About this episode

In this episode, John Spencer discusses the themes of restoration and hope in Ezekiel 36:1–15, emphasizing God's faithfulness and the promise of renewal.

Thursday, July 2nd: In Episode 798 of The Daily Grind, we continue The Gospel According to Ezekiel with Part 33, "The Mountains Will Sing Again," from Ezekiel 36:1–15. After pronouncing judgment on Mount Seir, God now speaks hope over the mountains of Israel, promising that the devastated land will once again produce fruit, support thriving cities, and welcome His people home. The chapter reveals that God's redemption extends beyond individuals to creation itself as He begins reversing the effects of sin and exile. Ezekiel reminds us that restoration is grounded not in Israel's worthiness but in God's unwavering faithfulness to His covenant. Christians ultimately see these promises fulfilled in Jesus Christ, whose ministry inaugurated the renewal of all things and points forward to the new creation described in Revelation. Ezekiel 36 encourages us to trust the God who specializes in bringing life to places that seem beyond repair. Email me your questions, comments, and suggestions.
