The word of the Lord came through Ezekiel to the captives in Babylon recounting the steps that led to their dispersion. It introduced a message announcing the destruction of the kingdom of Judah and a change in human dominion. Their transgressions had borne fruit and they were reaping the harvest of their own sowing, for idolatry mingled with Sabbath desecration brought their trouble and captivity. Three more overturnings of dominion were to take place through Medo-Persia, Grecia, and Rome, and then Christ would come and the kingdom would be His.
