Bible Themes and Doctrines
Ezekiel 33 ties love to warning and mercy to justice. The watchman sounds the horn, God pleads for life, and hearers must turn today rather than admire sermons tomorrow.
Pharaoh roars like a monster and meets God’s net. Ezekiel 32 darkens the lights, quiets the waters, and marches Egypt to the pit so nations learn the Lord’s name.
Ezekiel 31 tells Pharaoh to “consider Assyria,” a cedar that rose by God’s waters and fell for its pride. The parable trains rulers and households to keep low, give shade, and trust the Gardener who governs height and rain.
Ezekiel 30 announces a near “day of the Lord” over Egypt. Alliances collapse, idols fail, and God strengthens Babylon while breaking Pharaoh so nations learn His name.
Pharaoh claims the Nile and meets the Lord who owns it. Ezekiel 29 recounts forty years of desolation, a humbled Egypt, Babylon’s wages, and a horn raised for Israel.
Ezekiel 28 humbles a sea-throne that claimed divinity, sings a lament over corrupted glory, judges a violent neighbor, and promises Israel secure life in the land.
Ezekiel 27 turns Tyre into a splendid ship and then a wreck, teaching nations to grieve pride and to turn wealth into worship under God’s rule.
Tyre’s gloat over Jerusalem meets God’s waves of judgment. Ezekiel 26 turns a proud harbor into a bare rock to teach nations who truly rules the sea.
Ezekiel 25 turns outward from Jerusalem to four neighboring nations that mocked, taunted, and attacked. Each oracle delivers measured justice with a single aim: that all will know the Lord.
Ezekiel 24 names the day the siege begins and interprets it with a parable of a burning pot and a sign in the prophet’s own home. The chapter exposes stubborn impurity and prepares the way for cleansing and restored speech after judgment.
Ezekiel 23 uses a shocking sister-parable to expose covenant infidelity and its consequences. It also points toward hope: jealous love that ends lewdness and restores true worship.
Ezekiel 22 confronts Jerusalem as a “city of bloodshed,” exposing corruption from palace to pulpit and promising a furnace of refining judgment. The chapter calls communities back to truthful worship, just dealings, and courageous intercession.
Ezekiel 21 declares that the Lord Himself has unsheathed the sword against Jerusalem, exposing false hopes in sanctuary and scepter. Yet within judgment rises a promise: the crown will rest on the one to whom it truly belongs.
Ezekiel 20 reviews Israel’s story to explain God’s judgment and mercy “for the sake of my name.” It ends with a robust promise of regathering and accepted worship on His holy mountain, so that all will know He is the Lord.
At Jerusalem’s east gate, self-protective counsel collapses while God promises sanctuary in exile, regathering, and a new heart and spirit. The glory departs now, but the pledge of return prepares a people to welcome his presence again.
