The document provides historical context for understanding the prophet Ezekiel. It discusses the timeline of Ezekiel's ministry in relation to key events, including the fall of Jerusalem. Ezekiel received his call from God in 593 BC while exiled in Babylon, and was commissioned to warn Judah of coming judgment due to their sins but also to prophesy a future restoration. The document outlines the structure of Ezekiel's book, including his call, oracles of judgment on Judah and surrounding nations, and a final section depicting future blessing. Throughout, Ezekiel is presented as both a pastor who announces God's judgment but also limits to it, as well as an evangelist proclaiming messages of future hope.

The Ancient Empires of the Bible: The AssyriansStephen Palm

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer.
