And now, a minute with the Word…

It is easy to be overwhelmed by the complexity of these chapters, but please do not miss the greater point of the text — the Lord was not done with Israel, rather planning to dwell with her and be glorified in her, in greater ways than she had ever experienced before. God “was drafting for the new Israel, soon to arise from the ashes of the old, a fresh religious and political constitution, which could not be satisfied with any merely local, temporal, and material realization, such as might be given to it in Palestine on the close of the exile, but reached out to something larger, broader, and more spiritual, even to the Israel of Messianic times, i.e. to the Church of God in Christian ages” (Pulpit Commentary, Ezekiel 40:1-49, EXPOSITION introduction).
