Ezekiel 21 · Grade 4

Until He Comes

Name Date

Read and Think

God told Ezekiel to set his face toward Jerusalem and prophesy against the sanctuaries and the land. Judgment was coming, and God pictured it as a sword drawn from its sheath that would not return. Because the people kept refusing to turn, the warning was now certain.

God told Ezekiel to sigh before the people with a broken heart and with bitterness. When they asked why, he was to say it was because of the news that was coming. Ezekiel then drew a map showing the king of Babylon at a fork in the road, choosing between Ammon and Jerusalem. He would choose Jerusalem.

God spoke to the wicked prince of Israel, Zedekiah. His crown would be removed. What was low would be exalted, and what was high would be brought low. God would overturn the kingdom until he comes whose right it is, and God would give it to him. Christians have read this as pointing to a true King from David's line.

  • God said He would humble the proud and lift up the lowly. What does that teach you about the kind of people God honors?
  • How can you wait patiently for God to fix what is broken?
