Ezekiel Chapter 20 (Bible Study)

Ezekiel 20: Israel’s History of Sin, Judgment, and Promise of Restoration.
Ezekiel 20 reviews Israel's long history of rebellion against God, highlighting their persistent sins from the wilderness generation to the present. Despite their disobedience and God's justified judgment, He extends mercy and promises future restoration, including gathering the scattered people back to their land. The chapter also includes a prophecy of judgment against the southern forest, symbolizing the land's desolation, yet affirms God's ongoing purpose for Israel. Ezekiel serves as a stern, unemotional messenger delivering God's word during this critical period before Jerusalem's destruction.
