Does God Ever Give Up On People? (Ezekiel 10-11)

The Carson Center Podcast

In this lecture, Don Carson focuses on Ezekiel's vision of God's glory and the departure of the divine presence from the temple in Ezekiel 10–11. He explores the prophetic denunciation of Israel’s leaders, the promise of a new covenant, and the spiritual transformation of the people. Carson highlights the ultimate fulfillment of God’s purposes as seen in Revelation, where his people dwell with him in the new heaven and earth.

He teaches the following:

• How the departure of God’s glory is a mark of judgment
• God's promise to gather the exiles and give them an undivided heart
• The new covenant's removal of the need for mediating teachers
• How John’s vision in Revelation 5 reflects the fulfillment of God’s promises to Ezekiel
• God is always in control, and his way will triumph
• The final consummation of God’s promises is seen in the new heaven and earth
