Notes

Ezekiel 11:13

The judgment that the Lord announced happened at once.
Oh, Lord GOD, will You bring the remnant of Israel to a complete end?: If those who still remained in the land were going to be completely destroyed, then who would be left? Who would continue as God’s people?

Ezekiel 8:1–11:25

This section describes how the people defiled (made unclean by sin) the temple in Jerusalem (Ezekiel 8). Because of this sin, the Lord left the temple. After he left, the city and the temple were destroyed (9:1–11:13).

At first, this sounds like only bad news. But for those already living in exile, it was also good news. The Lord was not limited to the temple in Jerusalem. He would come to be with his people in exile.

By coming to dwell with them, the Lord showed that the exiles were not forgotten. They were the ones who carried hope for the future of God’s people.
