes, with their puffed up hearts from great riches and a king that who considers himself to be a god, so it will cease to be.  With Jesus as our example last aside sin that entangles.  The jews were being called to recount their step to Christ and to press on looking at who Jesus is.

God has decided to pass judgement on the surrounding gentile nations for celebrating when Israel became desolate and Judah went into exile.

Ezekiel gets a word from the Lord that the slaughter of the people in Jerusalem has begun for playing the harlot with other nations.  This is the chapter of the great hall of fame recognizing the greatest men of faith, teaching al to live by faith.

The people of Israel are in Babylon and don't understand all that's happening to them is by God's hand because they were making no distinction between holy and unholy so God is going to wipe out all but a remnant.

Through Ezekiel God lays out to Israel all He has done for them throughout their history and how they continually turned away from Him, and yet He will restore their land and they will loathe themselves one day.  The Law cannot make perfect those who draw near through sacrifices for sins time after time.  There is no longer a need for daily sacrifices as Jesus, the Great High Priest made one sacrifice for all time for those with cleansed repentant hearts.

God speaks through Ezekiel teaching about immorality, and judges justly those according to their deeds.  The people needed instruction as they had so much to learn and unlearn after idol worship for so long.  The old and new covenants are laid out, the cleansing from sin was limited under the old covenant whereas under the new covenant of grace, Christ Himself entered into heaven, offered His blood once for all time.
