In this sermon, the speaker shares a personal experience of delivering a message on Elijah in Jerusalem. Despite misinterpreting a note and speaking for longer than intended, the speaker believes that the anointing on the word was recognized. The sermon emphasizes the need for preparation for the coming of the Lord and the fulfillment of biblical prophecies. The speaker also highlights the messianic task of preaching the good news, healing the brokenhearted, and setting the captives free, as well as the importance of caring for the least of these.

Andrew Murray emphasizes that God's judgment is essential for His people to experience salvation and for the nations to recognize Him as Lord. The book of Ezekiel illustrates that God's judgments serve as a precursor to the blessings and sanctification that follow, culminating in the promise that the nations will know Him when His presence dwells among His people. The transformation of Israel through God's judgments leads to the establishment of His sanctuary, which ultimately reveals His holiness and power to the world.
