Ezekiel 3:3 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness."

Ezekiel 6:11 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Smite with thine hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.

At this time the Jews have been facing exile and many are being destroyed by the Babylonians.

Answer: 6

Ezekiel 9:2 "And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar."

According to John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible it was called the higher gate because it was above the court of Israel (http://www.freegrace.net/gill/Ezekiel/Ezekiel_9.htm)

Answer: thy lips

Ezekiel 24:17 "Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men."

Ezekiel here is being told he needs to make things right with the Lord. He has lost his wife and that has been hard on him, but he knows he needs to do what the Lord wants him to do.

Answer: Aven and Pibeseth

Ezekiel 30:17 "The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword: and these cities shall go into captivity."

Aven means "wickedness". Pibeseth means means "house of Bastet". It is about 45 minutes NE of Cairo, Egypt.

Answer: sinews

Ezekiel 37:6 "And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD."

Sinews are tendons and tissues that connect muscles to bones.

Answer: Valley of Hamongog

Ezekiel 39:11 "And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog."

Gog is very much anti-God and considered a very evil man. Hamongog means "horde of Gog".

Answer: there

Ezekiel 48:35 "It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there."

Christians believe that Ezekiel is prophesying the end times and in this verse in particular Heaven.
