Read: Ezekiel 32-34
It was the 12th year, 12th month and the first day that God sent his word to the king of Egypt. Twelve is the number of government. God is sending his government to earth and God is judging Egypt. It is time for the feast of Leviathan where the beasts and the birds will eat the flesh of the wicked. (Revelations 19:17-21.) What happened to the king of Egypt was a type of what will happen in the end. All of these people went to the pit or hell.
Ezekiel 33 speaks to the prophet and warns him to do his job. His job is to warn the people of what is coming. It is not his job to make them respond in the right way. He is only responsible for sounding the alarm.
Ezekiel 34 was a rebuke to the pastors of the land. They weren’t feeding the flock with the words of life. They knew the truth but they weren’t giving it to the people and they would be judged for this. They weren’t protecting and guarding over the flock but were only tending to their own families. But God promised to search for his people and find them. He promised to feed them and place them in a place they could prosper and grow. He would bind up those that were broken and heal them and make them strong. God did this through the ministry of Jesus. This ministry continues till he comes back. We are promised showers of blessings, fruitfulness and safety.
Lord, thank you for being the Great Shepherd to your people. Thank you for binding up our wounds and healing us. Help us to go do the same.
