Then God gave a promise to the exiles. He would gather them from the countries where they had been scattered. He would give them the land of Israel again.

Ezekiel 11 · Grade 4

A Heart of Flesh

Name Date

Read and Think

Ezekiel says the Spirit brought him to the east gate of Yahweh's house. There twenty-five men, leaders of the people, gave wicked counsel. They claimed the time was not near to build houses and that the city was a cauldron and they were the meat, meaning they felt safe inside its walls.

God told Ezekiel to prophesy against them. Their false confidence would fail, and judgment would come. While Ezekiel prophesied, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Ezekiel fell on his face and asked whether God would make a full end of the remnant of Israel.

God answered with hope. The people in Jerusalem looked down on the exiles, but God would be a sanctuary to the exiles for a little while. He would gather them and give them one heart and a new spirit, replacing the stony heart with a heart of flesh. Then the glory went up to the mountain east of the city, and Ezekiel told the captives everything.

Show What You Know

  1. What did the leaders mean by calling the city a cauldron and themselves the meat?

  2. What did Ezekiel ask after Pelatiah died?

  3. What did God promise to be to the exiles?

  4. Where did the glory of God go at the end of the vision?

Think About It

  1. A stony heart is hard and unresponsive to God. What would it look like for God to give you a heart of flesh?

  2. The people in Jerusalem looked down on the exiles, but God was with the exiles. How can God be with people who seem left out?

Ezekiel 11 · Grade 5

A New Spirit Within

Name Date

Read and Think

Ezekiel 11 closes the temple vision with both judgment and hope. Ezekiel says the Spirit lifted him to the east gate, where twenty-five men, including Jaazaniah the son of Azzur and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people, gave wicked counsel. Their saying that the city was the cauldron and they were the meat expressed false security: they believed they were the choice portion, safe within Jerusalem, while the exiles were the scraps thrown away.

God turned their picture around. Those who had filled the city with violence would not find it a safe pot; they would be brought out and judged at the border of Israel. As Ezekiel prophesied, Pelatiah died, and Ezekiel fell on his face, crying out, Ah Lord Yahweh! Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel? The prophet's heart for his people shows through even in judgment.

God's answer is one of the great promises of the book. The Jerusalem leaders had told the exiles to go far away from Yahweh, but God said he himself would be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they had come. He would gather them and give them one heart and a new spirit, taking the stony heart out of their flesh and giving them a heart of flesh, so they would walk in his statutes. They will be my people, and I will be their God. Then the glory left the city for the mountain on the east. In the New Testament, 2 Corinthians 5:17 says: Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.

Show What You Know

  1. What did the cauldron saying reveal about the Jerusalem leaders' attitude?

  2. How did Ezekiel respond to Pelatiah's death?

  3. How did God reverse the leaders' claim about the exiles?

  4. What New Testament verse speaks of becoming a new creation?

Think About It

  1. The leaders felt safe because of where they lived, not because they trusted God. Where do people today look for false security?

  2. God promised to change hearts from the inside. What change would you ask God to make in your heart?
