Joe: Alright, so we've got Ezekiel 15. What's going on here?
Bible Expert: Well, God is telling Ezekiel that Jerusalem is like a useless vine, good only for fuel. God then tells Ezekiel that because Jerusalem has become so corrupt, it will be destroyed and its people will be scattered among the nations.
Joe: Wow, that's pretty intense. So what else is happening?
Bible Expert: God promises to rescue and protect a remnant of the people of Israel, who will be like a stick that is not consumed by the fire.
Joe: What do you mean by a stick not consumed by the fire?
Bible Expert: It's symbolic. It's referring to the fact that God will protect the righteous among the people of Israel, even in the midst of destruction.
Joe: Okay, cool. Anything else?
Bible Expert: Yes, God also promises to restore the people of Israel to their land. He will bring them out of exile, and they will be able to rebuild their lives.
Joe: Amazing! So, what's the takeaway from this chapter?
Bible Expert: The takeaway is that God will always protect the righteous, even in the midst of destruction. He will restore those who are faithful to Him, and bring them back to their land.
