Guiding Questions: Ezekiel 39

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. To what group does the prophet continue to address his message in Ezekiel 39?
  2. What will be the destiny of those who seek to attack Israel in the future (Ezekiel 39:4)?
  3. In Ezekiel 39:8, reference is made to “that day that I have spoken of” — what will that day represent for Israel and what will it represent for its enemies?
  4. How will the land be purified from those who sought to attack Israel (Ezekiel 39:11-15)?
  5. The description of the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the field consuming without stint is a poetic reference to what final destiny for the enemies of Israel?
  6. As a result of what will have happened (Ezekiel 39:21-22), what will be the repute of Divinity?
  7. Ezekiel 39:23 indicates why what has been done to Israel was done; God’s face had been hidden. To what does this make reference?
  8. The redemption of Israel is the result of what attribute of Divinity (Ezekiel 39:25)?
  9. Ezekiel 39:29 specifically calls for a reversal of a Divine action — what is it?
