Sermons on The Rapture
Pastor Barry continues with the exposition, working through chapters 9 & 10. Before getting down to detail, though, there is a substantial commentary on present-day behaviour of various sections of our society and comparison with the things that Ezekiel was told to warn Israel about.

In this fifth part of the examination of the Book of Ezekiel, Pastor Barry looks at some of the warnings and predictions of what is in store for Israel (and Jerusalem in particular) if they do not TURN BACK TO GOD.
