Contents: Jehovah vindicated in the chastising of Israel. Israel's future judgment. Parable of the forest of the south field.

Characters: God, Ezekiel.

Conclusion: God takes it as an affront when those come to inquire of Him who are resolved to go on in their trespasses. He is indeed long-suffering with sinners, and it is owing purely to His mercy, which guards His own glory, that they are not immediately made an end of. If men will not acknowledge God as their ruler, they will have to face Him as Judge when it is too late.

Key Word: Jehovah's long-suffering, Ezekiel 20:9; Ezekiel 20:14; Ezekiel 20:17; Ezekiel 20:22.

Strong Verses: Ezekiel 20:19; Ezekiel 20:20.

Striking Facts: Ezekiel 20:33-44. This prophecy has to do with the future judgment of Israel at Christ's Coming. The issue determines who of Israel in that day shall enter the land for kingdom blessing. (Ezekiel 20:38; Psalms 50:1-7; Malachi 3:2-5; Malachi 4:1; Malachi 4:2.)
