Hello and welcome to
"His Words are Life."
00:00:15.27\00:00:17.68
I'm Kelly Mowrer and
today we're going to be reading
00:00:17.69\00:00:20.09
together from
the Book of Ezekiel,
00:00:20.10\00:00:22.17
but first let's pray.
00:00:22.18\00:00:24.09
Dear Heavenly
Father, thank you so much
00:00:24.10\00:00:26.41
that You're our
redeemer and our shepherd
00:00:26.42\00:00:30.33
that You come after us
and restore us to Yourself.
00:00:30.34\00:00:35.19
We need to be brought
back home to You again.
00:00:35.20\00:00:39.33
Please be with us now as we read
00:00:39.34\00:00:41.57
and send Your
Holy Spirit to help us
00:00:41.58\00:00:43.19
to understand the
message You've for each of us.
00:00:43.20\00:00:46.00
We love You so much and
thank You for loving us. Amen.
00:00:46.01\00:00:50.01
We're reading in
the Book of Ezekiel
00:00:50.02\00:00:52.19
in Chapter 36
beginning with verse 34
00:00:52.20\00:00:56.01
and this is the
King James Version.
00:00:56.02\00:00:59.91
"And the desolate
land shall be tilled,
00:00:59.92\00:01:02.08
whereas it lay desolate
00:01:02.09\00:01:03.14
in the sight of
all that passed by.
00:01:03.15\00:01:04.67
And they shall say,
This land that was desolate
00:01:04.68\00:01:06.60
is become like
the garden of Eden,
00:01:06.61\00:01:08.97
and the waste and desolate
00:01:08.98\00:01:10.36
and ruined cities are become
fenced, and are inhabited.
00:01:10.37\00:01:13.85
Then the heathen that are
left round about you shall know
00:01:13.86\00:01:17.31
that I the Lord
build the ruined places,
00:01:17.32\00:01:21.59
and plant that,
that was desolate,
00:01:21.60\00:01:24.28
I the Lord have
spoken it, and I will do it.
00:01:24.29\00:01:27.97
Thus saith the Lord God,
00:01:27.98\00:01:29.22
I will yet for this be enquired
of by the house of Israel,
00:01:29.23\00:01:32.77
to do it for them,
00:01:32.78\00:01:34.07
I will increase them
with men like a flock.
00:01:34.08\00:01:37.00
As the holy flock,
00:01:37.01\00:01:38.57
as the flock of
Jerusalem in her solemn feasts,
00:01:38.58\00:01:42.15
so shall the waste cities
be filled with flocks of men,
00:01:42.16\00:01:46.21
and they shall know
that I am the Lord."
00:01:46.22\00:01:51.00
Continuing to read
in Ezekiel Chapter 37,
00:01:51.01\00:01:54.11
this is the King James Version.
00:01:54.12\00:01:57.40
"The hand of the
Lord was upon me,
00:01:57.41\00:01:59.26
and carried me out in
the spirit of the Lord,
00:01:59.27\00:02:01.36
and set me down in
the midst of the valley
00:02:01.37\00:02:04.09
which was full of bones,
00:02:04.10\00:02:06.61
And caused me to
pass by them round about,
00:02:06.62\00:02:08.76
and, behold, there were
very many in the open valley,
00:02:08.77\00:02:12.03
and, lo, they were very dry.
00:02:12.04\00:02:15.76
And he said unto me, Son of man,
00:02:15.77\00:02:18.40
can these bones live?
00:02:18.41\00:02:20.89
And I answered, O
Lord God, thou knowest.
00:02:20.90\00:02:25.32
Again he said unto me,
Prophesy upon these bones,
00:02:25.33\00:02:29.00
and say unto them,
00:02:29.01\00:02:30.49
O ye dry bones, hear
the word of the Lord.
00:02:30.50\00:02:34.56
Thus saith the Lord
God unto these bones,
00:02:34.57\00:02:37.32
Behold, I will cause
breath to enter into you,
00:02:37.33\00:02:41.48
and ye shall live,
00:02:41.49\00:02:43.43
And I will lay sinews upon you,
00:02:43.44\00:02:45.24
and will bring
up flesh upon you,
00:02:45.25\00:02:47.22
and cover you with
skin, and put breath in you,
00:02:47.23\00:02:50.10
and ye shall live,
00:02:50.11\00:02:51.18
and ye shall know
that I am the Lord.
00:02:51.19\00:02:54.90
So I prophesied
as I was commanded,
00:02:54.91\00:02:58.30
and as I
prophesied, there was a noise,
00:02:58.31\00:03:02.03
and behold a shaking,
and the bones came together,
00:03:02.04\00:03:06.82
bone to his bone.
00:03:06.83\00:03:08.85
And when I beheld, lo,
00:03:08.86\00:03:10.70
the sinews and the
flesh came up upon them,
00:03:10.71\00:03:14.42
and the skin covered them above,
00:03:14.43\00:03:17.60
but there was no breath in them.
00:03:17.61\00:03:20.55
Then said he unto me,
Prophesy unto the wind,
00:03:20.56\00:03:24.34
prophesy, son of man,
00:03:24.35\00:03:25.63
and say to the wind,
Thus saith the Lord God,
00:03:25.64\00:03:28.48
Come from the four winds,
00:03:28.49\00:03:30.46
O breath, and
breathe upon these slain,
00:03:30.47\00:03:34.56
that they may live.
00:03:34.57\00:03:36.73
So I prophesied
as he commanded me,
00:03:36.74\00:03:39.16
and the breath came into them,
00:03:39.17\00:03:41.46
and they lived, and
stood up upon their feet,
00:03:41.47\00:03:45.59
an exceeding great army.
00:03:45.60\00:03:49.13
Then he said
unto me, Son of man,
00:03:49.14\00:03:51.45
these bones are the
whole house of Israel,
00:03:51.46\00:03:55.39
behold, they say,
Our bones are dried,
00:03:55.40\00:03:58.95
and our hope is lost, we
are cut off for our parts.
00:03:58.96\00:04:04.01
Therefore
prophesy and say unto them,
00:04:04.02\00:04:06.87
Thus saith the Lord God,
00:04:06.88\00:04:08.79
Behold, O my people,
00:04:08.80\00:04:11.27
I will open your graves,
00:04:11.28\00:04:13.11
and cause you to come
up out of your graves,
00:04:13.12\00:04:16.23
and bring you into
the land of Israel.
00:04:16.24\00:04:19.58
And ye shall know
that I am the Lord,
00:04:19.59\00:04:22.21
when I have opened your graves,
00:04:22.22\00:04:23.76
O my people, and brought
you up out of your graves,
00:04:23.77\00:04:27.01
And shall put my spirit in you,
00:04:27.02\00:04:29.49
and ye all live,
00:04:29.50\00:04:31.14
and I shall place
you in your own land,
00:04:31.15\00:04:34.27
then shall ye know that
I the Lord have spoken it,
00:04:34.28\00:04:38.12
and performed
it, saith the Lord.
00:04:38.13\00:04:41.64
The word of the
Lord came again unto me,
00:04:41.65\00:04:43.61
saying,
Moreover, thou son of man,
00:04:43.62\00:04:46.49
take thee one
stick, and write upon it,
00:04:46.50\00:04:49.72
For Judah, and for
the children of Israel
00:04:49.73\00:04:53.16
his companions,
then take another stick,
00:04:53.17\00:04:56.65
and write upon it, For Joseph,
00:04:56.66\00:04:59.57
the stick of Ephraim and
for all the house of Israel
00:04:59.58\00:05:01.97
his companions, And join them
one to another into one stick,
00:05:01.98\00:05:07.99
and they shall
become one in thine hand.
00:05:08.00\00:05:10.87
And when the children of thy
people shall speak unto thee,
00:05:10.88\00:05:13.60
saying, Wilt thou not shew us
00:05:13.61\00:05:15.35
what thou meanest by these?
00:05:15.36\00:05:17.27
Say unto them,
Thus saith the Lord God,
00:05:17.28\00:05:20.27
Behold, I will take
the stick of Joseph,
00:05:20.28\00:05:22.72
which is in the hand of Ephraim,
00:05:22.73\00:05:24.56
and the tribes of
Israel his fellows,
00:05:24.57\00:05:26.48
and will put them with him,
00:05:26.49\00:05:28.24
even with the stick of Judah,
00:05:28.25\00:05:29.63
and make them one stick,
00:05:29.64\00:05:31.53
and they shall
be one in mine hand.
00:05:31.54\00:05:34.95
And the sticks
whereon thou writest
00:05:34.96\00:05:37.33
shall be in thine
hand before their eyes.
00:05:37.34\00:05:40.47
And say unto them,
00:05:40.48\00:05:41.61
Thus saith the Lord God,
00:05:41.62\00:05:43.31
Behold, I will take
the children of Israel
00:05:43.32\00:05:45.58
from among the
heathen, whither they be gone,
00:05:45.59\00:05:47.89
and will gather
them on every side,
00:05:47.90\00:05:50.40
and bring them
into their own land,
00:05:50.41\00:05:53.19
And I will make them one nation
00:05:53.20\00:05:54.74
in the land upon
the mountains of Israel,
00:05:54.75\00:05:57.02
and one king shall
be king to them all,
00:05:57.03\00:05:59.26
and they shall be
no more two nations,
00:05:59.27\00:06:01.97
neither shall they be divided
00:06:01.98\00:06:03.71
into two
kingdoms any more at all.
00:06:03.72\00:06:06.16
Neither shall
they defile themselves
00:06:06.17\00:06:07.90
any more with their idols,
00:06:07.91\00:06:09.52
nor with their
detestable things,
00:06:09.53\00:06:11.33
nor with any of
their transgressions,
00:06:11.34\00:06:13.92
but I will save them out
of all their dwelling places,
00:06:13.93\00:06:16.77
wherein they have
sinned, and will cleanse them,
00:06:16.78\00:06:20.83
so shall they be my
people, and I will be their God.
00:06:20.84\00:06:25.97
And David my servant
shall be king over them,
00:06:25.98\00:06:28.39
and they all
shall have one shepherd,
00:06:28.40\00:06:30.78
they shall also
walk in my judgments,
00:06:30.79\00:06:33.05
and observe my
statutes, and do them.
00:06:33.06\00:06:35.98
And they shall dwell in the land
00:06:35.99\00:06:37.83
that I have given
unto Jacob my servant,
00:06:37.84\00:06:40.16
wherein your fathers have dwelt,
00:06:40.17\00:06:42.28
and they shall dwell therein,
00:06:42.29\00:06:43.79
even they, and their children,
00:06:43.80\00:06:44.93
and their
children's children for ever,
00:06:44.94\00:06:47.82
and my servant David
shall be their prince for ever.
00:06:47.83\00:06:52.19
Moreover I will make
00:06:52.20\00:06:53.50
a covenant of peace with them,
00:06:53.51\00:06:55.58
it shall be an
everlasting covenant with them,
00:06:55.59\00:06:58.17
and I will place
them, and multiply them,
00:06:58.18\00:07:01.43
and will set my sanctuary
00:07:01.44\00:07:03.11
in the midst of
them for evermore.
00:07:03.12\00:07:05.35
My tabernacle also
shall be with them,
00:07:05.36\00:07:07.95
yea, I will be their God,
00:07:07.96\00:07:10.94
and they shall be my people.
00:07:10.95\00:07:13.30
And the heathen
shall know that I the Lord
00:07:13.31\00:07:16.71
do sanctify
Israel, when my sanctuary
00:07:16.72\00:07:19.69
shall be in the midst
of them for evermore."
00:07:19.70\00:07:23.98
Continuing with
Ezekiel, Chapter 38,
00:07:23.99\00:07:27.10
this is the King James Version.
00:07:27.11\00:07:29.51
"And the word of
the Lord came unto me,
00:07:29.52\00:07:31.40
saying, Son of man,
00:07:31.41\00:07:33.10
set thy face against
Gog, the land of Magog,
00:07:33.11\00:07:36.77
the chief prince
of Meshech and Tubal,
00:07:36.78\00:07:39.42
and prophesy against him,
00:07:39.43\00:07:40.73
And say, Thus
saith the Lord God,
00:07:40.74\00:07:42.07
Behold, I am against thee,
00:07:42.08\00:07:43.79
O Gog, the chief
prince of Meshech and Tubal,
00:07:43.80\00:07:47.61
And I will turn thee back,
and put hooks into thy jaws,
00:07:47.62\00:07:50.52
and I will bring thee
forth, and all thine army,
00:07:50.53\00:07:53.56
horses and horsemen, all of them
00:07:53.57\00:07:55.10
clothed with
all sorts of armour,
00:07:55.11\00:07:57.41
even a great company
with bucklers and shields,
00:07:57.42\00:07:59.78
all of them handling swords,
00:07:59.79\00:08:02.25
Persia, Ethiopia,
and Libya with them,
00:08:02.26\00:08:05.32
all of them with
shield and helmetGomer,
00:08:05.33\00:08:08.85
and all his bands,
00:08:08.86\00:08:10.53
the house of Togarmah
of the north quarters,
00:08:10.54\00:08:12.94
and all his bands,
and many people with thee.
00:08:12.95\00:08:16.75
Be thou prepared,
and prepare for thyself,
00:08:16.76\00:08:19.15
thou, and all thy company
that are assembled unto thee,
00:08:19.16\00:08:22.36
and be thou a guard unto them.
00:08:22.37\00:08:24.92
After many days
thou shalt be visited,
00:08:24.93\00:08:28.10
in the latter years
thou shalt come into the land
00:08:28.11\00:08:30.46
that is brought
back from the sword,
00:08:30.47\00:08:32.24
and is gathered
out of many people,
00:08:32.25\00:08:33.82
against the mountains of Israel,
00:08:33.83\00:08:35.20
which have been always waste,
00:08:35.21\00:08:37.39
but it is brought
forth out of the nations,
00:08:37.40\00:08:39.02
and they shall
dwell safely all of them.
00:08:39.03\00:08:42.06
Thou shalt ascend
and come like a storm,
00:08:42.07\00:08:44.47
thou shalt be like a
cloud to cover the land,
00:08:44.48\00:08:46.70
thou, and all thy bands,
and many people with thee.
00:08:46.71\00:08:50.69
Thus saith the Lord God,
00:08:50.70\00:08:51.96
It shall also come to pass,
00:08:51.97\00:08:53.95
that at the same time
shall things come into thy mind,
00:08:53.96\00:08:56.97
and thou shalt
think an evil thought,
00:08:56.98\00:08:58.71
And thou halt say,
00:08:58.72\00:08:59.73
I will go up to the
land of unwalled villages,
00:08:59.74\00:09:02.86
I will go to
them that are at rest,
00:09:02.87\00:09:05.27
that dwell safely, all of
them dwelling without walls,
00:09:05.28\00:09:09.03
and having
neither bars nor gates,
00:09:09.04\00:09:11.97
To take a spoil,
and to take a prey,
00:09:11.98\00:09:15.91
to turn thine hand
upon the desolate places
00:09:15.92\00:09:18.33
that are now
inhabited, and upon the people
00:09:18.34\00:09:20.01
that are gathered
out of the nations,
00:09:20.02\00:09:21.36
which have
gotten cattle and goods,
00:09:21.37\00:09:23.35
that dwell in the
midst of the land. Sheba,
00:09:23.36\00:09:26.32
and Dedan, and the
merchants of Tarshish,
00:09:26.33\00:09:28.81
with all the
young lions thereof,
00:09:28.82\00:09:31.50
shall say unto thee,
00:09:31.51\00:09:33.14
Art thou come to take a spoil?
00:09:33.15\00:09:35.81
hast thou gathered thy
company to take a prey?
00:09:35.82\00:09:39.62
to carry away silver and gold,
00:09:39.63\00:09:41.81
to take away cattle and goods,
00:09:41.82\00:09:43.33
to take a great spoil?
00:09:43.34\00:09:46.38
Therefore, son of man,
prophesy and say unto Gog,
00:09:46.39\00:09:50.53
Thus saith the Lord God,
00:09:50.54\00:09:53.08
In that day when my people
of Israel dwelleth safely,
00:09:53.09\00:09:56.77
shalt thou not know it?
00:09:56.78\00:09:58.92
And thou shalt
come from thy place
00:09:58.93\00:10:00.50
out of the north
parts, thou, and many people
00:10:00.51\00:10:02.64
with thee, all of
them riding upon horses,
00:10:02.65\00:10:04.81
a great company,
and a mighty army,
00:10:04.82\00:10:06.74
And thou shalt come up
against my people of Israel,
00:10:06.75\00:10:09.31
as a cloud to cover the land,
00:10:09.32\00:10:11.78
it shall be in the latter days,
00:10:11.79\00:10:13.71
and I will bring
thee against my land,
00:10:13.72\00:10:15.62
that the heathen may know me,
00:10:15.63\00:10:17.69
when I shall be
sanctified in thee,
00:10:17.70\00:10:19.86
O Gog, before their eyes.
00:10:19.87\00:10:22.82
Thus saith the Lord God,
00:10:22.83\00:10:24.93
Art thou he of whom I
have spoken in old time
00:10:24.94\00:10:28.94
by my servants the
prophets of Israel,
00:10:28.95\00:10:31.03
which prophesied in
those days many years
00:10:31.04\00:10:34.61
that I would
bring thee against them?
00:10:34.62\00:10:36.90
And it shall come to
pass at the same time
00:10:36.91\00:10:39.69
when Gog shall come
against the land of Israel,
00:10:39.70\00:10:42.87
saith the Lord God,
00:10:42.88\00:10:44.31
that my fury shall
come up in my face.
00:10:44.32\00:10:47.55
For in my
jealousy and in the fire
00:10:47.56\00:10:50.16
of my wrath have I spoken,
00:10:50.17\00:10:52.69
Surely in that day
there shall be a great shaking
00:10:52.70\00:10:56.11
in the land of Israel, So
that the fishes of the sea,
00:10:56.12\00:10:59.13
and the fowls of the heaven,
and the beasts of the field,
00:10:59.14\00:11:01.75
and all creeping things
that creep upon the earth,
00:11:01.76\00:11:04.62
and all the men that are
upon the face of the earth,
00:11:04.63\00:11:07.34
shall shake at my presence,
00:11:07.35\00:11:10.00
and the mountains
shall be thrown down,
00:11:10.01\00:11:12.67
and the steep places shall fall,
00:11:12.68\00:11:14.96
and every wall
shall fall to the ground.
00:11:14.97\00:11:18.57
And I will call for a sword
00:11:18.58\00:11:20.34
against him
throughout all my mountains,
00:11:20.35\00:11:22.55
saith the Lord God,
00:11:22.56\00:11:23.80
everyman's sword shall
be against his brother.
00:11:23.81\00:11:27.32
And I will plead against him
00:11:27.33\00:11:28.97
with pestilence and with blood,
00:11:28.98\00:11:30.63
and I will rain upon
him, and upon his bands,
00:11:30.64\00:11:33.64
and upon the many
people that are with him,
00:11:33.65\00:11:35.76
an overflowing rain,
and great hailstones,
00:11:35.77\00:11:39.34
fire, and brimstone.
00:11:39.35\00:11:42.32
Thus will I magnify
myself, and sanctify myself,
00:11:42.33\00:11:46.68
and I will be known in
the eyes of many nations,
00:11:46.69\00:11:50.51
and they shall know
that I am the Lord."
00:11:50.52\00:11:55.25
Continuing in
Ezekiel, Chapter 39
00:11:55.26\00:11:58.06
and this is the
King James Version.
00:11:58.07\00:12:00.64
"Therefore, thou son of man,
00:12:00.65\00:12:03.21
prophesy against Gog, and say,
00:12:03.22\00:12:06.09
Thus saith the Lord God,
00:12:06.10\00:12:07.81
Behold, I am against thee,
00:12:07.82\00:12:10.14
O Gog, the chief
prince of Meshech and Tubal,
00:12:10.15\00:12:13.46
And I will turn thee back,
00:12:13.47\00:12:15.13
and leave but the
sixth part of thee,
00:12:15.14\00:12:17.77
and will cause thee to
come up from the north parts,
00:12:20.22\00:12:22.56
and will bring thee
upon the mountains of Israel,
00:12:22.57\00:12:25.27
And I will smite thy
bow out of thy left hand,
00:12:25.28\00:12:28.15
and will cause thine arrows
to fall out of thy right hand.
00:12:28.16\00:12:31.89
Thou shalt fall upon
the mountains of Israel,
00:12:31.90\00:12:33.87
thou, and all thy bands,
00:12:33.88\00:12:35.34
and the people
that is with thee,
00:12:35.35\00:12:37.57
I will give thee
unto the ravenous
00:12:37.58\00:12:39.29
birds of every sort,
00:12:39.30\00:12:40.60
and to the beasts of
the field to be devoured.
00:12:40.61\00:12:43.52
Thou shalt fall
upon the open field,
00:12:43.53\00:12:46.14
for I have spoken
it, saith the Lord God.
00:12:46.15\00:12:49.21
And I will send a fire on Magog,
00:12:49.22\00:12:51.26
and among them that
dwell carelessly in the isles,
00:12:51.27\00:12:54.98
and they shall
know that I am the Lord.
00:12:54.99\00:12:59.10
So will I make
my holy name known
00:12:59.11\00:13:01.83
in the midst of
my people Israel,
00:13:01.84\00:13:04.34
and I will not let them pollute
00:13:04.35\00:13:05.96
my holy name any more,
00:13:05.97\00:13:08.14
and the heathen shall
know that I am the Lord,
00:13:08.15\00:13:11.02
the Holy One in Israel.
00:13:11.03\00:13:13.36
Behold, it is
come, and it is done,
00:13:13.37\00:13:17.30
saith the Lord God,
00:13:17.31\00:13:18.80
this is the day
whereof I have spoken.
00:13:18.81\00:13:22.75
And they that dwell
in the cities of Israel
00:13:22.76\00:13:24.61
shall go forth,
and shall set on fire
00:13:24.62\00:13:27.10
and burn the weapons,
00:13:27.11\00:13:28.47
both the shields
and the bucklers,
00:13:28.48\00:13:30.23
the bows and the
arrows, and the handstaves,
00:13:30.24\00:13:32.51
and the spears, and
they shall burn them
00:13:32.52\00:13:34.63
with fire seven years,
00:13:34.64\00:13:37.27
So that they shall take
no wood out of the field,
00:13:37.28\00:13:39.88
neither cut down
any out of the forests,
00:13:39.89\00:13:42.19
for they shall burn
the weapons with fire,
00:13:42.20\00:13:44.39
and they shall spoil
those that spoiled them,
00:13:44.40\00:13:47.20
and rob those that robbed them,
00:13:47.21\00:13:49.29
saith the Lord God.
00:13:49.30\00:13:51.03
And it shall come
to pass in that day,
00:13:51.04\00:13:52.69
that I will give unto Gog
00:13:52.70\00:13:54.37
a place there of
graves in Israel,
00:13:54.38\00:13:57.64
the valley of the passengers
on the east of the sea,
00:13:57.65\00:14:01.32
and it shall stop the
noses of the passengers,
00:14:01.33\00:14:04.64
and there shall they bury
Gog and all his multitude,
00:14:04.65\00:14:08.82
and they shall call it
The valley of Hamongog.
00:14:08.83\00:14:13.30
And seven months
shall the house of Israel
00:14:13.31\00:14:15.57
be burying of them,
00:14:15.58\00:14:17.32
that they may cleanse the land.
00:14:17.33\00:14:19.64
Yea, all the people of
the land shall bury them,
00:14:19.65\00:14:21.97
and it shall be to them a renown
00:14:21.98\00:14:24.34
the day that I
shall be glorified,
00:14:24.35\00:14:26.06
saith the Lord God.
00:14:26.07\00:14:27.76
And they shall sever out
men of continual employment,
00:14:27.77\00:14:31.05
passing through the land
to bury with the passengers
00:14:31.06\00:14:34.00
those that remain
upon the face of the earth,
00:14:34.01\00:14:36.23
to cleanse it, after
the end of seven months
00:14:36.24\00:14:39.63
shall they search."
