He Spread It Before Me - Ezekiel 2:10

Ezekiel 2:10 ESV 
And he spread it before me. And it had writing on the front and on the back, and there were written on it words of lamentation and mourning and woe.

We will see reference to this scroll again in Revelation.  The ascension of Jesus instituted the last days. He will be given authority over the earth because He has overcome sin and death. He alone is worthy to open the seals and rule. And so begins His reign. 

The scroll in Ezekiel relates to and is directed toward Israel.  After the letters to the church in chapters 2&3 inRevelation, the book is focused on the fulfillment of God's plan with Israel. 

The Gentiles were added to God's chosen through Israel's rebellion. Many more will be added through their obedience.
