The Dry Bones Prophecy

10/12/22 • 35 min

Today we'll look at two powerful chapters in Ezekiel, chapters 36-37. God spoke through the prophet about a future day when He would gather Israel from all of the nations, establish them again in their own land, and unify them as one people. In those days, the Lord would take a dead nation that had lost all hope and restore her miraculously into a nation again. People would come from the four corners of the earth to rejoin their national homeland.
Likewise, we'll see that in the midst of those days, God would establish a national Davidic leader who would be a forever king to them, would establish his Temple and Tabernacle in the midst of their holy city, and would pour out His Spirit among them. These things are close, but haven't happened yet.
Many people believe that the regathering of Israel is the budding of the fig tree from Luke 21 and Matthew 24, and that their regathering as a nation on May 15, 1948 was a prophetic time marker that identified the generation who would see the rapture! Let's carefully look at the texts and be encouraged by the miracle of modern day Israel.

The Jewish Wedding Custom and Christ's Return

Send us a text

In this episode we'll look at an often overlooked and misunderstood concept in the New Testament that relates to the coming of Christ in a spiritual mystery, the Jewish Wedding Custom. This is one of those cultural teachings that helps us to unlock the New Testament, and even the teachings in the New Testament about the return of Christ. Remember, when we read the New Testament, we've go to see it through the lenses of the original customs and cultures.
There are three parts of a Jewish Wedding Custom...

The Covenant: A legally binding marriage is formed between a groom and a bride's father.
The Consummation: At a future time set by the father, the groom will return to fetch his bride and take her to his house.
The Celebration: After the consummation, which is the physical union of the bride and groom in the house of the bride, a celebration follows of all who are involved together in the marriage to celebrate the union.

"For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Ephesians 5:31-32 NKJV

The Gog/Magog Invasion

Send us a text

This week we'll continue our look at the Ezekiel prophecies. The Lord showed Ezekiel that in the latter days, after the regathering of Israel into the land (1948), that the Lord would gather armies from the north to invade Israel for plunder. Among these nations are Russia, Turkey, Afghanistan, Iran, and several others who will form a military alliance to invade Israel.
It would seem that depleted resources and shortages may have some impact on their desire to travel south and invade the Holy Land, but the ultimate motivation is the work of God to draw them into judgment. As they come, the Lord will intervene and destroy these armies before they get there, and both Israel and the world will glory in His name.
The Gog/Magog invasion is not the same as Armageddon. As we finish the chapter, we'll talk about some striking differences between the two.
