So Ezekiel 33-39...I know it's a lot to cover but ill try my best. So first of Ezekiel 33 talks about bad shepherds in Israel and how God plans on giving Israel a new shepherd, David, to tend to them. Now is it actually David? Of course not! That's what's so great! I've said it once ill say it till I die, I love how Jesus appears in the OT. Not by name but by action! It really is good stuff.
This turned into a couple of weeks...I will skip the rest of Ezekiel and move on to Daniel. I had no idea that there was so much prophecy in that book. I had always just assumed that it was the furnace and the lion's den then boom done. Au contraire! He predicts Jesus returning and reigning. Its pretty crazy stuff and for me was really exciting to read.
Yesterday I was in Ezra and today my study put me in Haggai. Both deal with the rebuilding of God's House after the captivity. It's interesting how God says he frustrate the labors of the Israelites until they started rebuilding His house because He deserves to be remembered and worshipped before they started rebuilding their own lives. I feel like that's an important concept. After anything we go through we need to make sure the first step to rebuilding our lives is rebuilding our place of worship and beginning to worship again. I know I've ignores this step and it did feel like my cause was frustrated.
For example my computer. Now ethat it's working again I need to get back to worshipping God and not worrying about downloading music....
