Ezekiel 20:45-21:32
Dear RTB’ers,
Prophesies today against the Negev (the southern part of Judah along its southern border), Jerusalem, and Ammon. Again STS offers some good explanations.
…this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Remove the turban and take off the crown; this will no longer be the same. Exalt that which is low, and humble that which is high. Ruins, ruins, ruins, I will make it! This also will be no longer until He comes whose right it is, and I will give it to Him.’ (Ez. 21:26-27, NASB) I have quoted the NASB here because they capitalize deific pronouns, suggesting that these verses are Messianic. In the ESV it is not clear that these verses are Messianic; my Study Bible even suggests that the reference could be to Nebuchadnezzar.
So much of what we read depends on translation. We need to ask the Lord always to reveal to us what He wants us to know. If He wants us to become Old Testament scholars, that’ll be His call!
Blessings.
