Day 249 – The Parable of Two Eagles and Israel’s Lament — Ezekiel 17–19 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

1 month ago
23

Ezekiel 17–19 unfolds with vivid parables and poetic laments. The parable of the two eagles in chapter 17 exposes Judah’s misplaced trust in foreign alliances rather than God. In chapter 18, God stresses personal responsibility for sin, declaring that each soul is accountable before Him. Chapter 19 closes with a lament over Israel’s fallen leaders, comparing them to a captured lion and a withered vine. Together, these passages confront pride, misplaced trust, and the need for repentance, while also offering hope in God’s justice and mercy.

Questions:
1. What does the parable of the two eagles teach us about trusting in worldly powers instead of God?

2. How does Ezekiel 18 challenge our understanding of individual responsibility for sin and righteousness?

3. What can we learn from the laments in chapter 19 about the consequences of failed leadership?
