Twenty percent of Jewish Millennials now identify Jesus as the Son of God, a statistic cited in a daily devotional released for November 4, 2026. The figure appears in a commentary on Ezekiel 11:17, which discusses the restoration of the people of Israel.

The devotional, distributed by WVCY-TV, focuses on Ezekiel 10:1 through 11:25. The text notes that the phrase "they turned not when they went" appears for the fifth time in the book of Ezekiel. Readers are encouraged to examine the visual description of Beryl, a gemstone mentioned in Ezekiel 10, to better understand the imagery. The guide also references the "five and twenty men" seen earlier in Ezekiel 8:16.

Commentary on Ezekiel 11:3 draws from the Pulpit Commentary to explain a proverb about judgment. The text suggests that true prophets spoke of a judgment that was not yet near. It argues that some people in Jerusalem believed they were safe because they were not in exile. The commentary compares the city's walls to a caldron protecting meat from fire, implying that the walls would protect the people from the Chaldean army.

The devotional emphasizes God's omniscience in Ezekiel 11:5, stating that He knows every thought that comes into the mind. It contrasts this with the common habit of praying to God only when He is consciously remembered. The guide suggests that believers often lack a constant awareness of His presence.

Regarding Ezekiel 11:17, the author reflects on the promise of the land of Israel. The text notes that this promise seemed allegorical until 1948, when the nation of Israel was established again. It observes that the nation does not yet possess all the promised land. The commentary connects this to Romans 10:1, describing it as Paul's unfulfilled heart's desire for his people to be saved.

The reading guide also covers Hebrews 6:1-20. It identifies Hebrews 6:4-6 as a warning passage regarding partakers of the Holy Ghost. The text states that it is impossible for them to be saved again or to crucify the Son of God a second time. It balances this warning with an encouragement from Hebrews 6:10 for those who have supported God's work. The guide describes salvation as an anchor for the soul, noting that God swore by Himself in Hebrews 6:13.

Psalm 105:16-36 is included, with specific notes on Joseph's life in Genesis. The devotional points out that the Egyptians were grateful for Joseph but later enslaved his descendants. It quotes Bob Jones Sr., who said that when gratitude dies on the altar of a man's heart, that man is well nigh hopeless. Proverbs 27:1-2 is included as a lesson on humility, addressing the inability to predict the future and the inappropriateness of self-congratulation.

Readers are invited to share how reading through the Bible has been a blessing. The devotional provides an email address, 2018bible@vcyamerica.org, and a phone number, 414-885-5370, for those who wish to leave a message or contact the team.
