God's Glory Returns

GOD’S GLORY RETURNS


Join your Calvary Chapel family tonight (Wednesday, 2/12, 7:00 p.m.) in the Holy Grounds Cafe or on our website (www.calvaryinv.com), Facebook, and YouTube (Calvary Inverness) as we continue our study of Ezekiel. 


In the chapters before us (40-43), Ezekiel begins bringing his dramatic book of prophecy to a close by describing a future Temple that will be built in Jerusalem. It will be different from the others built and eventually destroyed. God will fill the Temple with His glory and thus fulfill every promise made regarding Israel, its people, land, and place of worship. 


The Temple Ezekiel writes of is the period the Bible describes as the thousand-year reign of the Messiah on earth. Wars will be a thing of the past. Israel will, for the first time since their existence, occupy all the land God promised to Abraham. And Satan will be bound for the entire time in the Abyss.


Jesus will rule from the city of Jerusalem. The nations will come to the Capital city to hear Him teach the Word of God. Mankind and the earth will finally be at peace. Justice will rule the day because Jesus will have and continue adjudicating wrongdoing.

When one understands what the future holds for the believer, they will also understand why Ezekiel was given the elaborate and extensive detailed plans of the future rebuilt Temple. It was a reminder of God’s plan for His people and that He always fulfills His Word.


Please pray that this journey through the Word of God will be received by open hearts that long to grow in Jesus's grace and knowledge. Moreover, He will do deep and abiding work in and through us for a world desperately needing a Savior.

In His Strong Love,

Pastor
