• WATCHMAN

3
WARN THE PEOPLE

• PUT A WATCHMAN OUT TO BLOW THE HORN
• IF HE SEES THE SWORD COMING AND THE PEOPLE
  DONT LISTENTHEIR BLOOD WILL BE ON THEIR OWN
  HEAD AND THE WATCHMAN WILL HAVE DELIVERD HIS SOUL
• IF THE WATCHMAN SEE THE SWORD COMING AND DOES
  NOT WARN THE PEOPLE AND THEIR BLOOD IS SHED, THE
  PEOPLE DIE FOR THEIR OWN SINS BUT THE WATCHMAN
  WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR BLOODSHED

4
JERUSALEM REJECTING THE WAY OF THE LORD

• Yet your people say, The way of the Lord is
  not just. But it is their way that is not just.
  If a righteous person turns from their
  righteousness and does evil, they will die for
  it. And if a wicked person turns away from their
  wickedness and does what is just and right, they
  will live by doing so. Yet you Israelites say,
  The way of the Lord is not just. But I will
  judge each of you according to your own ways.

5
FALL OF JERUSALEM

• 12TH YEAR/10TH MONTH OF THEIR EXILE
• WORD CAME THAT JERUSALEM HAD FALLEN

  A LARGE GROUP OF HIS PEOPLE

• DEPEND ON YOUR OWN SWORD
• DEPEND ON YOUR NEIGHBORS
• WORSHIP IDOLS AND OTHER GODS
• JERUSALEM WILL FALL BY THE SWORD (WAR)

7
ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

• My people come to you, as they usually do, and
  sit before you to hear your words, but they do
  not put them into practice. Their mouths speak of
  love, but their hearts are greedy for unjust
  gain. Indeed, to them you are nothing more than
  one who sings love songs with a beautiful voice
  and plays an instrument well, for they hear your
  words but do not put them into practice.
• When all this comes trueand it surely
  willthen they will know that a prophet has been
  among them.

LORD AGAINST THE SHEPHERDS

• PROPHECY AGAINST THE SHEPHERDS OF ISRAEL
• WOE TO THEM! THEY DID NOT TAKE CARE OF THEIR
  FLOCKLOOKED OUT FOR THEMSELVES
• THEY WERE LOST SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE
  EARTH NO ONE LOOKED FOR THEM

10
LORD BECOMES THEIR SHEPHERD

• I myself will search for my sheep and look after
  them. As a shepherd looks after his scattered
  flock when he is with them, so will I look after
  my sheep.
• I will rescue them from all the places where
  they were scattered on a day of clouds and
  darkness. I will bring them out from the nations
  and gather them from the countries, and I will
  bring them into their own land.
• I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel,
  in the ravines and in all the settlements in the
  land. I will tend them in a good pasture, and the
  mountain heights of Israel will be their grazing
  land. There they will lie down in good grazing
  land, and there they will feed in a rich pasture
  on the mountains of Israel.
• I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie
  down, declares the Sovereign LORD. I will search
  for the lost and bring back the strays. I will
  bind up the injured and strengthen the weak, but
  the sleek and the strong I will destroy. I will
  shepherd the flock with justice.

11
THE LAST FINAL SHEPHERD

• LORD WILL JUDGE THE FAT SHEEP FROM THE SLIM
  SHEEP

  THEM

  THINGS TO BE

13
EZEKIEL 35

• EDOM
• (JORDAN/SAUDI ARABIA)

14
AGAINST MT. SEIR

• PROPHECY AGAINST EDOM OR MT. SEIR
• THE LORD IS AGAINST EDOM AND WILL TURN IT INTO A
  DESOLATE LAND
• Because you have said, These two nations
  (SAMARIA/JUDEAH) and countries will be ours and
  we will take possession of them, even though I
  the LORD was there, therefore as surely as I
  live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I will treat
  you in accordance with the anger and jealousy you
  showed in your hatred of them (ISRAEL) and I will
  make myself known among them when I judge you.

15
THE WHOLE EARTH REJOICES

• This is what the Sovereign LORD says While the
  whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.
  Because you rejoiced when the inheritance of
  Israel became desolate, that is how I will treat
  you. You will be desolate, Mount Seir, you and
  all of Edom. Then they will know that I am the
  LORD.

16
EZEKIEL 36
17
PROPHESY TO ISRAEL

• Because they have made you desolate, and
  swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be
  a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and
  ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are
  an infamy of the people
• LORD IS AGAINST IDUMEA (ARABIA/EDOM)
• AND ALL THE HEATHEN NATIONS THAT FOLLOW

18
ISRAEL RESTORED

• ISRAEL WILL PRODUCE BRANCHES AND FRUIT FOR MY
  PEOPLE
• MANY PEOPLE WILL LIVE IN ISRAEL
• TOWNS WILL BE REBUILT AND INHABITED
• They will possess you, and you will be their
  inheritance you will never again deprive them of
  their children.
• NO LONGER WILL YOU HEAR THE TAUNTS OF THE NATIONS
• NOR WILL YOU SUFFER FROM THOSE NATIONS THAT HAVE
  DONE YOU WRONG

19
FOR THE SAKE OF HIS NAME

• THE LORD WILL BRING BACK AND RESTORE THE NATION
  OF ISRAEL NOT FOR THEIR SAKE BUT FOR THE SAKE OF
  HIS NAME

20
JEWISH ENCYCLOPEDIA

• The shepherds hitherto placed over Israel have
  thriven, but have neglected their flock, which
  God will now take under His protection,
  appointing a new David as a shepherd over it. The
  Edomites, who have seized certain portions of the
  Holy Land, will be annihilated Israel will be
  restored that is, Judah and Joseph will be
  merged into one. The last on-slaught of the pagan
  world against the newly established kingdom of
  God will be victoriously repelled by the Almighty
  Himself, who will manifest His sanctity among the
  nations. The final division, embodying the
  celebrated vision of the new Temple and the new
  Jerusalem, contains a description of the future
  era of salvation with its ordinances and
  conditions, which are epitomized in the final
  sentence "And the name of the city from that day
  shall be, The Lord is there".

21
EZEKIEL 37DRY BONES
22
TAKEN TO A VALLEY OF BONES

• LORD TAKES EZEKIEL TO A VALLEY FULL OF BONES
• HE PASSED BY THEM AND SAW THEY WERE VERY DRY
• And He said unto me 'Son of man, can these bones
  live?' And I answered 'O Lord GOD, You know.
• 'Prophesy over these bones, and say unto them O
  ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD
• Thus says the Lord GOD unto these bones
• Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you,
  and you shall live.
• And I will lay strength upon you,
• and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you
  with skin,
• and put breath in you, and you shall live and
  you shall know that I am the LORD.

23
BONES COME ALIVE

• So I prophesied as I was commanded and as I
  prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a
  commotion, and the bones came together, bone to
  its bone. And I beheld, there were strength upon
  them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them
  above but there was no breath in them.
• Then said He unto me 'Prophesy unto the breath,
  prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath Thus
  says the Lord GOD Come from the four winds, O
  breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they
  may live.' So I prophesied as He commanded me,
  and the breath came into them, and they lived,
  and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great
  host.

24
THE BONES EXPLAINED

• EZEKIEL 3710 THESE BONES ARE THE WHOLE HOUSE OF
  ISRAEL
• They say Our bones are dried up, and our hope is
  lost we are clean cut off.
• Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to
  come up out of your graves, O My people and I
  will bring you into the land of Israel.
• And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have
  opened your graves, and caused you to come up out
  of your graves, O My people. And I will put My
  spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will
  place you in your own land and you shall know
  that I the LORD have spoken, and performed it,
  says the LORD.'

25
2 STICKS BECOMING 1

• Take a stick of wood and write on it, Belonging
  to Judah and the Israelites associated with him.
  
• Then take another stick of wood, and write on
  it, Belonging to Joseph (that is, to Ephraim)
  and all the Israelites associated with him.
• Join them together into one stick so that they
  will become one in your hand.

26
ISRAEL RETURNS AS ONE

• Wont you tell us what you mean by this?
• I am going to take the stick of Josephwhich is
  in Ephraims handand of the Israelite tribes
  associated with him, and join it to Judahs
  stick. I will make them into a single stick of
  wood, and they will become one in my hand.
• I will take the Israelites out of the nations
  where they have gone. I will gather them from all
  around and bring them back into their own land. I
  will make them one nation in the land, on the
  mountains of Israel.
• THEY WILL NEVER BE DIVIDED IN 2 KINGDOMS AGAIN
• I will save them from all their sinful
  backsliding, and I will cleanse them.

27
1 KING WILL RULE THE LAND

• THEY WILL BE RULED BY 1 KING FOREVER (KING
  DAVID)
• YOU WILL FOLLOW MY LAWS DECREES
• They will live in the land I gave to my servant
  Jacob, the land where your ancestors lived. They
  and their children and their childrens children
  will live there forever,
• David my servant will be their prince forever. I
  will make a covenant of peace with them it will
  be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them
  and increase their numbers, and I will put my
  sanctuary among them forever. My dwelling place
  will be with them I will be their God, and they
  will be my people. Then the nations will know
  that I the LORD make Israel holy, when my
  sanctuary is among them forever.

• After many days you will be called to arms. In
  latter years you will invade a land that has
  recovered from war, whose people were gathered
  from many nations to the mountains of Israel,
  which had long been desolate. They had been
  brought out from the nations, and now all of them
  live in safety. You and all your troops and the
  many nations with you will go up, advancing like
  a storm you will be like a cloud covering the
  land.

35
THE LORD ATTACKS

• Surely in that day there shall be a great
  shaking in the land of Israel so that the fishes
  of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the
  beasts of the field and all creeping things that
  creep upon the ground, and all the men that are
  upon the face of the earth, shall shake at My
  presence, and the mountains (Kingdoms) shall be
  thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and
  every wall shall fall to the ground. And I will
  call for a sword against him throughout all my
  mountains (Kingdoms), says the Lord GOD every
  man's sword shall be against his brother. And I
  will plead against him with pestilence and with
  blood and I will cause to rain upon him, and
  upon his bands, and upon the many peoples that
  are with him, an overflowing shower, and great
  hailstones, fire, and brimstone. Thus will I
  magnify Myself, and sanctify Myself, and I will
  make Myself known in the eyes of many nations
  and they shall know that I am the LORD.

  against his fellow (GIDEONS WAR)
• MATTHEW 1034 Do not suppose that I have come
  to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to
  bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn
  a man against his father, a daughter against
  her mother, a daughter-in-law against her
  mother-in-law a mans enemies will be the
  members of his own household.
• GENESIS 1612 You shall name him Ishmael for the
  LORD has heard of your misery. He will be a wild

EZEKIEL VS. REVELATION

• EZEKIEL 3917-20 And as for you, son of man,
  thus says the Lord GOD, Speak to every sort of
  bird and to every beast of the field Assemble
  yourselves and come Gather together from all
  sides to My sacrificial meal Which I am
  sacrificing for you, A great sacrificial meal on
  the mountains of Israel, That you may eat flesh
  and drink blood. You shall eat the flesh of the
  mighty, Drink the blood of the princes of the
  earth, Of rams and lambs, Of goats and bulls, All
  of them fatlings of Bashan. You shall eat fat
  till you are full, And drink blood till you are
  drunk, At My sacrificial meal Which I am
  sacrificing for you. You shall be filled at My
  table With horses and riders, With mighty men And
  with all the men of war, says the Lord GOD. And
  I will set My glory among the nations, and all
  the nations shall see My judgment that I have
  executed, and My hand that I have laid upon them.
  So the house of Israel shall know that I am the
  LORD their God, from that day and forward.

REVELATION 1917-18 Then I saw an angel standing
in the sun and he cried with a loud voice,
saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of
heaven, Come and gather together for the supper
of the great God, that you may eat the flesh of
kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty
men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on
them, and the flesh of all people, free and
slave, both small and great.
44
JESUS RETURNS

• REVELATION 1911-16  I saw heaven standing
  open and there before me was a white horse, whose
  rider is called Faithful and True. With justice
  he judges and wages war. His eyes are like
  blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He
  has a name written on him that no one knows but
  he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in
  blood, and his name is the Word of God. The
  armies of heaven were following him, riding on
  white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and
  clean. Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword
  with which to strike down the nations. He will
  rule them with an iron scepter. He treads the
  winepress of the fury of the wrath of God
  Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has
  this name written    KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF
  LORDS.

45
NATIONS WILL KNOW THE LORD

• And I will set My glory among the nations, and
  all the nations shall see My judgment that I have
  executed, and My hand that I have laid upon them.
  
• So the house of Israel shall know that I am the
  LORD their God, from that day and forward.
• And the nations shall know that the house of
  Israel went into captivity for their iniquity,
  because they broke faith with Me, and I hid My
  face from them so I gave them into the hand of
  their adversaries, and they fell all of them by
  the sword.

46
ISRAEL WILL DWELL SAFELY

• Now will I bring back the captivity of Jacob, and
  have compassion upon the whole house of Israel
  and I will be jealous for My holy name. And they
  shall bear their shame, and all their breach of
  faith which they have committed against Me, when
  they shall dwell safely in their land, and none
  shall make them afraid when I have brought them
  back from the peoples, and gathered them out of
  their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them
  in the sight of many nations. And they shall know
  that I am the LORD their God, in that I caused
  them to go into captivity among the nations, and
  have gathered them unto their own land and
• I will leave none of them any more there
  neither will I hide My face any more from them
  for I have poured out My spirit upon the house of
  Israel

47
PSALM 833-5

• With cunning they conspire against your people
