S1 Episode 10: Intermission
#LongStoryShort August 8, 2021Reminder of the sermon outline:

The People have broken the covenant/law —> God answers: Isa. 53 and Jeremiah 31:31-34
The People are conquered —> God answers: Jeremiah 29 and Daniel
The People are lost and scattered —> God answers: Ezekiel 34:15-16; Jer. 31:10; Isa. 40:11
The Presence has left the building —> God answers: Eze. 11:16-21, Eze. 37; Ez. 47:1-12

As we approach the “intermission” between the seasons/acts/testaments, what questions and problems do you feel are still unresolved? Set the scene. What still needs to happen? What signs do we have as to what is coming?
Can you condense and communicate the overall message of the prophets to the people of Israel? What is God saying to them through the movements and changes in their history? From the Divided Kingdom to Exile and Captivity to Return and Rebuild?
Discuss the motif of the shepherd. Think of how many places shepherds are mentioned and used throughout scripture. In what ways is God our shepherd and what does that entail? (Ezekiel 34:15-16; Jer. 31:10; Isa. 40:11; Psalm 23; John 10:14)
What is the significance of Ezekiels final verse and the name of this city? (Ezekiel 48:35) Now compare this to Revelation 21:3.
We didn’t get time for it in this series, but what was the role of Ezra, Zerubbabel, Nehemiah and Haggai? Who were they and how did God use them?
