God then allows Ezekiel to see the events in the spiritual realms; God calls His angelic “Guards” to slay the idolaters in the city (Ezekiel 9). This action is later fulfilled when the armies of Babylon destroy the city and slay its inhabitants in 586 B.C. After witnessing the slaughter and judgment in the spiritual realms, Ezekiel cries out asking God, Ah, Lord God! Will You make a complete end of the remnant of Israel? (Ezekiel 11:12). God responds by promising a day of restoration, even though they are judged, they will be restored, God will bring them back to the land and put a “New Spirit in them”, they will be given a “heart of flesh”, they will then be “my people”. Even though the events seem bleak for the nation, God is not done with Israel, they will be restored. This restoration of obedience will take place in the last days, the end-times, when Israel comes to know their Messiah. Ezekiel 36 to 48 deals with these progression of events.
