Ezekiel 37-39: Chapter 37 contains the most familiar of the prophet’s visions that of the dry bones representing the dead and divided nation. The Lord commands Ezekiel to prophesy to the wind and the dry bones become a living army signifying the resurrected nation. Following this vision is the reunification of the kingdoms symbolized by the union of two sticks. Chapters 38 and 39 describe a time period before, during and after an invasion of Israel by armies lead by Gog, ruler of Magog. It is thought to be after the rapture of the church but before the tribulation. God destroys the armies and reveals His holiness to the Gentile nations as well as to Israel. The Lord then cleanses the land, calls for a feast (birds and beasts) and demonstrates His compassion.
2 Peter 2:This chapter contains Peter’s denunciation of the false teachers in which he points out their conduct (heretical behavior), their condemnation by God and their characteristics such as arrogance, wickedness and depravity.
