Ezekiel

Ezekiel Chapters 21, 22 and 23
—Outline and Notes

1 Context Overview

In these chapters (Ezekiel 21,22,23) there is a long history in view of Israel’s involvement with other nations. In particular God speaks to Ezekiel about six kingdoms, some past and some present: the Assyrians, Chaldeans, Egyptians, Ammonites, Judah, and Samaria.

After Solomon died, the kingdom of Israel divided. Judah and Benjamin remained with Jerusalem, and the other tribes made their capital, Samaria.

Later God allowed the Assyrians to destroy Israel because of it's participation in the idolatry and corruption of Egypt and other smaller nations. However Judah,with its capital Jerusalem, was preserved because of its good kings Hezekiah and Josiah.

But now, in Ezekiel’s time, the kings of Judah were evil, so the Chaldeans, whose empire was ruled from Babylon, were appointed by God to destroy Jerusalem, to kill, scatter, and take captive, the inhabitants of the kingdom.
