A very sobering chapter, very sobering for those who are hostile against Israel today. God explains through Ezekiel the cause and effect for the things that will soon come to pass with regard to Edom. We can see historically that the things promised in Ezekiel did become reality.

Description:
Part 54 in this series of studies of book of Ezekiel.
Why was this chapter not included in the section on the judgment on the nations, from chapters 25 through 32? There was a section of judgment on Esau in chapter 25; why wasn't this added to that section?
Israel might ask how they can be restored with such enemies about, and this answers that question. Edom was Israel's most bitter enemy, going back to when Jacob and Esau fought while still in the womb. Through the Old Testament we see many kings of Israel were in conflict with Edom: Saul, Solomon, Jehoshephat, Jehoram, Ahaz, David, etc. So this conflict had been going on for a long time, and continues today.
God explains through Ezekiel the cause and effect for the things that will soon come to pass. We can see historically that the things promised in Ezekiel did become reality.
A very sobering chapter, very sobering for those who are hostile against Israel today. The spirit of the Edomites is alive and well, even though the Edomites themselves are gone. God says be careful about what you say about Israel and what you try to do to them: there will be consequences.
