I needed three sittings over the day and an accumulation of 20 minutes to read this passage. In some ways I find it comforting to know that the nations in Ezekiel's days were filled with nationallistic arrogance. I find comfort in that news because it means that people have not changed much in 2,700 years. So not only were God's revelations fitting to people in those days, but they carry an equal message to the people of the world today. We live in a time with technology that would amaze Ezekiel and his peers, but the nature is just as corrupt with sin today as it was then. That means Jesus' redemptive work is equal in power today as it was in the first century.
