Ezekiel 21 - Praying God's Word

Please read Ezekiel 21.

Meditate on verse 27.  The LORD is speaking.

“A ruin, a ruin, a ruin, I will make it. This also will be no more

until He comes whose right it is, and I will give it to Him.”

The LORD spoke grievous prophecies over Jerusalem. Three times He said His sword would come out of its sheath against all flesh (vs. 3-5). Three times He said He would make Jerusalem a ruin (v. 27). Three sieges of Jerusalem—three waves of exile—the LORD was indeed pouring out indignation and wrath on His people because of their iniquities, transgressions, and sins (vs. 24, 31).

In the midst of such dismal words, there is a glimmer of hope, a Messianic prophecy—Jerusalem will be ruined, ruined, ruined until He comes who has the right to rule Jerusalem (v. 27). The only hope for the ruined is the Messiah. The only hope for you and those you love is Jesus the Messiah because without Him everyone is a ruin, a ruin, a ruin.

Pray Ezekiel 21:27 in confession and commitment to the LORD as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, ___________ and I are a ruin, a ruin, a ruin until You come

 and take Your rightful place in our lives. 

We give ourselves to You, LORD Jesus~”
