Study
35 From the Book of Ezekiel is: Ezekiel 47:13 – 48:35
With this study we end the book of Ezekiel. Tomorrow, we will dive into the book of colossians.
Finally
the prophet is shown in vision the boundaries of the land (47:13-21) and the
portions of the tribes (48:1-29). The land was to be divided into parallel
zones, running from the west coast to the Jordan.
1.
What gospel
principle is foreshadowed in 47:22, 23? Eph. 2:11-13, 19; Col. 3:11.
2.
How many tribes had
their portion north of the broad zone assigned to the Lord in 45:1 and how many
south of it? Which tribes had portions immediately adjacent to the central zone
containing the sanctuary? What do you think was the reason for this privilege?
3. What does the new name of the city reveal about God’s
purpose in relation to His people? Looking back upon the vision as a whole,
write down the main lessons which it teaches, and consider how these stand out
still more clearly in the light of the revelation given us in Christ.
