Ezekiel had a vision of a future temple filled with God’s Glory in a new city of Jerusalem located in a re-allotted land God had given the Israelites. The vision promised a restoration of exiled Israel to their homeland with the Lord living in their presence.
The hope Ezekiel’s vision engendered encouraged the people of Israel. Belief in God’s promises can transform our despair into hope today, too. Tsunami victims have hope (play video). Families of US soldiers serving in Iraq have hope of their return home alive and well. Fire victims have hope after their home is destroyed.
Any of the above ideas can be used to help us learn how to live in hope of Christ’s return and our coming transformation. Whatever our despair is, God can transform it into hope once we understand His purpose, His plans and His promises.
