Notes
The sword of the Lord was not just a symbol. It would become the sword of the king of Babylon.
That king was Nebuchadnezzar. His army would carry out God’s judgment.
Ezekiel showed this in a visual way. He drew a map to show the king’s two possible targets. One was Rabbah, the capital of Ammon. The other was Jerusalem, the capital of Judah.
