00:00:01 In the chapter we just completed,
00:00:04 we learned how Ezekiel’s final vision assures us
00:00:07 that we all have a secure place
00:00:09 and a valuable assignment in the spiritual paradise.
00:00:14 In this chapter of the Pure Worship book,
00:00:16 we’ll see how that same vision provides us
00:00:19 with further heartwarming assurance.
00:00:23 Chapter 21 is entitled
00:00:25 “The Name of the City . . . Will Be Jehovah Is There,”
00:00:30 taken from Ezekiel 48:35.
00:00:35 Please read it with me:
00:00:37 “The perimeter will be 18,000 cubits.
00:00:42 “And the name of the city from that day on will be
00:00:45 Jehovah Is There.”
00:00:47 As you study this chapter,
00:00:50 look for the answers to these questions:
00:00:53 What does this visionary city represent,
00:00:57 and what lesson can we learn from its name?
00:01:01 What important reminder
00:01:04 does this vision have for elders?
00:01:07 What can we learn from Ezekiel’s description
00:01:09 of all the activities in and around the city gates?
00:01:14 What larger fulfillment
00:01:16 will Ezekiel’s vision have in the future?
00:01:19 May this chapter,
00:01:22 which will complete our discussion of Ezekiel’s final vision,
00:01:25 assure you of this unassailable truth:
00:01:29 Jehovah is and always will be
00:01:33 with his pure worshippers!
