The Lord told Ezekiel that Gog would attack Israel, and their allies would expect booty from Israel. God would let Gog invade Israel, and then every nation will know that the Lord is Holy.
God told Ezekiel to condemn Gog. God would set fire to Magog, and they would know that God is the Lord. Then Israel would collect Gog's weapons and use them for firewood. The Lord would have Israel bury Gog and his army and it would take 7 months to bury all the bodies. They would work until every bone had been buried. Birds and animals would feast on the bodies of warriors, sacrificed like sheep. Israel will see the brightness of God's glory and know that He is their God. Other nations will realize Israel was forced to leave their home because of their sin. God would show mercy to Israel, and bring them back, and bless them. Never again would God turn his back on his people.
Twenty five years after Jehoiachin's captivity, 14 years had passed since the Babylonians had invaded Jerusalem. The Lord showed Ezekiel visions of the new temple. He saw the outer wall that completely surrounded the temple, it was ten feet high and ten feet thick. He saw an outer courtyard, and gates that led to the inner courtyard. He saw the North Gate, the South Gate, and gates leading to the inner courtyard. He saw rooms for sacrificing animals, and rooms belonging to the priests. Then he saw the inner courtyard. Each if the places was measured by a man who sparkled like polished bronze, he held a tape measure in one hand, and a ten foot long measuring stick in the other. As he showed Ezekiel all these places as he measured them.
Tomorrow read Ezekiel 41-43
