raven in Ezekiel 39
RAY-ven
This creature shows up in Ezekiel 39:4: “You will fall on the mountains of Israel, you, and all your hordes, and the peoples who are with you. I will give you to the ravenous…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Ezekiel 39:4
“You will fall on the mountains of Israel, you, and all your hordes, and the peoples who are with you. I will give you to the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the animals of the field to be devoured.”
What kids can learn
When you hear raven in Ezekiel, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Ezekiel 39:4 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
