Cults of the Dead & The Inverse Eucharist | Ezekiel 38-39 Part X
#ezekiel #prophecy #endtimes
Ezekiel 39:17--18 Son of man, this is what the Lord GOD says: Tell every kind of bird and all the wild animals, ‘Assemble and come! Gather from all around to my sacrificial feast that I am slaughtering for you, a great feast on the mountains of Israel; you will eat flesh and drink blood. You will eat the flesh of mighty men and drink the blood of the earth’s princes: rams, lambs, male goats, and all the fattened bulls of Bashan.
The Hebrew phrase “nasi ha erets”, princes of the earth, can also mean “chieftains of the underworld.” The gibborim are also twice named among those being slaughtered. This is not a coincidence. But what does this phrase, in this context, point to?
What is the significance of the bulls of Bashan being mentioned in association with the earth’s princes?
We will also examine the meaning and symbolism of this sacrificial feast in light of the New Testament.
As Joseph Blenkinsopp says, “As incongruous as it may seem, the Eucharistic language of the NT also echoes the language used here - the summons to the Lord’s table; eating flesh and drinking blood - and in doing so, expresses the eschatological aspect of the Eucharistic meal.”
The sacrificial meal that Yahweh has prepared in Ezekiel 39 is not for human consumption. It is a reversal of the great messianic banquet.
Join us as we continue our study of the famous Gog and Magog prophecy!
