Text: Ezekiel 35<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I. A prophecy against Edom<\/p>\n A. Timing is uncertain, but some estimate that it was given 5 years before\nNebuchadnezzar destroyed Edom\n B. Mount Seir belongs to the descendants of Esau. They had taken the land from the\nHorites – Deuteronomy 2:5, 12\n C. This prophecy is one of many against Edom – Isaiah 35; 63:1-6; Jeremiah 49:7-22;\nAmos 1:11; Obadiah\n
II. God promises to empty the land – Ezekiel 35:3-9<\/p>\n
A. Surprising problems – Jeremiah 49:17<\/p>\n
B. It was punishment for past wrongs – Joel 3:19; Malachi 1:3-4<\/p>\n
1. They never got over their hatred of Israel – Psalm 137:7<\/p>\n
2. They attacked Israel when it was weak – Obadiah 10-16; Amos 1:11<\/p>\n
C. Edom would be prepared for blood because it liked shedding blood<\/p>\n 1. There is a play on words here because the word for blood here is dam<\/i> and\nis related to the word for Edom, which means “red”\n
2. See Isaiah 63:1-6<\/p>\n
D. Travelers would not longer pass that way.<\/p>\n
E. The country will be littered with the slain<\/p>\n
F. It would not be rebuilt<\/p>\n 1. Just as Edom had perpetual hatred for Israel, their country would remain\nperpetually empty\n
III. The punishment was because they thought to take over Israel and Judah – Ezekiel 35:10-15<\/p>\n
A. They have longed plotted this end – Psalm 83:1-8, 12<\/p>\n
B. It did not disturb their plans that God’s dwelling place (temple) was in Israel<\/p>\n
C. Verse 11 indicates the motivation behind the hatred – envy.<\/p>\n
1. They would be punished in accordance to their wrong doing.<\/p>\n D. Their exaltation is called blasphemy because it implies that since God wasn’t\nstrong enough to protect Israel, they then could take the empty land -Lamentations\n4:21\n
1. But God heard them – Psalm 9:16; 94:9-11<\/p>\n 2. The rejoicing would be turned on them. The world will rejoice that Edom\nis gone – Isaiah 65:13-15; Obadiah 15\n
3. Proverbs 17:5<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrior Lesson\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEzekiel\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNext Lesson\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Prophecy Against Mount Seir Text: Ezekiel 35 I.
