The Books in the Old Testament (Children’s #114)
Scripture
Discussion
- Ezekiel was a prophet in exile. Along with other Israelites, he had been captured and sent to Babylon several years before Jerusalem was finally destroyed.
- In Jerusalem, Ezekiel would have been a priest serving in the temple. In Babylon, he was among “them of the captivity,” and he “sat where they sat” (Ezekiel 3:15), hundreds of miles from the temple and with little hope of returning to the beloved house of God.
- Then one day Ezekiel had a vision. He saw “the glory of the Lord” (Ezekiel 1:28)—not back in the temple at Jerusalem but there in Babylon among the exiles. The wickedness in Jerusalem, he learned, had become so severe that God’s presence was no longer there.
- What did the Lord tell Ezekiel about his responsibilities?
- What words of comfort and encouragement did the Lord give?
- How can I share God’s words with others?

The Eighth Article of Faith (Children’s #127)

Discussion
- The gathering of Israel is portrayed in Ezekiel 37 through two symbols.
- The first symbol is dead bones being brought to to life. What do you think this means?

- The first stick of Judah is the Bible, and the stick of Joseph is the Book of Mormon (since Lehi was descended from Joseph).
- What do these verses teach you about the role of the scriptures in the gathering of Israel?
- What does 2 Nephi 3:11–13 (a prophecy about Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon) add to your understanding?
