Your future lies in 6640.

66 books by 40 authors, and yet we now discover it's an integrated message system from

outside our time domain.

Welcome to 6640, the ministry outreach of Koinania House and Koinnea Institute.

Today's Bible teacher is Chuck Missler, connecting the Bible to your life and the world around you.

In today's study, Chuck begins his teaching on the book of Ezekiel, chapters 21 and 22.

Well, we're working our way through the book of Ezekiel.

And tonight we've budgeted ourselves for two chapters, 21 and 22.

Now, as you recall, the book of Ezekiel consists of 48 chapters.

The first three deal with the call of the prophet. Deported at the age of 25 is a captive in the second siege of Nebuchadnezzar, the first siege. He took Daniel and his friends at court as a hostage.

They rebelled, so he had a second siege, took a lot more, including Ezekiel.

All this time, Jeremiah is preaching in Jerusalem.

And even after the second siege, Jerusalem is still intact, but subject to Nebuchadnezzar.

But they don't listen to the prophets to Jeremiah or in Jerusalem or Ezekiel

in Babylon. And he's not in the town of Babylon. He's in the empire of Babylon a couple hundred

miles away from the court. Daniel is at court. There's no evidence they ever actually met.

They might have, but not necessarily. They both, of course, had studied under Jeremiah earlier.

Any case, when Ezekiel becomes 30, age of priesthood, he also then is called to be a prophet.

And so all that's the first three chapters.

The section of the book that we're dealing in, kind of heavy stuff, is God's judgment on Jerusalem.
