INSTRUCTIONS

I can only suggest how this study was originally conducted and it was very successful. First of all, we triedto arrange a very informal atmosphere with the folks sitting in a loose circle. We would begin the session by havingtea, or cokes and an informal time of fellowship. Then we would have a prayer time with everyone suggesting namesof those for whom we should pray. It was also mentioned each session that we expected that each individual haveat least one person for whom they would agree to pray for in regards to that person’s salvation.

To actually begin the study the entire chapter would be read aloud with each one willing to read, taking thenumber of verses and dividing it by the number of people present and each one reading a portion.

Then the first one on the left (a habit of mine) would begin by reading the first question and giving theiranswer. The verse where their answer was found must also be given. Then the leader asks if everybody agrees. Letdiscussion carry on as necessary but not too long. Then go to the next question and the next person until all of thefifteen questions are answered. For the discussion questions (numbers 16-17-18) each person present should givetheir answer once again going from the first one on the left and so on. Answer one question at a time, with eachperson present giving their reasons for their answer each question. Discussion can be long or short depending onhow the group feels. Do not carry the class session on too long. Encourage each one to prepare his answersBEFORE the session begins if at all possible only because they will get more out of the discussion if they havethought about it.

INTRODUCTION

This book was given to the exiles in Babylon by Ezekiel whose name means “God Is Strong”. Heprophesied between the years of 593 and 571 B C. In 593 B C Ezekiel was called to be a prophet while he himselfwas in exile in Babylon. During the first part of his ministry the temple still stood and Jerusalem had not beendestroyed.

When this news of Jerusalem’s destruction and the total ruin of the temple, Ezekiel began to proclaim a newmessage of hope and final restoration of His people. God was going to being His people from the ends of the earthto once again live in their own land. Any nation that opposed them would be defeated and judged themselves.
