Each member of the Bible study received a gift symbolizing the rebirth of the heart and soul (Eze 36:26). A heart of stone is unyielding, cold, and unresponsive to God. A heart of flesh is humble, tender, faithful, and obedient. "I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart, and give you a tender, responsive heart."
Can these bones live? (Eze 37:1-14). The valley of dry bones represents the barren and hopeless condition of the nation of Israel at that time. God told Ezekiel to prophesy to the dry bones and they came to life, a vast army. Israel was not forgotten. They would live, return to their own land, and they would know that He is God.

The parable of the two sisters (Eze 23). Ohola (Samaria) rebelled, worshipped other gods, and came under God's judgment. Oholibah (Jerusalem) claimed to be people of God, but were even more idolatrous than Samaria. They rebelled against God and also came under God's judgment.
"Song of the Cauldron" or "The Boiling Pot" (Eze 24:3-12). Ezekiel describes the judgment as a "boiling pot". The poem or song of the cauldron is a picture of the judgment of God that is about to fall on Jerusalem. He was saying to the Prophet Ezekiel, tell the Israelites who are held captive in Jerusalem that "I am going to cook Jerusalem until they understand that I am God."
The Gog/Magog war is an alliance of enemies led against Israel by Gog, of the land of Magog. He rallies several nations of the middle east together, marching out of the north to Jerusalem with the intent of destroying the Holy City in the last days. God is in control of the rise and fall of nations. He will throw the invading host into chaos and confusion and they will begin to attack, destroy, and annihilate each other. God determines their ultimate destiny.
The King of Tyre was very prideful and willful in not listening to or following God. The prophecy of Tyre was fulfilled. Nebuchadnezzar took the city of Tyre and the people fled to a nearby island. Later, Alexander the Great threw the wreckage of the city into the sea and built a causeway out to the island. His soldiers walked over and took the island without a fight. The ancient city was never rebuilt.
