Ezekiel 4 5 Judgement

Judgement Against Israel
• 390 days corresponded to years
• Interpretations
• Years from Solomon’s temple to the present • Future years of punishment
• 390 days represented days of the seige
• House of Israel – represented all 12 tribes
Judgement Against Judah
• 40 is significant
• Possibly 40 days of suffering corresponding to the 40 years in the wilderness
• 40 years added to 390 years = 430 years looked to the beginning of the Maccabean war against Antiochus
• Means of binding is unclear but signifies the inalterability of God’s judgement
