Day 61 ~ International consequences

  • Ezekiel 22:30 - men to "stand in the gap"
  • 23:20 - what does this mean? kinda gross
  • 24:2 - Babylonian seige against Jerusalem begins
  • Chapter 25 - international destruction to come for vengeance against Judah and Israel - Ammon, Moab, Edom, Philistia
  • 26-28 - Tyre - because the mocked the fallen Jerusalem, destroyed. Wonder where this falls in historical records - about 1 or 2 years after Jerusalem is seiged. What is modern Tyre? Haifa?
  • 28:12ff - Tyre was perfection , in Eden, covered by Cherubs, however their wealth led them to violence and sin and they are cast off the mountain of God. Huh? who started Tyre? Abel?
  • 29-32 - Egypt - because they claimed they created, they will be scattered for 40 years and returned lowly. 17 years later, Babylon struggles against Tyre (29:18). Egypt will be given to them as reward for working for God.
  • 33:11 - God gets no pleasure in the death of the wicked
  • 33:21 - Jerusalem captured by Babylon (third and final time)
  • 33:22 - Ezekiel no longer mute. When did he become mute?
  • 34 - the Lord is the Shepherd - without Him, the flock spread.
  • 34:26 - showers of blessing.
