Main truths from the Book of Ezekiel include: The Jews were suffering because of their own sin, not YHWHâs weakness. B.Covenant faith has both a corporate and individual aspect. The New Covenant mentioned in Jer. 31:31-34 is basically individual, as are chapters 18 and 33. The New Covenant was also guaranteed by Godâs action (cf. chapters 36-37). This is the same balance between Godâs sovereignty and humanityâs covenental responsibilities expressed in the NT.C.God is faithful to the seed of Abraham (Gen. 12:1-3) and David (II Samuel 7). The Covenant will be reestablished (cf. chapters 37, 40-48). Exile was an act of love (i.e., disciplining parent).D.The problems for the Jews are not over, chapters 38-39 (cf. Daniel 7-12). There is an ongoing struggle between the people of God and fallen humanity (Psalm 2). Part of the "You Can Understand the Bible"^TM series.
