The Great Tribulation #jacobstrouble #ezekiel #endtimemessage The prophet Ezekiel was was given a strange commission: Take a message to a people he would never see and do so at a time long after his death, about 2,600 years in the future. Yet we are told that he would be accountable for doing so. How? Two keys unlock it how to understand Ezekiel. Summary of the book of Ezekiel: Ezekiel was a young Jew when his city was defeated by the Chaldeans around 597 BC, after which he was taken to Babylon. It was during his captivity that he was given a series of messages to record. We read in the closing verses of chapter 2 that Ezekiel was to eat a prophetic scroll that contained bad and painful news. He was then to take its message to a certain people, and here we come to the first key that unlocks this mysterious book. 1. Ezekiel’s message was for the house of Israel. It’s really that simple. Ezekiel 3 1 Moreover He said to me, “Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.” Most people think Ezekiel wrote for the benefit of the Jews of his day. This assumption is an error—here’s why: The Jewish nation went into captivity to the Chaldean or Babylonian Empire in three waves. Ezekiel was deported in the second wave, and he speaks of Jerusalem's fall, which would take place in the third and final wave. However, he was to take the message and “go to the house of Israel.” Most people wrongly assume this means the Jews. It’s true that Jews are Israelites, but most Israelites are not Jews. This is critically important, and with immense implications for you and me. God’s promises to Abraham are even now being fulfilled before our eyes. • great national wealth and possessions. • spread abroad to the north, the east, the south, and the west • possess the gates of their enemies • have great military power These promises were not for their time—but for a time long into the future. Here is a little of what God promised Abraham’s grandson in Genesis 35 10-11. And God said to him, “Your name is Jacob; your name shall not be called Jacob anymore, but Israel shall be your name.” So He called his name Israel. Also God said to him: “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come from your body.” Israel he had 12 sons. One was Judah—the father of the Jews. Another son was Joseph. While Joseph’s descendants are Israelites, they did not descend from the Jews and are therefore not Jews. A simple lack of understanding of this biblical and historical fact has locked Ezekiel’s message to understanding. Genesis 49 1-2 Jacob [Israel] called his sons and said, “Gather together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days. Gather together and hear, you sons of Jacob, and listen to Israel your father.” We don’t have time to read what was prophesied for each son, but one is of particular interest for this program. Joseph's descendants were to inherit great amounts of territory, incredible mineral wealth, unmatched agricultural riches, and God-given military power to defend against all aggressors. Genesis 49:22-26 Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a well; his branches run over the wall. The archers have bitterly grieved him, shot at him and hated him. But his bow remained in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the Mighty God of Jacob… By the God of your father who will help you, and by the Almighty who will bless you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies beneath, blessings of the breasts and of the womb… up to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills. They shall be on the head of Joseph…. The promises to Israel’s sons were twofold. The promised Messiah would come from the son Judah, but the physical birthright blessings—not given through the Jews but through Joseph.
