Read Ezekiel Chapter 21 Summary

God commands Ezekiel to prophesy that His sword is drawn against Jerusalem and the land of Israel, against all flesh from south to north. The sword of Babylon's king comes to a crossroads; God directs it toward Jerusalem while the Ammonites wait. The profane prince of Israel's crown shall be removed until the rightful king comes.
