This course is a series of Bible lessons on the Old Testament designed for older (middle school) children. Each lesson is about 20 minutes in length. The video portion of each lesson is accompanied by a Lesson Guide containing quizzes and test questions. The Lesson Guide is available in pdf format and can be downloaded or printed out for the student to complete in class. This course is very well suited for both home schools and private Christian schools worldwide, though it is primarily designed for use in a group setting. Parents and teachers can provide additional guidance to supplement these lessons and Bible knowledge tests, if desired.
In this lesson we look at how God sends comforting words to his people of Judah, who are now in captivity in Babylon. First they were themselves conquered and carried away as slaves, and now they have received word that Jerusalem and the Temple have been destroyed. This was most devastating news indeed. They needed to know that God did this because of their sin, so God sends Ezekiel to convict them and call them to repentance. But in his great love and mercy, God also promises, through Ezekiel’s visions, to give them a new heart and restore them one day.
