So the cherubim lifted up their wings, with the wheels beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel was high above them.  Ezekiel 11:22

Evil Princes (False Prophets) Rebuked

And He said to me: “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity and give wicked counsel in this city, ³ who say, ‘The time is not near to build houses.. Ezekiel 11:2

⇒ 250 men  Ezekiel is told to hurl God’s word against the false prophets who promise Jerusalem peace.  The ruling clique there considers the city a cooking pot (the source of sustenance) and themselves meat (the choice members of society).  God will indeed make the city a cauldron.  But the “meat” of the city are the righteous dead this clique of false prophets and leaders has persecuted!  The persecutors will be driven out to die!  As Ezekiel speaks, a familiar aristocrat, Pelatiah, falls dead.

This city shall not be your caldron, nor shall you be the meat in its midst. I will judge you at the border of Israel. ¹² And you shall know that I am the Lord; for you have not walked in My statutes nor executed My judgments, but have done according to the customs of the heathen which are all around you.” Ezekiel 11:11,12

The Promise of Restoration and Renewal

Although I have cast them far off among the Gentiles, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet I shall be a little sanctuary for them in the countries where they have gone.” ‘ ¹⁷ Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “I will gather you from the peoples, assemble you from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.” Ezekiel 11:16,17

And they will go there, and they will take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from there. ¹⁹ Then I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh, ²⁰ that they may walk in My statutes and keep My judgments and do them; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God. Ezekiel 11:18-20

But as for those whose hearts follow the desire for their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their deeds on their own heads,” says the Lord God. Ezekiel 11:21

So the cherubim lifted up their wings, with the wheels beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel was high above them. ²³ And the glory of the Lord went up from the midst of the city and stood on the mountain, which is on the east side of the city. Ezekiel 11:22-23
