Ezekiel (2026) The Movie That Shocked the World - FULL MOVIE 4K · truthunedited

0:11
Speaker 1: The skies tore like a veil. A devastating wind swept
0:15
Speaker 1: across the land, and flames of fire crossed the sky
0:20
Speaker 1: amidst thundering lightning. In the heart of the storm, the
0:31
Speaker 1: throne of God appeared.
0:40
Speaker 2: Son of Man, Stand up, for I have chosen you.
0:45
Speaker 1: Ezekiel was not a prophet, but God revealed the invisible
0:50
Speaker 1: to him, the flaming cherubim that supported his throne, the
0:55
Speaker 1: living wheels covered with eyes, moving in all directions without turning,
1:06
Speaker 1: and above all, the unbearable brilliance of the eternal.
1:14
Speaker 2: Take this scroll, eat it, let it become part of you,
1:18
Speaker 2: and prophesy even if they do not listen to you.
1:26
Speaker 1: But the revelation brought a terrible judgment. Jerusalem would fall
1:31
Speaker 1: under swords and flames, the temple would be consumed by fire,
1:35
Speaker 1: and the glory of God would rise departing from the
1:38
Speaker 1: people who had hardened their hearts. God's silence was the
1:48
Speaker 1: most feared, and now it became reality. Hope seemed buried
2:01
Speaker 1: until on a gloomy day, Ezekiel was taken to a
2:05
Speaker 1: desolate place, a lifeless valley where the ground was covered
2:10
Speaker 1: only by dust and scattered dry bones. Before the sun
2:29
Speaker 1: rose over Babylon. Silence already dominated the banks of the
2:33
Speaker 1: Kiba River. The waters flowed slowly, reflecting the colorless sky,
2:39
Speaker 1: as if even the creation was in mourning. Ali Sitting
2:46
Speaker 1: on a worn stone, a man remained still. His lost
2:51
Speaker 1: gaze seemed to traverse time. He was Ezekiel, son of Boozi,
2:57
Speaker 1: a priest of the Lord, but now in captivity. There
3:05
Speaker 1: was no temple, there was no altar. Only the memory
3:12
Speaker 1: and the promise remained. The people were scattered, humiliated, far
3:23
Speaker 1: from Zion. The streets of Jerusalem had been burned and
3:28
Speaker 1: the temple was looted. Many blamed God, others silently hated themselves.
3:39
Speaker 1: But Ezekiel, although overwhelmed with grief, remained vigilant. Something inside
3:45
Speaker 1: him was burning, an unease, a silent cry. One morning,
3:50
Speaker 1: while the captives were busy with their burdens, the wind changed.
3:56
Speaker 1: A deep sound, like the roar of many waters began
4:00
Speaker 1: to fill the skies. Ezekiel stood up, eyes wide open.
4:06
Speaker 1: The air became dense and heavy. Then he saw a
4:13
Speaker 1: whirlwind was forming in the north. Inside it a bright fire,
4:18
Speaker 1: continuous lightning, and in the center four living beings, each
4:26
Speaker 1: with four faces and extended wings, underneath them, wheels moving
4:33
Speaker 1: in all directions, full of eyes, and above all a
4:41
Speaker 1: figure on a sapphire throne with the appearance of a
4:45
Speaker 1: man surrounded by radiant fire. The throne itself seemed to
4:51
Speaker 1: be ablaze. Ezekiel fell with his face to the ground.
4:58
Speaker 1: The silence was broken by a voice.
5:01
Speaker 2: Like thunder, Son of Man, stand up, and I will
5:05
Speaker 2: speak with you.
5:09
Speaker 1: He tried, but his legs gave way. Then something invisible
5:14
Speaker 1: lifted him, a spirit that enveloped him with strength and peace.
5:19
Speaker 1: At the same time, he.
5:23
Speaker 2: Send you to the children of Israel, a rebellious nation
5:27
Speaker 2: that has rebelled against me. You will tell them this
5:32
Speaker 2: is what the Lord God says.
5:34
Speaker 1: Ezekiel replied with a trembling.
5:36
Speaker 3: Voice, Sir, who am I? They won't listen, But.
5:40
Speaker 1: The voice interrupted him.
5:43
Speaker 2: Do not fear, son of Man, even if you are
5:45
Speaker 2: among thorns and scorpions. Speak my words, whether they listen
5:50
Speaker 2: or refuse to listen, for they are a rebellious house.
5:59
Speaker 1: Before him appeared a scroll. It was written on both
6:03
Speaker 1: sides with words of lamentation, weeping, and woe.
6:10
Speaker 2: The voice spoke again, Son of Man, eat this scroll
6:14
Speaker 2: and go speak to the House of Israel.
6:18
Speaker 1: Ezekiel took the scroll to his mouth. Surprisingly, it was
6:22
Speaker 1: as sweet as honey. With the spirit still upon him,
6:25
Speaker 1: he was taken in a vision, and upon returning, bitterness
6:31
Speaker 1: filled his heart. For seven days he remained silent among
6:36
Speaker 1: the captives, sitting like a stone among the people, astonished,
6:42
Speaker 1: but the fire burned in his chest. Then a new
6:46
Speaker 1: word came to him.
6:49
Speaker 2: Son of Man, I have appointed you as a watchman
6:53
Speaker 2: over the House of Israel. When you hear my voice,
6:56
Speaker 2: give them a warning from me. If I say to
6:59
Speaker 2: the wicked, you will die and you do not warn him,
7:03
Speaker 2: I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if
7:07
Speaker 2: you warn him and he does not turn, he will
7:10
Speaker 2: die for his guilt, and you will save your soul.
7:20
Speaker 1: The responsibility was crushing him, but Ezekiel now understood the
7:26
Speaker 1: calling was greater than his pain. It was greater than exile.
7:31
Speaker 1: It was the very word of God crying out in
7:34
Speaker 1: the desert of the human soul. One night, while the
7:37
Speaker 1: people were sleeping and the stars hid behind the Babylonian clouds,
7:42
Speaker 1: Ezekiel was transported again. A wind lifted him between the
7:50
Speaker 1: sky and the earth and took him to Jerusalem, not
7:56
Speaker 1: the city he remembered, but a spiritual, distorted vision, as
8:00
Speaker 1: if sin had torn down its walls. Inside the temple,
8:07
Speaker 1: where holiness should dwell, Ezekiel saw abominations, carved images, priests
8:14
Speaker 1: burning incense to idols, women mourning for pagan gods, men
8:21
Speaker 1: turning their backs to the altar, and worshiping the sun.
8:27
Speaker 1: Ezekiel's face twisted.
8:29
Speaker 3: He screamed, sir, how can this be happening?
8:36
Speaker 1: The response came like lightning?
8:39
Speaker 2: Do you see some of man? I will show you
8:42
Speaker 2: greater abominations.
8:46
Speaker 1: The scene changed now the glory of God was slowly
8:51
Speaker 1: rising from the temple, moving out as if saying goodbye.
8:56
Speaker 1: The city that should be a light was now plunging
8:59
Speaker 1: into darkness. Ezekiel fell to his knees, tears streaming through
9:07
Speaker 1: his hands.
9:11
Speaker 3: No, do not let your presence leave us, But.
9:16
Speaker 1: The decision had already been made. The chapter closes with
9:20
Speaker 1: the silence of the sky and the distant echo of thunder.
9:24
Speaker 1: As Ezekiel wakes from the vision, sweating and trembling, he
9:28
Speaker 1: knows time is running out. The judgment will come, but
9:33
Speaker 1: there is still a spark left. The day dawned heavy over,
9:38
Speaker 1: tell abebe a gray mantle covered the sky and even
9:42
Speaker 1: muffled the sounds of the animals. In Ezekiel's heart, however,
9:48
Speaker 1: there was no more hesitation. The call was clear, and
9:53
Speaker 1: the weight of the sacred responsibility now rested on his shoulders.
9:58
Speaker 1: He stood before the peace, and for the first time,
10:03
Speaker 1: his voice broke the silence of the exile.
10:06
Speaker 3: Listen to the word of the Lord. Because Jerusalem will
10:09
Speaker 3: not fall due to the strength of Babylon, but because
10:12
Speaker 3: of the wickedness of its own walls. The Most High
10:15
Speaker 3: has departed from his temple because there was no more
10:18
Speaker 3: room for him there.
10:22
Speaker 1: The elders watched him with distrust. Some laughed, others whispered,
10:28
Speaker 1: But Ezekiel went on with firm gestures. He began to
10:34
Speaker 1: act out his visions. He built a small model of
10:39
Speaker 1: Jerusalem on the dirt ground, surrounded it with bricks, and
10:43
Speaker 1: erected miniature siege towers around it. Then he lay on
10:49
Speaker 1: his left side for three hundred and ninety days, and
10:53
Speaker 1: afterwards on his right side for forty days, as a
10:56
Speaker 1: sign of judgment on Israel and Judah. People saw him
11:01
Speaker 1: every day in that position, motionless, eyes fixed on nothing,
11:06
Speaker 1: but full of invisible messages. At the end of each day,
11:12
Speaker 1: he ate bread baked over dry dung as a sign
11:16
Speaker 1: that the people of Jerusalem would eat in terror among
11:19
Speaker 1: the nations. His body weakened, but his soul was inflamed
11:25
Speaker 1: with the fire of the Lord. One morning, the word
11:30
Speaker 1: of the Lord came back harshly.
11:34
Speaker 2: Son of man, stomp with your feet and clap your hands,
11:38
Speaker 2: for great is the terror that is coming. Sword, famine,
11:42
Speaker 2: and plague will bring an end to the rebellion.
11:52
Speaker 1: Ezekiel suddenly stood up, walked to the center of the
11:55
Speaker 1: exile's camp and shouted.
12:00
Speaker 3: Thus says the Lord. One third of you will die
12:03
Speaker 3: by plague, another will fall by the sword, and the
12:07
Speaker 3: rest will be scattered to the winds. Because you rejected
12:10
Speaker 3: my statutes and profaned my sabbaths.
12:14
Speaker 1: A cold silence spread among the captives. Some moved away,
12:19
Speaker 1: others just lowered their eyes. But Ezekiel did not stop.
12:24
Speaker 1: He had become a herald of something greater than himself.
12:30
Speaker 1: One night he had another vision. A hand reached from
12:36
Speaker 1: the heavens, and the spirit took him back to Jerusalem.
12:40
Speaker 1: But now he didn't only see idols. He saw the
12:44
Speaker 1: heart of the city, and it was rotten in the temple.
12:49
Speaker 1: Seventy men, elders, leaders of the people stood before walls
12:54
Speaker 1: covered with abominable figures, reptiles, beasts, strange gods, which had
13:00
Speaker 1: a censer in hand. One of them, Jasanius, murmured, the
13:09
Speaker 1: Lord has abandoned us.
13:10
Speaker 2: Let's make our own justice.
13:16
Speaker 1: Ezekiel wanted to shout, but he was invisible to the scene.
13:20
Speaker 1: The voice of God echoed, again.
13:24
Speaker 2: Do you see, son of man, judgment is at the doors.
13:28
Speaker 1: Following the vision, six men with deadly weapons appeared beside
13:33
Speaker 1: the temple. One seventh, dressed in linen with an ink
13:41
Speaker 1: pot at his waist, walked ahead. The glory of God.
13:46
Speaker 2: Shouted, go through the middle of the city and put
13:52
Speaker 2: a mark on the foreheads of those who sigh and
13:55
Speaker 2: cry because of the abominations.
13:59
Speaker 1: And to the others, he said.
14:01
Speaker 2: Pass by him. Kill without mercy, from the old man
14:04
Speaker 2: to the young, virgin child and woman, but do not
14:08
Speaker 2: touch any one who has the mark.
14:13
Speaker 1: Ezekiel shouted in despair.
14:15
Speaker 3: Ah, Lord God, will you destroy all the remnant of
14:19
Speaker 3: Israel by pouring out your indignation on Jerusalem.
14:24
Speaker 1: The answer was silence, But the silence of God was
14:29
Speaker 1: sharper than the sword of men the scene itself. The
14:37
Speaker 1: light went out. Ezekiel woke up among the exiles, pale
14:42
Speaker 1: as the moon. He fell to his knees. There was
14:46
Speaker 1: no strength left in his limbs. Days later a new
14:54
Speaker 1: instruction came to him. This time it was to cut
14:58
Speaker 1: his hair with a sword, divided into three parts, one
15:03
Speaker 1: burned in the fire, another struck with the blade around
15:07
Speaker 1: the miniature city, and the last scattered to the wind.
15:11
Speaker 1: A small portion he should keep in the fold of
15:14
Speaker 1: his robe, a remnant preserved. He obeyed without questioning, and
15:26
Speaker 1: while doing so, murmured quietly to himself.
15:30
Speaker 3: Lord, what will become of your people?
15:35
Speaker 2: The response was quick. When I scatter you among the nations,
15:39
Speaker 2: you shall know that I am the Lord. But there
15:42
Speaker 2: will be a remnant, and they will remember me among
15:45
Speaker 2: the nations where they are taken captive for their adultery
15:50
Speaker 2: with their idols has broken my heart. That was the
16:02
Speaker 2: first spark of mercy amidst so much judgment. But Ezekiel
16:08
Speaker 2: was not yet ready for hope. He saw in a
16:13
Speaker 2: vision mountains burning, devastated fields, women eating their own children
16:21
Speaker 2: in desperation. Hunger and the siege were coming. But in
16:30
Speaker 2: the midst of this darkness, something changed. For the first
16:34
Speaker 2: time in a long time, God did not speak about destruction.
16:39
Speaker 2: He said, son of Man, turn your face toward the
16:43
Speaker 2: mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them. Say, mountains of Israel,
16:49
Speaker 2: hear the word of the Lord. Behold, I will bring
16:53
Speaker 2: a sword upon you. But where your destroyed altars are there,
16:58
Speaker 2: I will bring forth.
17:04
Speaker 1: The flame of faith rekindled in Ezekiel, small, fragile, but alive.
17:11
Speaker 1: And in that same spirit came the greatest of all visions,
17:15
Speaker 1: one that would forever change the course of the prophet
17:19
Speaker 1: and God's own people. The night fell silent over Babylon.
17:25
Speaker 1: The wind did not blow. Not even the cricket stared
17:29
Speaker 1: to see. Ezekiel lay down, exhausted, but found no rest.
17:35
Speaker 1: His body was in captivity, but his soul was pulled
17:39
Speaker 1: to another place. Suddenly, the light around him vanished. Everything
17:45
Speaker 1: turned dark, and then, as if the heavens had torn apart,
17:51
Speaker 1: he was possessed by a powerful spirit and taken to
17:55
Speaker 1: a place never seen before. It was a vast valley,
18:03
Speaker 1: infinitely wide. The ground was cracked and dry, as if
18:08
Speaker 1: even time itself had fled from there. But what dominated
18:12
Speaker 1: that place was neither the ground nor the sky. It
18:17
Speaker 1: was bones, thousands, millions, scattered throughout the field, white, dried,
18:22
Speaker 1: broken human bones, fragments of a lost nation, buried not
18:29
Speaker 1: by soil but by forgetfulness. Ezekiel stood there frozen. A
18:36
Speaker 1: voice echoed behind him, strong and calm.
18:42
Speaker 2: Son of man, can these bones live?
18:46
Speaker 1: The prophet did not dare to turn around. His heart
18:50
Speaker 1: was beating like a war drum. He responded with reverence, Lord, God,
18:56
Speaker 1: you know it. The voice spoke again. Now close.
19:01
Speaker 2: Prophesy to these bones, and say, dry bones. Hear the
19:05
Speaker 2: word of the Lord.
19:10
Speaker 1: Ezekiel hesitated, but felt the spirit prompt him, so he
19:14
Speaker 1: took a deep breath, raised his arms and declared.
19:20
Speaker 3: Thus says the Lord, to these bones. Behold, I will
19:24
Speaker 3: cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. And
19:27
Speaker 3: I will lay sinews upon you. I will make flesh
19:30
Speaker 3: grow upon you and cover you with skin, and put
19:34
Speaker 3: breath in you, and you shall live, and you shall
19:37
Speaker 3: know that I am the Lord.
19:40
Speaker 1: The ground shook, A boom echoed through the valley, like
19:44
Speaker 1: the creaking of ancient doors opening in the sky, and
19:48
Speaker 1: the bones began to move, first discreetly, then with violence.
19:54
Speaker 1: A bone joined another vertebrae fitted into columns. The gulls
20:00
Speaker 1: rolled to their respective bodies. The whole valley became a
20:05
Speaker 1: living chaos. Ezekiel watched with wide eyes. He saw tendons emerging,
20:13
Speaker 1: muscles forming, flesh covering the bones, skin enveloping the bodies.
20:22
Speaker 1: In just a few moments, an entire army lay before him.
20:26
Speaker 1: But they were not breathing. They were motionless, like human
20:30
Speaker 1: statues made of dead flesh. The voice of the Lord
20:35
Speaker 1: echoed again.
20:40
Speaker 2: Prophesy, O son of Man, and say to the spirit,
20:44
Speaker 2: Thus says the Lord God, Come from the four winds,
20:47
Speaker 2: O Spirit, and breathe upon these dead, that they may live.
20:54
Speaker 1: Ezekiel raised his hands to the sky and shouted.
20:57
Speaker 3: Spirit, come, breathe your life upon this forgotten people. Lift
21:00
Speaker 3: them from the dust of shame, and raise them so
21:02
Speaker 3: they may see your glory.
21:08
Speaker 1: The wind blew, but it was not an ordinary wind.
21:12
Speaker 1: It was as if the very breath of God had
21:14
Speaker 1: descended upon the valley. The air trembled. One by one,
21:20
Speaker 1: the bodies opened their eyes, took a deep breath, and
21:24
Speaker 1: stood up. Thousands of men rose at the same time,
21:30
Speaker 1: old clothes still covered, some war scars marked their bodies,
21:35
Speaker 1: but now they were alive, standing silent yet filled with
21:40
Speaker 1: a new spirit. Isikil could hardly believe it. He was
21:50
Speaker 1: surrounded by an army. So the gentleman said to him.
21:58
Speaker 2: Son of man, these bones of the whole house of Israel. Behold,
22:03
Speaker 2: they say, our bones are dried up, and our hope
22:07
Speaker 2: has perished. We are cut off. Therefore prophesy and say
22:12
Speaker 2: to them, thus says the Lord God. Behold, I will
22:17
Speaker 2: open your graves and bring you out of them, O
22:19
Speaker 2: my people, and I will bring you to the land
22:23
Speaker 2: of Israel.
22:28
Speaker 1: Ezekiel fell to his knees. Tears were streaming down his face.
22:34
Speaker 1: For the first time, he saw not just judgment, but
22:38
Speaker 1: a promise. That army was proof that God had not
22:44
Speaker 1: abandoned his people, that even after death, hope could still live.
22:56
Speaker 2: The Lord concluded, they will put my spirit in you.
22:59
Speaker 2: In you will live, and I will place you in
23:02
Speaker 2: your own land. And you will know that I, the Lord,
23:05
Speaker 2: have spoken this and done it.
23:11
Speaker 1: The vision faded. Ezekiel woke up among the captives with
23:15
Speaker 1: tears in his eyes. A boy approached him.
23:23
Speaker 3: Ezekiel, are you okay?
23:26
Speaker 1: He looked at the boy, smiled and said, yes, much
23:32
Speaker 1: more than before. In the days that followed, his voice
23:37
Speaker 1: gained new strength. He spoke to the people about the valley,
23:41
Speaker 1: about the bones, about the life that returned from death.
23:46
Speaker 1: Some listened in silence, others cried, but no one doubted
23:51
Speaker 1: any more that the Lord still spoke to his people.
23:54
Speaker 1: Ezekiel knew that the restoration would not be immediate, but
23:59
Speaker 1: the process had begun. The spirit of God was at work,
24:05
Speaker 1: and so the prophet, who once announced only destruction, now
24:09
Speaker 1: carried within him a powerful vision that God can turn
24:14
Speaker 1: even the driest places into fields of life. But that
24:20
Speaker 1: would not be his last vision. God would still show
24:25
Speaker 1: him a future where the heart of stone would be
24:28
Speaker 1: replaced by one of flesh, and where the nation would
24:31
Speaker 1: not only be a people, but one flock under a
24:35
Speaker 1: single shepherd. The sun was starting to rise on the
24:45
Speaker 1: horizon of Babylon, tinting the sky a deep orange. Ezekiel
24:51
Speaker 1: stood still before the waters of the Chibbar, where many
24:55
Speaker 1: came to seek hope in his voice. But he did
24:58
Speaker 1: not speak for himself. His words were like flames burning
25:03
Speaker 1: in his chest, ignited by the spirit of God himself.
25:11
Speaker 1: That morning, the Lord called him once again, son of Man.
25:16
Speaker 1: When the House of Israel lived in their land, they
25:19
Speaker 1: defiled it with their ways and actions. Therefore I scattered
25:23
Speaker 1: them among the nations. But I I will bring them back,
25:27
Speaker 1: not because of them, but for the sake of my
25:30
Speaker 1: holy name. Ezekiel felt the weight of those words. Restoration
25:39
Speaker 1: would come not by the merit of the people, but
25:43
Speaker 1: by the faithfulness of God himself. It was grace, mercy,
25:49
Speaker 1: eternal covenant. The Lord continued, I will sprinkle pure water
25:59
Speaker 1: on you, and you will be clean. I will purify
26:03
Speaker 1: you from all your impurities and all your idols. And
26:06
Speaker 1: I will give you a new heart and put a
26:08
Speaker 1: new spirit within you. The words resonated in Ezekiel's bones,
26:19
Speaker 1: as if he himself were being purified at that moment.
26:26
Speaker 1: The promise of a new heart, How would that be possible.
26:32
Speaker 3: Lord, How can a people that has forgotten you learn
26:35
Speaker 3: to love you.
26:38
Speaker 2: I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh,
26:41
Speaker 2: and I will give you a heart of flesh. I
26:44
Speaker 2: will put my spirit within you and make you walk
26:47
Speaker 2: in my statutes.
26:54
Speaker 1: The prophet fell to his knees. He saw in spirit
26:58
Speaker 1: men and women crying. As they turned back to the
27:01
Speaker 1: Lord again. He saw destroyed altars being rebuilt, but this
27:09
Speaker 1: time in spirit and in truth. God was shaping a
27:14
Speaker 1: new identity for Israel, not based on walls, but on
27:18
Speaker 1: inner communion, not in dead rituals, but in true life.
27:26
Speaker 1: In the following days, a new vision emerged. The Lord said, you,
27:37
Speaker 1: son of Man, take a piece of wood and write
27:40
Speaker 1: on it Judah and the sons of Israel his companions.
27:45
Speaker 2: Then take another piece of wood and write Joseph Rod
27:49
Speaker 2: of Ephraim and all the house of Israel. His companions
27:54
Speaker 2: joined them together, so they become one piece of wood
27:57
Speaker 2: and become one in your hand.
28:06
Speaker 1: Ezekiel did as instructed. Many came to watch him, intrigued,
28:13
Speaker 1: what does that mean? Prophet Ezekiel responded with a firm voice.
28:19
Speaker 1: Thus says the Lord God. Behold, I will take the
28:23
Speaker 1: children of Israel from among the nations where they have gone,
28:27
Speaker 1: and gather them from all parts and make them one
28:30
Speaker 1: nation in the land. Never again shall they be two kingdoms.
28:36
Speaker 1: The captives looked at each other that historical division between
28:41
Speaker 1: north and south. Could it really be erased? Then, Ezekiel continued, but.
28:50
Speaker 3: They will never again be contaminated with idols or transgressions.
28:54
Speaker 3: God will save and purify them and they will be
28:57
Speaker 3: his people, and he will be their God.
29:02
Speaker 1: Then the voice of the Lord overwhelmed him with strength again.
29:06
Speaker 2: And I will set over them one shepherd, and he
29:09
Speaker 2: will tend them my servant. David will be king over them.
29:14
Speaker 2: They will all have one shepherd. They will walk in
29:17
Speaker 2: my judgments and keep my statutes.
29:21
Speaker 1: The reference to David the king after God's own heart,
29:25
Speaker 1: rekindled memories of a glorious time. But Davy was already dead.
29:34
Speaker 1: Ezekiel knew it was a descendant, a promised king, a
29:39
Speaker 1: future messiah. God spoke of a new covenant, not like
29:49
Speaker 1: the one made at Sinai written on stone tablets. This
29:56
Speaker 1: would be written on the heart, engraved with the fire
30:00
Speaker 1: of the spirit. And the Lord concluded, I will make
30:05
Speaker 1: a peace pact with them. It will be an eternal alliance.
30:10
Speaker 1: And I will place my sanctuary among them forever, and I.
30:14
Speaker 2: Will dwell with them. And you will know that I
30:17
Speaker 2: am the Lord who sanctifies Israel when my sanctuary is
30:22
Speaker 2: among them forever.
30:24
Speaker 1: Those words resonated with Ezekiel for days. They weren't just promises.
30:30
Speaker 1: They were the announcement of a bigger plan, a complete
30:33
Speaker 1: restoration spiritual, moral and national. One afternoon, he was walking
30:40
Speaker 1: among the captives when an elderly woman approached him. Her
30:44
Speaker 1: eyes were deep set, her face wrinkled by time and pain.
30:52
Speaker 2: Ezekiel, is all this really true? Will you be with
30:56
Speaker 2: us again?
30:59
Speaker 1: He firmly held her trembling hands and replied.
31:03
Speaker 3: Yes, not because of our faithfulness, but because of his.
31:08
Speaker 1: She started crying. That night, the camp seemed different. There
31:16
Speaker 1: was a sparkle in the men's eyes. The children listened
31:21
Speaker 1: to the stories more attentively. Hope was returning, albeit timidly,
31:28
Speaker 1: like a seed breaking through the dry earth. Ezekiel knew
31:32
Speaker 1: the journey would still be long, but the people were
31:36
Speaker 1: beginning to change, not under pressure, but because the spirit
31:41
Speaker 1: of God had begun to breathe into their hearts. The
31:46
Speaker 1: Valley of dry Bones was still fresh in his memory,
31:52
Speaker 1: but now the image of hearts of stone being removed
31:56
Speaker 1: was even more powerful. Because what God promised he would fulfill,
32:02
Speaker 1: and more was still to come. The spirit of the
32:06
Speaker 1: Lord would come again upon Ezekiel to lead him to
32:09
Speaker 1: a grand vision, immense in details and promises. What he
32:15
Speaker 1: would see next would not be just about the people,
32:20
Speaker 1: more about the glory of God himself. Returning to dwell
32:24
Speaker 1: among men. It was the twenty fifth year of exile.
32:36
Speaker 1: Time was no longer measured in seasons, but in hopes deferred.
32:42
Speaker 1: Even so, the people were starting to silently flourish. Ezekiel's
32:47
Speaker 1: words had sunk deep, and that year God chose to
32:52
Speaker 1: reveal something beyond human understanding. On the fourteenth day of
32:58
Speaker 1: the first month, the spirit came upon the prophet again,
33:03
Speaker 1: but this time it did not take him to ruins
33:06
Speaker 1: or dark valleys. It lifted him to a very high mountain,
33:11
Speaker 1: and there on it something appeared like a golden city.
33:16
Speaker 1: In the distance, a man was waiting. He had a
33:20
Speaker 1: shiny bronze appearance, with a measuring rod in his hand,
33:24
Speaker 1: and he said.
33:29
Speaker 2: Son of man, pay close attention to everything. Show the
33:32
Speaker 2: House of Israel, everything that will be revealed to you.
33:36
Speaker 1: In front of them rose walls and gates of majestic proportions.
33:41
Speaker 1: The temple in its glory appeared before the eyes of Ezekiel,
33:47
Speaker 1: But it was not the old one. This was new, pure, precise,
33:55
Speaker 1: measured not by human architects, but by the sky itself.
34:02
Speaker 1: The man started measuring each cubit, each entrance, each lobby,
34:07
Speaker 1: each chamber, Ezekiel recorded everything in silence, knowing that every
34:13
Speaker 1: detail had a purpose. It wasn't just a building, It
34:20
Speaker 1: was the representation of something eternal, order, holiness, community. As
34:28
Speaker 1: they moved forward, everything was pristine, no stains, no cracks.
34:34
Speaker 1: It was as if the temple itself was alive with
34:37
Speaker 1: the presence of God.
34:40
Speaker 2: Upon entering the.
34:40
Speaker 1: Holy of Holies, Ezekiel stopped. The air was different, dense, sacred.
34:48
Speaker 1: Then suddenly he heard.
34:51
Speaker 2: Son of Man, this is where my throne is, and
34:53
Speaker 2: the place for the souls of my feet. Here I
34:56
Speaker 2: will dwell among the children of Israel forever.
35:01
Speaker 1: It was as if Ezekiel's heart stopped for a moment.
35:05
Speaker 1: The glory of God, which he had previously seen leave Jerusalem,
35:10
Speaker 1: was now returning, and not only returning, it was staying.
35:15
Speaker 1: The scene changed. The Angel took him to the entrance
35:19
Speaker 1: of the temple, and behold, water flowed from the base
35:23
Speaker 1: of the altar towards the yeast. Initially they were just trickles,
35:30
Speaker 1: but every one hundred cubids they grew deeper. First they
35:34
Speaker 1: covered the ankles, then the knees, then the loins, until
35:39
Speaker 1: they became a river too deep to cross on foot.
35:48
Speaker 2: Did you see this, son of Maine.
35:51
Speaker 1: The Angel guided him along the shore, and there, as
35:57
Speaker 1: the river flowed, trees sprouted on both sides, tall and leafing.
36:06
Speaker 1: Its fruits never stopped, its leaves never withered.
36:17
Speaker 2: At Deity, these waters flow from the temple into the
36:20
Speaker 2: dead Sea. Wherever this river reaches, everything lives.
36:25
Speaker 1: Ezekiels or fish, birds and animals appearing on the banks.
36:31
Speaker 1: A new eden, a new creation, chaos being reversed by
36:36
Speaker 1: the water of life. Then said the Angel.
36:42
Speaker 2: The leaves of these trees will be used for healing,
36:47
Speaker 2: and the fruits will be everlasting food.
36:50
Speaker 1: The voice of the Lord then came not with thunder,
36:53
Speaker 1: but like a gentle breeze. This is the heritage of
36:58
Speaker 1: my people, a stored land, a sanctuary in their midst
37:03
Speaker 1: and I will be with them forever. Ezekiel then saw
37:09
Speaker 1: the priests serving in the temple, but they were different.
37:17
Speaker 1: They were not stained or corrupted. They were separate, men, clean, zealous,
37:23
Speaker 1: and on the altar. The sacrifices were no longer just
37:26
Speaker 1: flesh and blood, but acts of pure worship. The Lord
37:36
Speaker 1: instructed him in detail about the gates, the courtyards, the boundaries,
37:41
Speaker 1: and the territories of the tribes. Everything was distributed with fairness.
37:47
Speaker 1: The land was again given to the people, not according
37:50
Speaker 1: to power, but according to the promise. In the following days,
37:57
Speaker 1: Ezekiel stayed secluded, writing down down each vision your eyes
38:05
Speaker 1: were shining. What he saw was not just a distant future,
38:10
Speaker 1: but a spiritual reality already beginning to draw near. One
38:15
Speaker 1: of the elders approached.
38:16
Speaker 2: Him, Prophet, will this temple truly be built?
38:23
Speaker 1: Ezekiel put down the pen, looked at the sky, and answered.
38:29
Speaker 3: It is already being built in the heart of everyone
38:31
Speaker 3: who listens and believes.
38:34
Speaker 1: But there was still something more, the final revelation, the
38:39
Speaker 1: seal of everything that had been shown, a promise not
38:43
Speaker 1: measured in cubits, but in eternity. It was a city
38:47
Speaker 1: built not just with stones, but with justice. Its streets
38:51
Speaker 1: were not corrupted, its gates never closed. There was no weeping,
38:56
Speaker 1: no pain, nor memory of exile. It stretched out before
39:04
Speaker 1: her eyes like a new world emerging from.
39:07
Speaker 2: The heart of God. And the Lord said, this will
39:16
Speaker 2: be the final measurement of the city, and the name
39:18
Speaker 2: of the city from that day will be each w shummer.
39:23
Speaker 2: The Lord is there.
39:26
Speaker 1: Ezekiel got up. His eyes were watering. He walked among
39:32
Speaker 1: the exiles with steady steps. The people now looked at
39:40
Speaker 1: him with reverence. It was because of this that he
39:44
Speaker 1: had endured so much silence, so that that captive generation
39:51
Speaker 1: would dream again of a city where God's name is
39:54
Speaker 1: not just invoked, but lived
