Ezekiel Chapter 21 (Bible Study)

Ezekiel 21: Babylon's Judgment and the End of the Davidic Line Until the Messiah.
Ezekiel 21 emphasizes the impending judgment of Jerusalem by Babylon, marking the removal of the last Davidic king until the Messiah comes. Ezekiel, acting under God's command, prophesies that both the righteous and wicked will face judgment as God's sword is drawn. The chapter highlights Nebuchadnezzar's pagan methods in deciding his attack route, but God's sovereignty over the events is clear. Zedekiah, the last king, is condemned, and the throne remains vacant until the rightful Messiah, Jesus Christ, returns. This prophecy aligns with other biblical references to the end times and the ultimate defeat of evil. Ezekiel's generation faces captivity, but their descendants will return to Israel.
