In the written message of Ezekiel 39 (below), God speaks of lining up the creatures to partake in God’s sacrifice of mighty men gone wrong. And then, after keeping the Israelites in line, God plans to bring them back to relive promise times.

Remember, God keeps Israel “in line” because He wants Jesus to come to earth from that Messianic Line and He wants all the People to KNOW Him as Sovereign.

God pours out His Spirit so they will know He IS God… God promises a new Messianic King, and a New Covenant to resolve the broken one the people of Jacob’s descent couldn’t keep. Ezekiel speaks as a prophet and publicist of what really is going on. Israel has been kept to see God in God’s Time. 

We know Jesus DID come from this line in God’s TIme. We know this fulfilment, we know Jesus and we know He will come again. Let us live that way now, with Hope and devotion to God.

Amen

Ezekiel 39:17-29“Son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Call out to every kind of bird and all the wild animals: ‘Assemble and come together from all around to the sacrifice I am preparing for you, the great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel. There you will eat flesh and drink blood. You will eat the flesh of mighty men and drink the blood of the princes of the earth as if they were rams and lambs, goats and bulls—all of them fattened animals from Bashan. At the sacrifice I am preparing for you, you will eat fat till you are glutted and drink blood till you are drunk. At my table you will eat your fill of horses and riders, mighty men and soldiers of every kind,’ declares the Sovereign Lord.

“I will display my glory among the nations, and all the nations will see the punishment I inflict and the hand I lay on them. From that day forward the people of Israel will know that I am the Lord their God. And the nations will know that the people of Israel went into exile for their sin, because they were unfaithful to me. So I hid my face from them and handed them over to their enemies, and they all fell by the sword. I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and their offenses, and I hid my face from them.

“Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will now restore the fortunes of Jacob and will have compassion on all the people of Israel, and I will be zealous for my holy name. They will forget their shame and all the unfaithfulness they showed toward me when they lived in safety in their land with no one to make them afraid. When I have brought them back from the nations and have gathered them from the countries of their enemies, I will be proved holy through them in the sight of many nations.Then they will know that I am the Lord their God, for though I sent them into exile among the nations, I will gather them to their own land, not leaving any behind I will no longer hide my face from them, for I will pour out my Spirit on the people of Israel, declares the Sovereign Lord.”
