KEY VERSE: “And I will multiply upon you man and beast, and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the LORD” (Ezekiel 36:11).

TEXT: Ezekiel 36:1-15 (KJV)

1 Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord:

2 Thus saith the Lord God; Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:

3 Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the people:

4 Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God; Thus saith the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that are round about;

5 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.

6 Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:

7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame.

8 But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come.

9 For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown:

10 And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be builded:

11 And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

12 Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of men.

13 Thus saith the Lord God; Because they say unto you, Thou land devourest up men, and hast bereaved thy nations:

14 Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nations any more, saith the Lord God.

15 Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord God.

DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:

Of the rulers of ancient Egypt, Thutmose III of the 18th dynasty who reigned about 1479–25BCE, is often regarded as the greatest. Apart from his military prowess that took the empire to the zenith of its power, Thutmose III had remarkable civil works that marked his deeds. He was also a great hunter. However, he was said to have tried to destroy the memory of his predecessor, Queen Hatshepsut, by building a wall around one of her obelisks (memorial towers). Ironically, the said wall helped to preserve the obelisk for posterity.

Thutmose’s vain attempt to destroy the memory of his predecessor is akin to the touting and evil plots of the enemies of Israel that provoked a divine intervention. When the Israelites were in captivity in Babylon, the Edomites (Idumeans) plotted to exclude them and take over their land. Edomites were said to have taken possession of the mountainous parts of Judea, and the strategic fortresses in the country. They were ready to resist the Jews if ever they returned from Babylon.

Prophet Ezekiel delivered a message of consolation and hope to the “mountains of Israel” in a poetic style, assuring the people that the usurpers would be removed from their land. The Jews were promised a glorious future free from idolatrous bondage. The prophecy hinted at Israel’s restoration to their former glory after going into captivity due to their rebellion against God. This period of captivity served as a correction from God to bring them back in line. The entire situation demonstrates God’s love and faithfulness to His people, in line with His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It also points to the present grace period centred on Jesus Christ’s redemptive work, offering salvation, deliverance, restoration, and hope for a better future.

Whatever state you are today, understand that God is mindful of you. Your enemies, especially the enemy of your soul, may be saying to you, Aha, and even be laying claim to your possessions. Because of the redemptive covenant we have through Christ, the Lord will intervene for you and give you restoration and a guaranteed future. Put your faith in Him.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
