Ezekiel 36:36

Chuck Smith

The sermon explores the prophetic significance of Israel's restoration and the impending challenges it faces from its foes.
Chuck Smith discusses the prophetic significance of Ezekiel 36:36, emphasizing the re-gathering of Israel as a nation and the restoration of its land after centuries of desolation. He outlines the various foes that threaten Israel, including nations like Magog and Persia, and highlights their motives for invasion, such as territorial gain and strategic advantages. Smith reassures that despite these threats, God will intervene on behalf of Israel, resulting in the destruction of the invading forces and a miraculous restoration of the land. He concludes by noting that these events are indicative of the latter days and the acceptance of Israel by God, which may signal a departure of the Church.
