Ezekiel 35- 36

Описание: This episode continues a study through Ezekiel by recapping chapter 34’s rebuke of Israel’s failed shepherds and the promise that God himself will shepherd his people after the temple’s destruction. The group then covers chapters 35–36, exploring the “prophecy against Edom/Mount Seir” and the “prophecy to the mountains of Israel,” connecting them to the Genesis story of Jacob and Esau and the broader biblical “brother’s keeper” motif (Cain and Abel, favored younger son themes, and Israel’s calling to be a blessing). Edom is condemned for taking advantage of Israel during Jerusalem’s calamity and cooperating with Babylon, framed as brother-bloodshed that will bring judgment. Ezekiel 36 is read as God acting not for Israel’s sake but for the sake of his holy name, which Israel profaned among the nations; Israel’s defilement is compared to Levitical impurity and tied to bloodshed and idolatry. The passage’s promises—sprinkling clean water, cleansing from idols, a new heart, and God’s Spirit within—are discussed as a divine “hard reset” that breaks the repeated cycle of sin. The class links these themes to the New Testament, especially Acts 2 (Pentecost, wind/Spirit, tongues as a reversal of Babel), Jesus breathing on the disciples in John, and the church’s continued identity as a “kingdom of priests” from Exodus 19. The discussion closes with questions about Ezekiel and Daniel’s overlap in exile and a comparison to Lamentations and Jonah regarding Israel’s desire for judgment on other nations, followed by a closing prayer.
