and i am your god salth the lord god ezeklel 3431 the lesson as a whole approach to the lesson jeremiah ezekiel and daniel were contemporaries all witness ing the downfall of their nation daniel who was of royal blood was taken captive to babylon with the first deportation by nebuchadnezzar in the 3rd year of jehoiakim 605 bc ezekiel j was in the second group when king jehoiachim was aken pri soner to babylon in 597 bc jeremiah saw these two calami ties and also the final breakup of the monarchy in 586 bc when jerusalem was destroyed king zedekiah and many more taken into captivity he himself however remained in jerusa lem until he accompanied the remnant to egypt jeremiah and ezekiel were both of the priestly family it is surely significant that one of these was left to minister to the people in jerusalem through all the days of crisis and tragedy while the other was taken to babylon and there exercised his ministry among the captives as for daniel his lot was cast among the gentiles the times of the gentiles began with the fall of judah and from his high position in babylon daniel was made the prophet of the gentile world there is some dispute about the thirtieth year in ezekiel 11 many with hengenstenberg take it as referring to ezekiels age and with this i am quite satisfied the reference to the fourth month arid the fifth day of the month is no barrier to this very simple interpretation to refer it to the babylonian era or to the thirtieth year after the finding of the law in the days of josiah as some do is to introduce time measures which have no place in scrip ture gaebeleins dogmatic state ment the thirtieth year must be reckoned according to the babylonian era is not support ed by any reasoning whatsoever i have found no satisfactory substitute for the simple appli cation of this time notice to the age of the prophet five years after the captivity of jehoiachin marked in ezekiels memory since he was one of the group verse by verse ezekiel 11 in the thir tieth year among the cap tives by the river of chebar the heavens were opened and i saw the visions of god the time notice here probably refers to the prophets age chebar was a river of mesopotamia flowing roughly parallel to the euphra tes and then joining the eu phrates here was the begin ning of a series of visions verse 2 the fifth year of king jehoichins captivity this is the same year as that mentioned in verse 1 the fifth year of jehoichins captivity was the thirtieth of ezekiels age so that ezekiel was twentyfive when he was taken captive verse 4 the word came expressly the hand of the lord was here upon him at the very time when ezekiel would have been assuming full asap markham township federation of agriculture will hold its annual meeting in buttonville hall on

unmistakable manner the hand of jehovah signifies his power which rested on his servant for the new task chap 21 stand upon thy feet and i will speak unto thee ezekiel had fallen on his face at sight of the glory but it is not gods intention tc- keepj men on their faces he made us to stand upright and those who humble themselves he will setj on their feet verse 2 and the spirit entered into me set me upon my feet i heard him that spake unto me it was not in human strength that ezekiel stood before god but by the empowering of the holy spirit this also enabled him to hear the words of god verse 3 son of man i send thee to a rebellious nation unto this very day the term son of man is used with great frequency in ezekiel em phasizing the weakness of the instrument as over against the power of god who uses him nation is plural in the heb rew and so in asv perhaps indicating how widespread was the rebellion in israel in genera tion after generation verse 4 impudent chil dren and stiffhearted thus saith the lorclgod impudent is literally hardbrowed they brazenly looked up when they ought to have been hanging their heads in shame for these people the prophet had a thus saith the lord verse 5 whether they will hear or whether they will forbear shall know that there hath been a prophet am ong them ezekiel is not prom ised an immediate response to his message but is assured that tle afterevents will justify his ministry and secure his recogni tion by the people chap 3411 behold i search my sheep and seek them out this wonderful prediction follows the denunciation of the false shepherds of israel vs 110 the lord himself will be the shepherd of his people sear ching them out where they have been scattered verse 12 as a shepherd among his sheep that are scattered israel was al ready partially scattered when this was spoken and was to be yet more scattered the day would be more dark and cloudy before the dawn would break but however scattered they would not be beyond the search ing eye of the shepherd verse 13 i will bring them out gather them bring them to their own land feed them here is a promise which goes beyond the return from babylon for it embraces a wider dispersion and envisions a complete recovery verse 14 in a good pas ture their fold be fat pasture upon the mountains of israel this verse foresees the prosperity and abundance which will characterize the land of israel when god accomplishes his work of restoration the present precarious condition of israels national life and econ omy cannot represent the ful fillment of gods promise verse 15 i will feed my flock to lie down plenty rest and security are all pictured here a combination which israel does not know at the present time verse 16i will seek that which was lost driven away the fat

newmarket on wednesday sept 25th at 3 pm hood he found himself in a sit uation that made the exercise of the priesthood impossible he was a prisoner of war a captive in babylonia far from the sac red temple in which the priestly functions were carried on he had already been in this un happy situation for five years but his grief must have been deepened as he realized that he could not- fulfill the ministry to which he was born but god had a recompense for this godly young priest as he mourned and meditated by the river chebar in the land of is raels captivity god met him this remarkable encounter ez ekiel describes in four vivid phrases the heavens were op ened i saw visions of god the word of the lord came expressly the hand of the lord was there upon him he knew that day that god had not forgotten him if he could not enter the holy place in jerusa lem god would make the banks of the chebar a little sanctu ary where he could commune with him such opening of the heavens to the soul of a nian does not end with that man the moment the word of the lord comes ex pressly to a man of god that man is a commissioned man he is a bearer of the word he may be stunned for a moment with the glory of the vision which has burst upon his own soul but he must stand on his feet and receive orders when god speaks he sends and ez ekiel found himself resigning the priestly ministry for the prophetic it would be no easy task and it would lack the glam our and the glitter of the work of the priesthood for it would be exercised among a captive people yet a people whose cal amity had not
