12/21/2024 – Day 181 – Ezekiel – Chapters 13 – 18 / 17: 22 – 24 – This is not symbolism but the prophesied everlasting Kingdom of God!
The post for this reading on 08/27/22 not only gives a summary of each chapter but includes a commentary on 17: 22 – 24, a prophecy of God’s Kingdom, from the travesty of abhorrent sin of God’s people in these chapters. Well, I think this calls for us to take an overview of all the prophetic books – from Ezra to Malachi, in Alistair Begg’s two sermons: “The Prophesied Kingdom” , part one and part two.
And I will include our fellowship generating questions. Perhaps, we can go a year or so on this thread, layers of discussion. Or maybe we pick it up after we complete our entire read through.

Questions for fellowship generation, the lifelong sanctification process:
- What does the text reveal about God’s character?
- How has this reading generated prayer for you and/or us?
- What themes stand out to you in this bible study?
- How does our reading fit into the bigger picture (creation, the fall, restoration, etc.)?
- What verse(s) jumped out at you like never before? Is it explainable at this point?
- Do you have any questions you would like to put before the group as to how to interpret any particular verse(s) in our reading. Let scripture testify to scripture: Share with us where you sense contradiction between passages elsewhere.
- What did you find convicting and inspiring at the same time? Share with us how the Spirit of God is working within you as a messenger, both within and outside of our fellowship group.
- Share with the group how our study is calling or confirming to you a new mission to glorify God in our times.
Thoughts? Reflections? Questions? Prayer.
Soli Deo Gloria!
