The Book Of Revelation Final Mystery Of The Ezekiel Decoder | Jonathan Cahn Sermon

In this powerful teaching, Jonathan Cahn reveals the deep prophetic connection between the Book of Ezekiel and the Book of Revelation—two of the most mysterious and profound books in the Bible. Discover how Ezekiel’s ancient visions align with the final chapters of Revelation, unlocking prophetic mysteries that point to the Messiah, the restoration of Israel, and the coming glory of the New Jerusalem.

Ezekiel’s Vision of the Millennial Temple

The Book of Ezekiel opens a prophetic window into the future—what he sees is a vision of the temple in the Millennial Kingdom, the thousand-year reign of the Messiah. This physical kingdom is a shadow of the eternal one described by John in the Book of Revelation. While Ezekiel sees the earthly temple, John witnesses the heavenly—eternal in nature.

The First Resurrection and the Thousand-Year Reign

Revelation speaks of thrones and judgment, of souls who were martyred for the testimony of Jesus and the Word of God. These individuals had refused to worship the beast or receive his mark. They came to life and reigned with the Messiah for a thousand years—this is the first resurrection.

Ezekiel also speaks of resurrection and restoration—especially of Israel. In Ezekiel 34, God says He will seek out His scattered sheep and bring them back from the nations, feeding them on the mountains of Israel and guiding them to streams of water.

Restoration of Israel and a Cosmic Fulfillment

In Revelation 7, we see a parallel vision. God’s people are no longer hungry or thirsty—the Lamb becomes their Shepherd and leads them to springs of living water. These aren’t just national promises—they point to a universal fulfillment. After Israel’s restoration comes a global cosmic culmination.

Gog and Magog: The End-Time War

Ezekiel 38 and 39 reveal a prophetic war—an invasion by Gog from the land of Magog against a restored Israel. This same event is echoed in Revelation 20. After the thousand-year reign, Satan is released and gathers the nations—Gog and Magog—for one final war. Their numbers are like the sand of the sea.

God intervenes with fire from heaven. Just as in Ezekiel, judgment falls—hail, fire, brimstone, and plague rain down. This climactic event leads directly to the next prophetic chapter: the vision of a temple and a city.

Visions of the Holy City

Ezekiel is shown a structure like a city on a high mountain—Jerusalem. Revelation 21 shows John the New Jerusalem descending from heaven, prepared as a bride for her husband. Both prophets see a city of divine origin, the focus of God’s redemptive plan.

In both books, everything leads back to Jerusalem—the place of God’s presence, worship, and reign. As Ezekiel is in Babylon witnessing this, it’s no coincidence. Babylon destroyed Jerusalem. But after Babylon falls, Jerusalem rises. In Revelation, Babylon falls in chapter 18, and by chapter 21, New Jerusalem appears in glory.
