Footnotes

  1. 34:24 Ezekiel is speaking God's message about the Messiah, God's special King. King David had died long before Ezekiel lived. Here, God says that the Messiah will be one ruler for all his people. God sent his Son, Jesus, into the world as a descendant of King David. See Isaiah 11:1-2; Jeremiah 30:9; Hosea 3:5; Micah 5:2.
