74 The Lord Will Bring His Messiah

With all the condemnation of the wicked leaders in Israel and Judah The Lord now says that He will establish one Shepherd over the sheep (people). This establishment of the coming Good Shepherd would be through His servant David. King David recognized that one greater than him would be coming on the earth to establish a new Kingdom. He wrote of Jesus coming on the earth.

Psalm 110:1
1Jehovah saith unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thine enemies thy footstool (ASV, 1901).
Many characteristics of the Messianic Kingdom will be discussed in chapters 40-48 while Ezekiel receives the elaborate plans and description of the Millennial Temple which will be built in Jerusalem. The peace will extend to even the animal kingdom as they become docile and lose their competitiveness between species and peace will come upon them with human interaction. They will lose their carnivorous hunger and once again as in Eden subsist on vegetables.
