Amen, so the Jeremiah reading, limitations reading. Now we are on
the book of the prophet Ezekiel. All right, definitely look forward to reading

powerful prophets. Man. It's so amazed at how God used his people to

out with a prayer, will close out with the priestly blessing, and that
will close out given all the glory to the most High God of Abraham,
Eask and Jacob, and praise has only begotten son who died for our sins.
Amen, Yes, yes, y'all. So let us get into the
Book of Ezekiel. Chapter one. Now, it came to pass in the
thirtieth year, in the fourth month and the fifth day of the month,
as I was among the captives by the river of Shabar, that the heavens
were open, and I saw visions of God in the fifth day of the
month, which was the fifth year of King Jehoyahin's captivity, the word the
Lord came rustling unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi Bazai, in
the land of the Shaldens by the river Shebar, and the hand of the
Lord was there upon him. And I looked, and behold, a whirlwind
came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire and folded
itself, and a brightness was about it. And out of the midst thereof
as the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire. Also
out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this
was their appearance. They had the likeness of a man. And everyone had
four faces, and everyone had four wings, and their feet were straight feet,
and the soul of their feet was like the soul of a calf's foot.
And they sparkled like the color of burnished brass. And they had the
hands of a man under their wings on their four sides. And they four
had their faces and their wings. Their wings were joined one to another.
They turned not when they went, They went everyone straightforward. As for the
likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man and the
face of a lion. On the right side, they had four had the
face of an ox. On the left side they four also had the face
of an eagle. Thus were their faces, and their wings were stretched upward.
Two wings of everyone were joined one to another, and two covered their
bones. And they went everyone straightforward whither the spirit was to go, they
went, and they turned not when they went. As for the likeness of
the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like
the appearance of lamps. It went up and down among the living creatures,
and the fire was bright. And if the fire went forth lightning, and
the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
Now, as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth
by the living creatures, with its four faces. The appearance of the wheels
in their work was like until the color of a barrel. And they had
one likeness, and their appearance, and the work was as it were a
wheel in the middle of a wheel. When they went, they went upon
their four sides, and they turned not when they went. As for their
rings, they were so high that they were dreadful, and their rings were
full of eyes round about them. For and when the living creatures went,
the wheels went by them. And when the living creatures were lifted up from
the earth, the wheels were lifted up. With or soever the spirit was
to go, they went, there was their spirit to go, and the
wheels were lifted up over against them, For the spirit of the living creature
was in the wheels. When those went, these went, and when those
stood, these stood. And when those were lifted up from the earth,
the wheels were lifted up over against them, For the spirit of the living
creature was in the wheels. And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads
of the living creature was as the color of the terrible crystal stretched forth over
their heads, above and under the firmament, where the wings straight, the
one toward the other. Everyone had a two which covered on this side,
and everyone had two which covered on that side their bodies. And when they
went, I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters,
as the voice of the almighty, the voice of speech, as the
noise of an host. When they stood, they let down their wings,
and there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads when they
stood and had let down their wings, and above the firmament that was over
their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a superior
stone. And upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance
of man above it, of a man above upon it. And I saw
it's the color of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it,
from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of
his loins even downward, I saw, as it were, the appearance of
fire. And it had brightness round about, as the appearance of the bow,
of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain.
So was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of
the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it,
I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake
all right. So that's the Book of Ezekiel, Chapter one reading. So
Ezekiel is having a vision, and he's seeing powerful things in the spirit realm.
He's seeing the firmament, he's seeing living creatures, he's seeing the glory
of the Lord. He's seeing so much all at once, so he's feeling
overwhelmed by it, and it overwhelmed it so much that he fell upon his
face. So when you see, when God shows you those visions and those
dreams, you know, it goes beyond the human imagination, you know,
I mean, spiritual always goes past the physical. So Ezekiel is dealing with
these supernatural experiences and encounters. All right, So that's the Book of Ezekiel
chapter one. Reading. Now let us go into the Book of Ezekiel chapter
two. All write Ezekiel chapter two. Here we go, and he's said,
unto me, son of Man, stand upon thy feet. And I
was speaking to THEE, and the spirit entered into me when he spake,
until me set me upon my feet. Then I heard him. I heard
him that spake unto me, and he said, unto me, son of
Man, I send THEE to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation
that hath rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me even
unto this day. For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do see.
I do send THEE unto them, And thou shalt said to them,
thus saith the Lord God. And they whether and they whether they will hear,
or whether they will forbear, for they are rebellious house. Yes,
shall know that there hath been a prophet among them. And thou, son
of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words.
Though brears, briars and thorns be with thee. And thou dost do
well among scorpions. Be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at
their looks, though they be a rebellious house. And thou shalt speak my
words unto them, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear, for
they are most rebellious. But thou, son of man, hear what I
saying to thee, be not that rebellious, like that rebellious house, Open
thy mouth and eat that I give thee. And when I looked, behold
in hand was sent unto me, And lo, a roll of a book
was therein a scroll, and he spread it before me, and it was
written within and without, and there was written there end limitations and mourning and
woe. Wow. Interesting, that's the Book of Ezekiel chapter two. So
Ezekiel is speaking as he's speaking, as the Lord is speaking to him.
The Lord opened his hand towards him, and he gives him a scroll.
So Ezekiel just takes the book and it was written limitations, mourning and woe
within it. So now that was the Book of Ezekiel chapter two reading.
And also when you read Ezekiel chapter two, the Lord is telling Ezekiel how
rebellious Israel is, how rebellious they are, how stif hearted they are.
He didn't only say stiff that, he says stiff hearted, so their heart
wasn't right. But he's telling them, whether they hear or not, still
say what you have to say. So when God sends us out to do
his will then to spread his word, most cases only a few will actually
listen. But most cases most people don't. That's just how it goes,
you know. So the prophets dealt with that in their time. We're definitely
gonna do it in this time that we're in. We're spreading the Word and
the Bible all four corners of earth the best way we can. And look
how people are still living, you know what I mean. So Ezekiel's dealing
with that and all other prophets basically as well, and the disciples too.
All right, so we're gonna continue this Ezekiel reading it right. That was
Ezekiel chapter two. Now let's go to the Book of Ezekiel chapter three.
All right, the Book of Ezekiel chapter three. Here we go moreover,
he said, unto me, son of Man, eat that thou'll findest,
eat this role, and go speak it to the House of Israel. So
I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the scroll, and
he said it to me, son of Man, caused thy ablity to eat
and fill thy bowels with this role that I give THEE. Then did I
eat it, and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness. And
he said to me, son of Man, go get THEE into the house
of Israel, and speak with my words into them. For thou art not
sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but
to the House of Israel. Not too many people of a strange speech and
of an hard language, whose words thou canst understand it. Surely, had
I sent THEE to them, they would have hearkened unto THEE. But the
House of Israel will not hearken unto THEE, for they will not hearken unto
me. For all the House of Israel are impudent and hardhead and hardhearted.
Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy foreheads
strong against their foreheads, as a as an adamant, harder than flint have
I made thy forehead. Fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks,
though they be a rebellious house. Moreover, he said, unto me,
son of Man, all my words, that I shall speak unto thee.
Receive in thy heart and hear with thine ears, And go get thee
to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak
unto them, and tell them, thus said the Lord God, whether they
will hear, or whether they will forbear. Then the spirit took me up,
and I heard behind me a voice of a great Russian, saying,
blessed be the glory of the Lord. From his place. I heard also
the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and
the noise of the wheels over against them, and the noise of a great
Russian. So the spirit lifted me up and took me away. And I
went in bitterness in the heat of my spirit. But the hand of the
Lord was strong upon me. And I came to them of the captivity at
Telibib, that dwelt by the river of Var the river of Shabar. And
I sat where they sat, and remained there, astonished among them seven days.
And it came to pass at the end of seven days the wherever the
Lord came unto me, saying, son of Man, I have made thee
a watchman unto the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word at my mouth,
and give them warning from me. When I say into the wicked,
thou shalt surely die, And thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to
warn the wicked from his wicked way to save his life, excuse me the
same wicked man shall die in his iniquity, But his blood will I require
at thine hand. Yet, if thou warned the wicked, and he turned
not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked day, wicked way, wicked
way, he shall die in his iniquity. But thou hast delivered thy soul.
And when a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness and commit iniquity,
and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die because thou hast
not given him warning. He shall die in his sin. At his righteousness,
which he hath done, shall not be remembered. But his blood will
I require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warned the righteous man that
the righteous sin not, doth not sin, he shall surely live because he
is warned. Also thou hast delivered thy soul, and to have the Lord
was there upon me, and he said it to me, o, rits,
go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee.
Then I arose and went forth into the plain, and behold, the go
of the Lord stood there as the glory which I saw by the river of
Shabbar. And I fell on my face. Then the Spirit entered into me,
has set me upon my feet, and spake with me, and said
it to me. Go shut thyself within thy house. But thou, o,
son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and
shalt buy thee with them, And thou shalt not go out among them.
And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, and
thou shalt be dumb, as shall not be to them a reprover, for
they are a rebellious house. But when I speak with thee I will open
thy mouth, and thou shalt say it too them. Thus set the Lord
God. He hath he that heareth, let him hear. And he that
forbear earth, let him forbear. They are rebellious house. So that's the
Book of Ezekiel, chapter three reading. So this is a very interesting read
because the Lord is getting closer to Ezekiel, and the Lord's hand is upon
Ezekiel now so now he speaking to him and pressing him even harder. And
Ezekiel eats the scroll, he eats the word, and the Lord is breaking
down to him what should be said to Israel, and to make him a
watchman as well, all right. And also the Lord is pressing Ezekiel,
telling people about how blood is upon his hands. If you do not reach
out to someone to turn from their ways, that person's blood is on your
hands. But if you do reach out, however they want to go about
it, it's on them and you preserved your soul, you know. So
it's very important how we reach out to people and we tell them about God
or warn them or what have you, you know what I mean. And
he made Ezekiel a watchman, all right. In these last days, we're
the last watchman and man in this last generation, this wicked perverse generation.
We're the last watchman of it, all right. So we have to constantly
telp people to come to God and to turn from their ways and what have
you. And also you can see as the Lord is speaking to Ezekiel about
whoever hears, let him hears, whoever doesn't doesn't. It's similar to what
Jesus was saying when Jesus spreading the Word, spreading the Gospel. Jesus kept
saying, let him who has an ear, let him here. So it
kind of goes back to Ezekiel as well. Amen. So yeah, man,
you know, we gotta spread the word, y'all. All right,
Let the Lord move us. Let the Lord's hand be upon us, Let
the Spirit move us. Hey man, Let us not be self willed no
more. Let everything be led by the Lord. Let us hand guide us,
Let the Spirit move us. All right, yes, yes, y'all.
So that's the Book of Ezekiel chapter three reading. Let us go into
the Book of Ezekiel chapter four. All right, the Book of Ezekiel,
chapter four, Here we go, thou, also, son of man,
take thee a tile and lay it before thee and portray upon it the city
even Jerusalem, and lay siege against it, and build a ford against it,
and cast amount against it. Set the camp also against it, as
set battering rams against it round about. Moreover, take thou unto THEE in
iron pan and set it for a wall of iron between THEE and the city.
Has set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and
thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be assigned to the House of
Israel. Let lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity
of the House of Israel upon it, according to the number of the days
that thou shalt lie upon it. Thou shalt bear their iniquity. For I
have laid upon THEE the years of their iniquity, accorded to the number of
the days, three hundred and ninety days. So shalt thou bear the iniquity
of the House of Israel, that when thou hast accomplished them, lie again
on that right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the House of
Judah forty days. I have appointed THEE each day for a year. Therefore
thou shalt set thy face towards the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arms shalt
be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it. And behold, I will
lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn, shalt not turn thee
from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.
Take thou also until until thee wheat and barley, and beans, and
lentiles, and millet, malay and fitches, and put them in one rest
vessel, and make thee bread thereof. According to the number of the days
that thou shalt lie upon thy side three hundred and ninety days, shalt thou
eat thereof. And thy meat, which thou shalt eat shalt be shalt be
by weight twenty shekels a day. From time to time shalt thou eat it.
Thou shalt drink also water by measure the sixth part of an hen.
From time to time shalt thou drink, and thou shalt eat it as barley
as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with thungue that out of man
in their sight. And the Lord said, even thus shall the children of
Israel eat their bread, eat their defiled bread among the gentiles with I will
drive them. Then said I, oh Lord God, behold, my soul
hath not been polluted. For from my mouth, from from my youth up
even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself or is
torn in pieces. Neither came their abominable flesh into my mouth. Then he
said it to me, Low, I have given thee cow's dung for man's
dungue, and thou shall prepare thy bread therewith. Moreover, he said,
unto me, son of man, behold, I will break the staff of
bread in Jerusalem, and they shall eat bread by weight and with care,
and they shall drink water by measure and with astonishment, that they may want
bread and water and be astonied, astonied one with another, and consume a
way for their iniquity. So this is the Lord speaking more to Ezekiel.
That was a Book of Ezekiel, chapter four. And mind you remember from
chapter one the Lord speaking to Ezekiel expressively. So the way God is gonna
tell Ezekiel things and show them stuff, it's not going to be normal,
it's not going to be common. Everything's gonna be expressive, stretched out over
the top, just very like, you know, overwhelming. So Ezekiel has
to take all that and explain it to Israel, and also take it what
God's trying to tell Ezekiel to the people of Israel, you know. So
that was the Book of Ezekiel chapter four. Reading. Let us go to
the Book of Ezekiel chapter five. All right, the Book of Ezekiel chapter
five. Here we go, Ezekiel five, And thou, son of man,
take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber's razor, and cause
it to pass upon thy head and upon thy beard. Then take the balance
to take thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair. Thou shalt burn
with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days
of the siege are fulfilled, And thou shalt take a third part and smite
about it with a knife, and a third part thou shalt scatter in the
wind, and I will draw out a sword after them. Thou shalt also
take there of a few in number and bind them in thy skirts. Then
take of them again and cast them into the midst of the fire, and
burn them in the fire. For thereof shall a fire come forth unto all
the house of Israel. Thus set the Lord God. This is Jerusalem.
I have set it. I have set it in the midst of the nations
and countries that are round about her. And she hath changed my judgments into
wickedness more than the nations, and my statues more than the countries that are
a round about her, For they have refused my judgments and my statues,
they have not walked in them. Therefore, thus set the Lord God.
Because ye multiplied more than the nations that are a round about you, and
have not walked in my statues, neither have kept my judgments, neither have
done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you. Therefore,
thus set the Lord God. Behold, I even I am against THEE,
and will execute judgments in the midst of THEE, in the sight of
the nations. And I will do in THEE that which I have not done,
and whereunto I will not do anymore the like because of all thine abominations.
Therefore, the Father shall eat the sons in the midst of THEE,
and the son shall eat their fathers. And I will execute judgments in THEE,
and the whole remnant of THEE. Will I scatter unto all the winds.
Wherefore, as I live, set the Lord God. Surely, because
thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things and with all thine abominations.
Therefore I will also diminish THEE. Neither shall my eye spare, neither
will I have any pity. A third part of THEE shall die with the
pestilence and with famine. Shall they be consumed in the midst of THEE.
And a third part shall fall by the sword round about THEE. And I
will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out
a sword after them. Thus shall my anger be accomplished, and I will
cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted, and
they shall know that either Lord have spoken it in my zeal. When I
have accomplished my fury endom. Moreover, I will make THEE waste and a
reproach among the nations that are round about THEE in the sight of all that
passed by. So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction
and astonishment to the nations that are around about THEE. When I shall execute
judgments in thee, in anger and in fury, and in furious rebukes.
Either Lord have spoken it. When I shall send upon them the evil arrows
of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send
to destroy you. And I will increase the famine upon you and will break
your staff of bread. So will I send upon you famine and an evil
beast, and they shall bereave thee, and pestilence, and bloods shall pass
through thee, and I will bring the sword upon thee. Either Lord have
spoken it. So this is the Book of Ezekiel, chapter five reading,
and the Lord is speaking more expressly, of course, to Ezekiel, and
he's given Exekiel exstructions on how he's going to do destroy Israel. High is
going to destroy, High is gonna consume Jerusalem and burn them in the fire,
and all these different things. So this is what happens when you disobey
and not follow the Lord. Now his anger as wrath has to be poured
out, all right. And these prophets like Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel and
so forth. Though they did talk about the restoration of Israel as people,
they also started to do the hard task of telling Israel howard bellies they've been
and the Lord's anger towards them. It's not an easy thing to do,
to go up to your own people and not sugarcoat nothing. You get what
I'm saying. The prophets didn't sugarcoat nothing. They didn't twist the word of
the Lord and nothing. They said it as it was. You know,
they were pure messengers. You know, people today are a bit too sugarcoating
things and a little too g rated. You know, this is why the
fear of the Lord is not on people to anymore, because people keep spitting
out motivational speeches and feel good messages, but it's not really the word of
the Lord, you know what I mean. The word of the Lord is
a double edged sword, and the way of the Lord is going to make
you want to do better and fear him and want to turn from your ways.
So that was the Book of Ezekiel, chapter five, reading right,
so very powerful. All right, Now let's go into the Book of Ezekiel
chapter six. All right, the Book of Ezekiel, chapter six, Here
we go, and the way of the Lord came into me, saying,
son of Man, set thy face towards the mountains of Israel. And prophesize
against them, as say, ye, mountains of Israel, hear the word
of the Lord God. Thus set the Lord God to be to the mountains
and to the hills, to the rivers and to the valleys. Behold,
I even I will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your
high places, and your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be
broken. And I will cast down your slain men before idols, before your
idols. And I will lay the dead carcasses of the children of Israel before
their idols. And I will scatter your bones around about your altars. Excuse
me, and all your dwelling places the city shall be laid waste, and
the high places shall be desolate. That your altars may be laid waste and
may desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your images
may be cut down, and your works may be abolished. And the slain
shall fall in the midst of you. And ye shall know that I am
the Lord. Yet well, I leave a remnant that ye may have some
that shall escape the sword among the nations. When ye shall be scattered through
the countries and they escape of ye shall remember me. Among the nations whether
they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their horsh heart,
which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a horn
after their idols. And they shall loathe themselves for the evils which they have
committed in all their abominations. And they shall know that they shall know that
I am the Lord, and that I have not said in vain that I
would do this evil to them. Thus set the Lord God, smite with
the hand with thy hand, and stamp with thy foot, stop with thy
foot, and say I last, for all the evil nations of the House
of Israel. For they shall fall by the sword, by the famine,
and by the pestilens. He that is far off shall die of the pestilents,
and he that is near shall fall by the sword. And he that
remaineth and is besieged, shall die by the famine. Thus will I accomplish
my fury upon them. Then shall ye know that I am the Lord.
When their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon
every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every
green tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they did offer
sweet savor savour to all their idols. So will I stretch out my hand
upon them and make the land desolate, yeah, more desolate than the wilderness
toward Diblath and all their habitations. And they shall know that I am the
Lord. That's the Book of Ezekiel, chapter six. Reading. Let us
go into the Book of Ezekiel chapter seven. All right, the Book of
Ezekiel chapter seven. Here we go moreover. The word of the Lord came
to me, saying, and also thou son of Man, Thus set the
Lord God unto the land of Israel. And end the end is come upon
the four corners of the land. Now is the end come upon THEE.
And I will send my anger upon THEE, and will judge THEE according to
thy ways, and will recompense upon THEE all thy abominations. And my eyes
shall not spare THEE. Neither will I have pity. But I will recompense
thy ways upon THEE, and thy abomination shall be in the midst of THEE.
And ye shall know that I am the Lord. Thus set the Lord
God an evil, and only evil Behold is come, an end is come.
The end is come. It watcheth for thee behold, it has come.
The morning is coming to thee, Oh thou thy dwellesce in the land.
The time has come, The day of trouble is near, and not
the sounding again of the mountains. Now will I shortly pour out my feury
of pond and accomplish my anger PONDI, and I will judge THEE according to
thy ways, and will recompense THEE for all thy abominations. And my eye
shall not spare, neither will I have pity. I will recompense THEE according
to thy ways and thy abominations that are in the midst of THEE. And
ye shall know that I am the Lord that smiteth. Behold the day.
Behold, it has come, The morning has gone forth. The rod hath
blossomed pride, hath budded violence, has risen up to a rod of wickedness.
None of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor if any
of theirs, neither shall there be walling wailing for them. The time has
come, the day draft near. Let not the buyer rejoice nor the seller
mourn, for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof. For the sellers shall
not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive, for
the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof which shall not return. Neither shall
any strengthen himself in the niquity of his life. They have blown the trumpet
even to make already, but none goeth to the battle. For My wrath
is upon all the multitude thereof. The sword is without, and the pestilence
and the family within. He that is in the field shall die with the
sword, and he that is in the city famine pestling shall devour him.
But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains
like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning everyone for his iniquity.
All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.
They shall also gird themselves with sidecloth, and horror shall cover them, and
shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads. They
shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed.
Their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day
of the wrath of the Lord. They shall not satisfy their souls, neither
fill their bowels, because it is the stumbling block of their iniquity. As
for the beauty of his ornament, excuse me, he said it in majesty.
But they made the images of their abominations and of their detestable things.
They're in. Therefore, have I set it far from them, and I
will give it until the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to
the wicked of the earth for a spoil, and they shall pollute it.
My face. Will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my
secret place, for the robbers shall enter into it and defile it. Make
a change, for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city
is full of violence. Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen,
and they shall possess their houses. I will also make the pomp of the
strong to cease, and their holy places shall be defiled. Destruction cometh,
and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none. Mischief shall come
upon mischief, and rumors shall be upon rumor. They shall seek a vision
of the prophet. But the law shall perish from the priest and counsel,
from the ancients. The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed
with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled,
I will do unto them after their way in according to their deserts.
Will I judge them, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
So the Lord's not playing when it comes to us wrath and his vengeance,
all right, So we got to fear him and serve him and live better
for him, all right? Yes, yes, so the lords. No,
he's of course he's thes gonna hold israelcountabould be angry towards them, but
he's ain't with all the multitude, all ful coins of the earth. And
that was in that time, apparently speaking to Ezekiel about us. So imagine
how the Lord feels right now seeing all the wickedness and evil going on today.
All right, so we really got to tighten up and do better.
Okay. That was the Book of Ezekiel, chapter seven. Reading. Let
us go into the Book of Ezekiel chapter eight. I write the Book of
Ezekiel chapter eight. Here we go. And it came to passing the sixth
year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month,
as I sat in my house and the elders of Judah sat before me,
that the hand of the Lord God fell there upon me. Then behold,
then, I beheld and low like a likeness as their parents have fired from
the apparents of his lords, even downward fire, and from his loins,
even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the color of amber.
And he put forth the form of an hand and took me by a lock
of my head. And the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the
heaven, and brought me into visions of God, to Jerusalem, to the
door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north, where it was the
seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy. And behold,
the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that
I sought in the plain. Then said he, unto me, son of
Man, lift up thy eyes now the way toward the north. So I
lifted up my eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the
gate of the altar, this image of jealousy in the entry. He said,
Furthermore, unto me, son of Man, seest thou what they do
even the great abominations at the House of Israel. Committeth here that I should
go far off from my sanctuary, but turn thee. Yet, turn thee
yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations. And he brought me to
the door of the court. And when I looked, behold a hole in
the wall. Then said he into me, son of Man, dig now
in the wall. And when I had digged in the wall, behold a
door. And he said to me, go in and behold the wicked abominations
that they do here. So I went in and saw, and behold every
form of creeping things, an abominable beast, and all the idols of the
House of Israel portrayed upon the wall round about. And there stood before them
seventy men of the ancients of the House of Israel. And in the midst
of them stood Jazaniah Jeseniah, the son of Chiffon, with every man his
censor in his hand, and a thick cloud of incense went up. Then
he said, unto me, son of Man, hast thou seen that the
ancients of the House of Israel doing a dark every man in the chambers of
his imagery. For they say, the Lord seeth us, not the Lord
hath forsaken the earth. He said, all so unto me, turn thee
yet again, and thou shalt see great the abominations that they do. Then
he brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord's house, which
was toward the north, and behold there sat woman weeping for Tamouse. Tamooses
brought up in the boguskils interest him, and there are sat a woman weeping
for Tamouse. Then said he unto me, hast thou seen this, O,
son of Man? Turned thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater
abominations than these. And he brought me into the inner core of the Lord's
house, and behold at the door of the temple of the Lord, between
the porch and the altar, where about five and twenty men, with their
backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east,
and they worshiped the son toward the west, toward the east son worshiped.
Then he said to me, hast thou seen this, O, son of
Man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah? That they
commit the abominations which they commit here? For they have filled the land with
violence and have returned to provoke me to anger and low they put their branch
to their nose Therefore, will I also deal in fury? My eyes shall
not spare, neither will I have pity? And though they cry in my
ears with a lot of voice, yet will I not hear them? Boil?
Boy, that's the Book of Ezekiel, chapter eight reading. That's heavy,
right there, Man, the Book of Ezekiel chapter eight. Man,
that's a heavy one right there. I'm just like, wow. So the
Lord took Ezekiel by his locks, So he actually took up Ezekiel by his
hair and showed him all these things. That's that's wow. So Ezekiel saw
the Lord's glory and he kept describing it as a color of amber. And
amber is like has like brown red orange like mixed in it, like really
bright yellow as well, all mixed in one. It's a very beautiful,
glorious color. Right. So Ezekiel sees the Lord's gloria, and the Lord
picks up Ezekiel. He forms a hand that picks him Ezekiel by his hair.
So that probably must have been hurting Ezekiel. It must have been probably
frustrated for him to, you know, get taken up by the hair,
right, because I think of someone like pulling your hair, right, how
much that could possibly hurt, but maybe the Lord's hand was gentle towards it.
Who knows, right, But all in all, the Lord picked up
Ezekiel by his locks. And many Israelite men had locks, Ezekiel, Samuel
Sampson and so forth. So that's how he brus rocks their locks, their
hair, you know. And he puts him between heaven and earth. So
he has Ezekiel like way in and we're very high, right, and he's
showing Ezekiel all the secret sins that Israel was doing. And he's showing Ezekiel
different dimensions, different doors, different directions. He say, look to the
east, look this direction, opened his door, dick the shovel. So
he's shown Ezekiel like all these portals, all these secret things, and he's
showing them all the sins of Israel. And the Lord is telling Ezekiel like,
yo, man, you expect me to not pull my wrath out on
them. I have to, you know what I mean. And the Lord
even say that they will cry with a loud voice and he would not hear
them because that sin just reached the heavens. They even talked about like in
the Book of Genesis, and an old Testament, how certain sins reached the
heavens, like Solomon Gamore, how the sins of salom Agamour, the wickedness
of Salomagamore has reached the heavens. So once a sin hits the heavens,
the Lord's wrath has to be poured out. Recompension has to happen. You
see what I'm saying. So he's shown. God has shown Ezekiel how Israel
was in the temple worshiping the sun. So there was into sun worship,
there was into jealousy. God showed Ezekiel the image of jealousy and the seat.
And then he showed a woman crying for Tamos. Now Tamoose was the
god of fertility, and that's what Israel was worshiping. They was worshiping all
types of gods and goddesses, but they was really heavy to the worship of
Tamouse, that Tamoose was a god of fertility, and Mesopotomian god as well,
about Bologna God. And and he said, God showed Ezekiel a woman
crying for him, you know, and two moves. I believe it's related
to Samaramus and Nimrod. I mean it's a heavy, crazy thing with that,
like when you're worshiping all those different guys. They all got like families
and connections and stuff. So it's kind of crazy, but that's what Ezer
was into. There was sun worshiping. They was violent, they were jealous.
They was worshiping of the God. I mean, they were worshiping a
son in the temple. They were very disrespectful, you know what I mean.
That adult she was just way too much. So the Lord had to
recompense them, you know what I mean. So it's a heavy chapter right
there. It's the Book of Ezekiel, chapter eight reading. All right,
let us go to the Book of Ezekiel chapter nine. All right, the
Book of Ezekiel, chapter nine. Here we go. He cried also in
my ears, with a loud voice, saying, caused them that have charged
over the city to draw there, even every man with his joined weapon in
his hand. And behold, six men came from the way of the higher
gate, which lies toward the north, and every man of slaughter weapon in
his hand. And one man among them was clothed with linen, with a
rider's inkcorn by his side. And they went in and stood beside the brows
and altar, and the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from
the cherub. Whereupon he was to the threshold of the house. And he
called to the man cloth with linen, clothed with linen, which had the
rider's incorn by his side, and the Lord sent it to him, go
through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, that set
a mark upon the foreheads of the men that side, and that cry for
all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. And to the others,
he said, into mind, hearting and my hearing, go ye after
him through the city, and smite, letting your ears spare. Neither have
ye pity. Slay utterly old and young, both maids and little children and
women. Become not near any man upon him who is the mark, and
begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before
the house, and he said to them to file the house and fill the
course with the slain. Go ye forth. And they went forth and slew
in the city. And it came to pass while they were slaying, then
slaying them, and I was left that I fell upon my face and cried
and said Lord, O, Lord God, will thou destroy all the residue
of Israel and thy pouring out of thy fery upon Jerusalem? There said he,
and to me, the iniquity of the house of Israel Judah is exceeding
great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of
perverse perversing this. For they said, the Lord hath forsaken the earth,
and the Lord seeth not. And as for me also, my eyes shall
not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way
upon their head. And behold, the man clothed with linen, clothed with
linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying,
I have done as thou hast commanded me. So that's the Book of
Ezekiel, chapter nine reading. So you know, God has shown Ezekiel all
this, all of Israel against slain, you know, slaughtered, you know,
and Ezekiel's crying out like, hey, y'all gonna you can't get rid
of all of them, And the Lord's like, hey, the sin is
exceedingly great. The abominations are the testable, things are high. So you
know, things got to be done right because you gotta weed out the evil.
You gotta week out, you gotta weed out the weakness. So the
only way that weeded out was by killing it, you know what I mean.
So this is the this is the side of the Lord that people don't
like to talk about that preach about. You know. Um, yes,
you do preach about how merciful he is and how gracious he is, how
awesome he is, but you also have to preach about his wrath, his
anger and the things that God hates him detests and then the things that are
detestable to God. You know. So that way, um, you could
put the fear of the Lord and somebody you get what I'm saying. So,
you know, it's important to us to think when most people, when
most people preach, they only just preach like one side of God. The
Lord has so much waste to him, He has so much sides about him.
I mean, I mean, he's omniposent um the present everything, you
know. But he does get angry, you know, he does get tired
of things. He does pour out his rathawa have you. You know what
I mean. That's all we got to really make sure we do better and
not backslide and really fear him and do better and obey him. You know
what I'm saying. Be moved by his word and his spirit, and constantly
submit ourselves to him, constantly humble ourselves towards him, and let him take
us to higher levels. Let him move us to where we need to be
moved, and get Stop being complacent, stop being stagnant, and get going.
Amen. So that was the Book of Ezekiel, chapter nine reading.
Let us go into the Book of Ezekiel chapter ten. All right, the
Book of Ezekiel, chapter ten. Here we go. Then I looked and
behold in the firmament that was above the head of the chair, bumps that
appeared over them, as it were a superior stone, as the appearance of
the likeness of a throne. And he spake unto them, and to the
man clothed with linen, clothed with lenen, said going between the wheels,
even under the cherub and filled that hand with coals of fire from between the
cherubums, and scattered them over the city. And he went in. In
my sight, now the cherubums stood on the right side of the house when
the men went in. When the man went in, and the cloud filled
it in the court, and the glory of the Lord went up from the
cherub and stood over the threshold, the threshold of the house, and the
house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness
of the Lord's glory, and the sound of the cherubum's wings was heard even
to the outer court, as the voice of the almighty God when he speaketh.
And it came to pass that when he had commanded the man clothed with
linen, clothed lenen sand, take fire from between the wheels from between the
cherubums. Then he went in and stood beside the wheels, and one cherub
stretched forth his hand from between the cherub bombs until the fire that was between
the cheruboms, and took thereof and put it into the hands of him that
was clothed with linen, clothed with linen, who took it and went out.
And there appeared in the cherubums the form of a man's hand under their
wings. And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubums,
one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub. And the
appearance of the wheels was at the color was as the color of a barrel
stone. And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as
if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel. When they went,
they went upon their four sides. They turned not as they went,
but to the place. Whether the head looked, they followed it. They
turned not as they went, and their whole body, and their backs,
and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, and were full
of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had. As for
the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, old will.
And everyone had four faces. The first face was the face of a cherub,
and the second face was the face of a man, and the third
the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
And the cherubumbs were lifted. This is the living creature that I saw by
the river of Sabar. And when the cherubombs went, the wheels went by
them. And when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the
earth, the same wheels also turned, not from beside them. When they
stood, these stood, and when they were lifted up, these lifted up
themselves also, for the spirit of the living creature was in them. Then
the glory of the Lord departed from off the thrush and hold of the house
and stood over the cherubombs. And the cherubims lifted up their wings and mounted
up from the earth. In my sight when they went out, the wheels
also were beside them. And everyone stood at the door of the east gate
of the Lord's house, and the glory of the God of Israel was over
them. Of excuse me, this is the living creature that I saw under
the God of Israel by the river of Shebar, and I knew that they
were their cherubooms. Everyone had four faces of peace, and everyone four wings,
and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings,
and the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the
river of Shebar. Their appearances and themselves they went over, They went everyone
straightforward. That's the Book of Ezekiel, chapter ten reading. So they're like
Ezekiel is seeing more of the firmament. He's looking up and seeing the cherub
booms. He's seeing all that. He seeing the Lord's glory. And you
know, David in the Book of Psalms always describe how the lords between cherubooms,
you know, and prophets. They always talked about how the Lord sits
between the cherubums. So when you understand the heavenly realms and you understand how
the Lord placed his glory his creation, he sits between the cherub bums,
and the son's at the right hand of him. And although the angels like
the Holy Archangels, Seraphim, thrones, dominions, there's so many types of
there's nine types of angels. And Ezekiel is able to see all these cherbubs
and stuff, so some powerful stuff right there, that's real, heavenly visions
and dreams right there, you know. So it's very important that we always
tap into the supernatural and those heavenly realms, you know what I mean,
because that's where our power comes from. The Lord, you know, the
Father, he's the Father of lights. So all good things come from above,
it comes from him, and it goes through those heavenly realms, those
those layers of Heaven, the Third Heaven, all those different things, the
Firmament, and it comes down to us within us, you know. So
blessings are heaven sent, the things God's sins are alway from up there,
so very powerful stuff that Ezekiel is seeing, you know, very powerful.
All right, all right, because you don't really see too many people talk
about cherbums like that, you know. But yeah, that's the Book of
Ezekiel chapter ten, reading. All right. Now we will go into the
Book of Ezekiel chapter eleven. All right. But when we're reading Ezekiel ten
and noise of the chapters. This is also kind of similar to the Book
of Revelations when John was seeing different Seraphim's angels, beasts, things like that.
So profits are always having like heavenly similar dreams, things like that.
When God shows you those visions and dreams, they're always heavenly, whether he
showed it to Isaiah, Daniel, Ezekiel, John, Jeremiah. When God
show you something in the vision and the supernatural man, it goes away beyond
physical limitation or remember that, o'kay. So let's go to the Book of
Ezekiel chapter eleven. All right, Ezekiel, chapter eleven. Here we go.
Moreover, the spirit lifted me up and brought me unto the east gate
of the Lord's house, which look at eastward eastward. And behold at the
door of the gate, five and twenty men among whom I saw jez Andiah
the son of Azur, and Pelatiah, the son of ben Andiah Benaya,
princess of the people, then said he unto me, son of Man,
these are the men that devise mischief and give wicked counsel in this city,
which say it is not near. Let us build houses. This city is
the caldron, and we be the flesh. Therefore prophesy against them. Prophesied
O, son of Man, And the spirit of the Lord fell upon me
and said, unto me, speak, Thus saith the Lord, thus have
ye said, old house of Israel, For I know the things that come
into your mind, every one of them. Ye have multiplied your slain in
the city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain. Therefore,
thus saith the Lord God, your slain, whom ye have laid in
the midst of it. They are the flesh, And this city is the
caldron. But I will bring you forth out of the midst of it.
Ye have feared the sword, and I will bring a sword upon you,
saith the Lord God. And I will bring you out of the midst thereof,
and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among
you. Ye I'll fall by the sword. I will judge you in the
border of Israel, and ye shall know that I am the Lord. This
city shall not be your cowdrown, neither shall ye be the flesh in the
midst thereof. But I will judge you in the border of Israel, and
ye shall know that I am the Lord. For ye have not walked in
my statues, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of
the heathen that are round about you. And it came to pass when I
prophesied that Peletaiah, the son of Benaiah, died. Then fell eye down
upon my face and cried with a loud voice, and said, Oh,
Lord God, well I Tho'll make a full end of the remnant of Israel.
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of
Man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred,
and all the house of Israel, Holy wally are they into whom the inhabitants
of Jerusalem have said, get you far, Get you far from the Lord
unto us in this land given in possession. Therefore thus set the Lord God,
although I have cast them afar off, cast them far off, from
among the heathen. And although I have scattered them among the countries, yet
will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall
come. Therefore, say thus, set the Lord God. I will even
gather you from the people and assemble you out of the countries where ye have
been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel. And they
shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof,
and all the abominations thereof, from thence. And I will give them one
heart, and I will put a new spirit within you, and I will
make and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give
them an heart of flesh, that they may walk in my statues and keep
my ordinances and do them. And they shall be my people, and I
will be their God. But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart
of their detestable things, and they're bominations, I would recompense their way upon
their own heads. Set the Lord God. Then did the cherubus lift up
their wings, and the wheels beside them, and the glory of the Lord,
the glory of the God of Israel, was over them above, and
the glory of the Lord, went up from the midst of the city and
stood up upon and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of
the city. Afterwards, the spirit took me up and brought me in a
vision by the Spirit of God into Shodiah to them of the captivity. So
the vision that I had seen went up from me. Then I spake it
to them of the captivity, all the things that the Lord had showed me.
Powerful reading. That's the Book of Ezekiel, chapter eleven. Wow.
Wow, wow. So this is a very powerful, beautiful, and kind
of scary reading all at once. But remember this is Ezekiel getting shown all
these things. He's having all these encounters and visions and dreams. So this
is more overwhelming for Ezekiel, if anything, right, because Ezekiel's getting all
the access to all these things, you know, and God has shown Ezekiel
that the Lord will, you know, go after Israel and slay them and
what have you, and that he knows that he knows what's on their mind,
he knows all their intentions. But then he also lets Ezekiel know that
as well will be gathered again. All right, So it's kind of similar
to a Jeremiah, as I was all prophesized, All the prophets prophesized in
similar manners, but just in different expressive ways. But the Lord will gather
his people from all four corners of the earth. That's explained again also in
Ezekiel, and how God will take out the heart of stone and give us
a heart of flesh. All right, So got to clean it them hearts
people, that stone heart that y'all got. May I need to get rid
of that, all right, fix it, clean it up, y'all do
better, all right. No more unforgiveness, no more holding grudges, no
more bitterness or sourness or anything that makes the heart stone. You know,
the Lord gonna give us a heart of flesh, and we will He would
be our God, we would be as people, similar to a Jeremiah covenant
in thirty one Chapter thirty one. All right, So, and Ezekiel now
is seeing all the things in Shalda, so that the spirit of God is
moving Ezekiel to Shaldia. Right. So that was the Book of Ezekiel chapter
eleven, reading. Now we will go to the Book of Ezekiel chapter twelve,
reading. All right, the Book of Ezekiel, chapter twelve. Here
we go. The word of the Lord also came into me, saying,
son of Man, thou dwell us in the midst of a rebellious house,
which I have eyes to see and see not. They have ears ears to
hear, and hear not, for they are a rebellious house. Therefore,
thou, son of Man, prepare thee stuff for removing and removed by day
in their sight, and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in
their sight. It may be they will, they will consider, though they
be a rebellious house. Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in
their sight, ask stuff for removing, And thou shalt go forth at evening
at even in their sight. As they go that go forth into captivity,
dig thou through the wall in their sight and carry out thereby in their sight.
Shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders and carry it forth in the twilight.
Thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground. For
I have set thee for assigned to the House of Israel, and I did
so as I was commanded. I brought forth my stuff by day as stuff
for captivity, and in the in the even even and I digged through the
wall with my hand. I brought it forth in the twilight, and I
bear it upon my shoulder in their sight. And in the morning came the
word of the Lord unto me, saying, Son of Man, hath not
the house of Israel or rebellious house set unto thee What doest thou say unto
them? Thus set the Lord God this burden concerned the Prince in Jerusalem,
and all the house of Israel that are among them, say, I am
your sign, like as I have done, So shall it be unto them.
They shall remove and go into captivity. And the prince that is among
them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight and shall go forth. They
shall dig through the wall to carry out. Thereby he shall cover his face
that he seemed not the ground with his eyes. My net also will I
spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I
will bring him to Babylon, to the land of the Shaldeans. Yes,
shall he not see it, though he shall die there. And I will
scattered out toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and
all his bands, and I will draw out the sword after him, and
they shall know that I am the Lord. When I shall scatter them among
the nations and disperse, disperse them in the countries. But I will leave
a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, from the
pestlins, that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen, whether they
come, and they shall know that I am the Lord. Moreover, the
word of the Lord came to me, saying, son of Man, eat
thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling, and with carefulness,
and saying, too, the people of the land, thus set the
Lord of God, of the inhabitants of Jerusalem and of the Land of Israel.
They shall eat their bread with carefulness and drink their water with astonishment.
That her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the
violence of all of them that dwell therein, and the cities that are inhabitants
shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate. And ye shall
know that I am the Lord. And the word of the Lord came into
me, saying, son of Man, what is that proverb that ye have
in the land of Israel, saying the days are prolonged, and every vision
faileth. Tell them. Therefore, thus the Lord God, I will make
this proverb to cease, and they shall go, and they shall no more
use it as a proverb in Israel. But saying to them, the days
are at hand and the effect of every vision, for there shall be no
more any vain vision, nor flatter and divination within the house of his Zelm.
If I am the Lord, I will speak, and the word that
I shall speak shall come to past. It shall be no more prolonged.
For in your days or rebellious house, will I say the word and will
perform it. Seth the Lord God again the word the Lord came to me,
saying, son of man, behold day of the house of Israel.
Say the vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he
prophesies of the times that are far off, far off. Therefore, saying
to them that set the Lord God. There shall none of my words be
prolonged anymore. But the word which I spoken shall be done. Set the
Lord God. That's the Book of Ezekiel, chapter twelve reading, And that's
the Lord speaking more to Ezekiel, more and more about the nations and captivity
in Babylon, and things of that nature. And the Shaal deans also they're
kind of like mocking Ezekiel because they're saying that, oh, the things that
Ezekiel's prophesized, it's gonna be far off. But the Lord is saying like,
no, it's gonna be done. It's gonna be done suddenly, urgently,
you know what I'm saying. So when the Lord speaks through a prophet,
certain things will be done on the spot, instant, and then a
few things may take time over time, but it will be done because at
the end of the day, the word of the Lord doesn't come back void.
So when God say something, it's going to be accomplished, period.
All right. So that was the Book of Ezekiel, chapter twelve. Reading
Now we were going to the Book of Ezekiel chapter thirteen. Reading right,
the Book of Ezekiel, chapter thirteen. Here we go, and the where
of the Lord came into me saying, son of Man, prophesize against the
prophets of Israel that prophesize, And say, thou unto them that prophecy out
of their own hearts, that prophesizes out of their own hearts. Hear ye,
the word of the Lord. Thus set the Lord God woe unto the
foolish prophets that follow their own spirit and have seen nothing, Oh, Israel,
that prophets are like the foxes and the deserts. Ye have not gone
up until the apps, neither made of the hedge for the House of Israel
to stand in the battle in the day of the Lord. They have seen
vanity and lying divination, saying the Lord saith and the Lord hath not sent
them, and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word.
Have ye not seen a vain vision? And have ye not spoken a
lying divination? Whereas ye say, the Lord hath said it all be,
albeit I have not spoken. Therefore, thus said the Lord God, because
ye have spoken vanity and seen lives. Therefore behold, I am against you,
Saith, the Lord God. And my hand shall be upon the prophets
that see vanity and that divine lies. There shall not be in the assembly
of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the House
of Israel. Neither shall they enter into the land of Israel. And ye
shall know that I am the Lord God. Because even because they have seduced
my people saying peace, and there was no peace, and one built up
a wall, and load others daubed it with untempered mortar, saying to them
which daub it with untempered mortar, that it shall shall, it shall fail
fall, there shall be an overflowing shower, and ye owe, great hailstones
shall fall, and a stormy wind shall rend it low. When the wall
has fallen, Shall it not be said unto you where is the dabbing?
Wherewith ye have dabbed it. Therefore, thus said the Lord God, I
will even read it with a stormy wind in my fury, and there shall
be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in then my fury
to consume it. So I will break down the wall that ye have daubed
with untempered mortar, and bring it down to the ground, so that the
founder of shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be
consumed in the midst of, and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
Thus I will thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall and upon
them that have daubed it with untempered mortar, and will say unto you the
wall us no more. Neither they adopted to with the prophets of Israel,
which prophesied concern is Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her,
And there is no peace that the Lord God. Likewise, thou, son
of Man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesizes
out of their own heart, and prophesize thou against them, and say thus
that the Lord God, woe to the women that sue pillows to all armholes,
and make kerchiefs kerchiefs upon the head of every stature, to hunt souls.
Will ye hunt the souls of my people? And will ye save the
souls alive that coming to you, And will ye pollute me among my people
for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that
should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live.
By your lying to my people that hear your lives. Wherefore, thus that
the Lord God behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye they're hunt
the souls to make them fly. And I will tear them from your arms,
and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to
make them fly. Excuse me, your kurdchief your Kurd chiefs, handkerchiefs,
your kurchiefs. Also will I tear and deliver my people out of your hand,
and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted. And
ye shall know that I am the Lord, because with lies ye have made
the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad, and
strengthen the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked
way by promise him life. Therefore ye shall see no more vanity nor divine
divinations, for I will deliver my people out of your hand, and ye
shall know that I am the Lord. That's the Book of Ezekiel, chapter
thirteen reading. So the Lord's lend it be known. What's good. You
know what I'm saying. The Lord is going to lay down that wrath and
anger, the hailstones and all. You'll know how the Lord get down with
his anger. Right, Remember, he is a consuming fire, so don't
forget that. All right, it's the Book of Ezekiel, chapter thirteen reading.
Now we will go to the Book of Ezekiel chapter fourteen reading. All
right, the Book of Ezekiel, chapter fourteen. Here we go, all
right, Ezekiel fourteen then came certain of the elders of Israel to me and
sat before me, and the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Son of Man, these men have set up their idols in their heart
and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their face. Should I be
inquired of all at all by them, Therefore speaketh to them, and saying
to them, thus set the Lord God, every man of the House of
Israel, that setteth up his idols in his heart and putteth the stumbling block
of his iniquity before his face, and come into the prophet. And it
cometh to the prophet. Either Lord will answer him that cometh according to the
multiple of his idols, that I may take the House of Israel in their
own heart, because they are all stranged from Me through their idols. Therefore,
saying to the House of Israel, thus set the Lord God, repent,
and turn yourselves from your idols, and turn away, turn away your
faces from all your abominations. For every one of the House of Israel or
of the Stranger, that so joineth in Israel, which separateth himself from Me,
and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling block
of his iniquity before his face, and cometh too a prophet to enquire of
him concerning me. Either Lord will answer him by myself, and I will
set my face against that man, and will make him a sign in a
proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people.
And ye shall know that I am the Lord. And if the prophet be
deceived when he hath spoken a thing, either Lord have deceived that prophet,
and I will stretch out my hand upon him and will destroy him from the
midst of my people Israel. And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity.
The punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that
seeketh unto him. That the house of Israel may go no more a straight
from me, neither be polluted anymore with all their transgressions, but that they
may be my people, and I may be their God. Set the Lord
God. The word of the Lord came against me, saying, son of
Man. When the land senneth against me by a trust passing grievously, then
will I stretch out my hand upon it, and will break the staff of
the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it. And will cut off
man and beast from it. Though these men, though these three men,
Noah, Daniel and Job were in it, they they should deliver, but
their own souls by their righteousness, set the Lord God. If I cause
noisome beast to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that
it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beast.
Though these three men were in it, as I live, set the Lord
God, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters. They only shall be delivered,
but the land shall be desolate. Or if I bring a sword upon
that land and say, sword go through the land, so that I cut
off man and beast from it. Though these three men were in it,
as I live, set the Lord God, they shall deliver neither sons nor
daughters. But they shall only be delivered themselves. Or if I send a
pestlence unto that land and pour out my fury upon it upon it in blood,
to cut off from it man and beasts. Though Noah, Daniel and
Joe were in it, as I live, said the Lord God, they
shall deliver neither son nor daughter. They shall but deliver their own souls by
their righteousness. For thus set the Lord God. How much more when I
send my forth sword judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword and the famine, and
the noisome beast and the pestlance to cut off from it, man and beast.
Yet, behold, their end shall be left a remnant of that shall
be brought forth, both sons and daughters. Behold, they shall come forth
unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings. And ye
shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning
all that I have brought upon it. And they shall comfort you when ye
see their ways and their doings, And ye shall know that I have not
done with our cause all that I have done in it, set the Lord
God. Man. That's the book of its Egel, chapter fourteen. Reading.
When you read the book of Prophets of like Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel
Man, it's heavy when you really like when it sinks in, when you
meditate on the word and you really read it and let us sing in.
It's like man like the Lord was going in. He said, Hey,
even if Noah Daniel Job was in there, you know, he mentioned them
three times, because Noah's righteousness is what saved them. Daniel's righteousness is what
saved them. Job's righteousness is what saved them. You know. That's the
beauty of righteousness. That's why it's important to be righteous, you know,
because like that that grace that favored that's upon you, that protection, that
mercy is just endless, you know. And those three men were like the
best examples you can find a righteousness because with many of the most highs,
like priests of prophets or like certain people, they kind of had a lot
of flaws or certain sins that kind of you know, it kind of got
in their own way, it would have you. But when you look at
Noah, Daniel, and Job, they didn't make too much mistakes, They
didn't have much flaws. They was like really on point for God. You
know. The Bible described Job as a perfect man that shunned evil. The
Bible described Noah as a perfect man and had grace in God's eyes, you
know. And the Bible described Daniel a man with an excellent spirit. So
it's just interesting how you see how detail those three men are, how the
Lord mentions those three, you know what I mean. So it's like,
man, you know, God's anger and wrath is something else, man,
That's why we got to really fairm and do better. But you see how
righteousness saves just being righteous, being righteous, you can dodge God's wrath and
anger and also goes back to a lot where you know, God told a
lot get out of saw him in Gamoor. You know, he's spared a
lot and his daughters. But his wife turned to look back and turned to
a pillar. But you know, and I believe it was in Genesis.
I believe a lot or Abraham's locking to God about if there's fifty righteous people
or five righteous people, will you save them? You know? So it's
a numbers ratio thing of the few righteous people in the land that will be
protected and saved by God and their righteousness that will save them, and then
the rest will be weeded out and hurt by it. Excuse me. So
you see the importance of being righteous before God's eyes. Man. You know,
God's protection is beautiful. His wrath is something else. I ain't gonn
playmate, but his his protection is as it's beautiful. Can you imagine how
Noah felt after the flood? Can you imagine how Daniel felt after going through
the fiery furnace and after going through the lionston can you imagine how Job felt
after passing those trials and tribulations and testing hardships. Amen, So I'm telling
you man, God's protection and promises are beautiful, but we have to embrace
them more. All right, Yes, yes, y'all. So that's the
Book of Ezekiel chapter fourteen. Let us get into the Book of Ezekiel chapter
fifteen. All right, the Book of Ezekiel chapter fifteen. Here we go.
And the word of the Lord came up to me, saying, son
of man, what is the vine tree more than any tree, or than
a branch which is among the trees of the forest. Shall would be taken
thereof to do any work? Or will men take a pin of it to
hang any vessel? There on? Behold, it is cast it to the
fire for fuel. The fire devoured both the ends of it, and the
midst of it is burned. Is it meet? Is it meant for any
work? Behold? When it was whole it was meant for no work?
How much less shall it be meant for yet any work? Yet for any
work? When the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned? Therefore,
thus of the Lord God as the vine tree among the trees of the
forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel. So will I
give the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and I will set my face against them.
They shall go out from one fire, and another fire shall devour with them.
And ye shall know that I am the Lord when I set my face
against them, and I will make the land desolate, because they have committed
a trustpass set the Lord God. It's Ezekiel chapter fifteen, reading. God
is not playing with the wickedness, y'all. He is not playing with them
transgressions. He's not playing with Israel. Man, man, man, man,
that's crazy, right, So that's a Book of Ezekiel chapter fifteen reading.
Let us go to the Book of Ezekiel chapter sixteen, reading, all
right, the Book of Ezekiel, chapter sixteen. Here we go, Ezekiel
sixteen And the where of the Lord came into me saying, son of Man
caused Jerusalem to know her abominations. As say, thus said the Lord God,
unto Jerusalem. Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan.
Thy father was an amorright, and thy mother and Hittite. And as
for thy Nativity. In the day thou wast born, Thy novel was not
cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple THEE. To please THEE.
Thou was not salted at all, nor swallowed at all. None.
I putide THEE, pity THEE to do any of these, unto THEE to
have compassion upon THEE. But thou wast cast out in the open field to
the low thing of thy person. In the day that thou was born,
and when I was, and when I passed by THEE and saw THEE polluted
in thy own blood, I said, unto THEE, when thou was in
thy blood live, Yeah, I said, unto THEE, when thou was
in thy blood live. I have caused THEE to multiply as the bud of
the field, and thou hast increased in waxing great, and thou art to
come to excellent and thou art come to excellent ornaments. Thy breast are fashioned,
and thine hair is grown. Whereas thou was naked and bare. Now,
when I passed by THEE and looked upon THEE, behold, thy time
was the time of love. And I spread my skirt over THEE and covered
thy nakedness. Y'all swear to thee, and entered into a covenant with thee.
Set the Lord God, and thou becamest mine. Then washed I thee
with water, y'ah thoroughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I annointed
thee with oil. I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee
with badger's skin, and I girdled thee about with fine linen, and I
covered thee with silk. I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put
bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck. And I put
a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful
crown upon thy head. Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver, and
thy reign was of fine linen and silk and broidered work. Thou didst eat
fine flour and honey and oil, and thou was exceedingly exceeding beautiful, And
thou didst prospered to a kingdom, And thy renown went forth among the heathen
for thy beauty, for it was perfect through through my comeliness, which I
had put upon thee. Set the Lord God. But thou didst trust in
thy own beauty, and played ist the harlot. Because of thy renown,
and pourst out of thy fornications on everyone that passed by, as it was,
and of thy garments, Thou didst take and deckest thy high places with
diverse colors, and played and playest the harlot. Thereupon, like the things,
the like things shall not come, neither shall it be. So.
Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels, of my golden, of my silver,
which I had given THEE, and madest to thyself images of men,
and didst commit hoardom with them, and tookst thy broidered garments and coveredest them.
And thou hast set my oil and my unsense before them my meat,
also, which I gave THEE fine flower and oil and honey, wherewith I
fed THEE. Thou hast even set it before them for a sweet savor,
And thus it was set the Lord God. Moreover, thou hast taken thy
sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne into me, and these hast
thou sacrificed it to them to be devoured. Is this of thy hoardoms of
small matter, that thou hast slain my children and delivered them to cause them
to pass through the fire for them. And in all thy abominations and thy
hoardoms, thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou was
naked and bare, and was polluted in thy blood. And it came to
pass after all thy wickedness, woe, woe unto THEE set the Lord God,
that thou hast also built unto THEE in imminent place, and hast made
THEE in high place in every street. Thou hast built thy high place at
every head of the way, at every head of the way. It has
made thy beauty to be abhorred. And hast opened thy feet to everyone that
passed by, and multiplied thy hordems. Thou hast also committed fornication with the
Egyptians. Thy neighbors great of flesh, and has increased thy hordems to provoke
me to anger. Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over THEE,
and have diminished thy ordinary food, and delivered THEE unto the will of
them that hate THEE. The daughters are the Philistines, which are ashamed of
thy lewed way. Thou hast played the horror also with the Assyrians, because
thou hast unsensitive, unsatiable. Yeah, thou hast played the heart lit with
them, and yet couldst not be satisfied. Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication
and the land of Canaan until Shalda, and yet thou was not satisfied.
Therewith herewith how weak is thine heart, said the Lord God, seeing thou
doest all these things the work of an emperor's horsh woman, And that thou
buildest thy an imminent place in the head of every way, and makest thy
high place in every street. And hast not been as a harlot in that
thou scornest higher, but as a wife that committeth adultery, which takest strangers
instead of her husband. They give gifts to all horse, but thou givest
thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come
unto THEE on every side for thy hordom. And the contrary is in THEE
from other women in thy hordoms, whereas none follow with THEE to commit hordoms.
And in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto
THEE. Therefore thou art contrary. Wherefore O harlot hear the way of the
Lord. Thus set the Lord God, because thy filthiness was poured out,
and thy nakedness discovered through thy hordoms with thy lovers, and with all the
idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou
didst give unto them. Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers with
whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all of them that has thou hast love,
with all them that thou hast hated. I will even gather them round
about against THEE, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may
see all thy nakedness. And I will judge THEE as women that break wedlock
and shut blood are judged. And I will give THEE blood and fury and
jealousy. And I will also give THEE into thy hand. And they shall
throw down thy eminent place, and shalt break down thy high places. They
shall strip THEE also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels,
and leave THEE naked and bear they also shall They shall also bring up a
company against THEE. And they shall stone THEE with stones and thrust THEE through
with their swords, and they shall burn thy houses with fire, and execute
judgments upon THEE in the sight of many women. And I will cause THEE
to cease from playing the harlot. And thou also shalt give no hire anymore.
So will I make my fury towards THEE to rest, and my jealousy
shall depart from THEE. And I will be quiet and will be no more
angry, because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but has
fretted me. And all these things behold. Therefore, I also will recompense
thy way upon thy head, said the Lord God. And thou shalt not
commit this lowness above all thy abominations. Behold, everyone that use the proverbs
shall use this proverb against THEE, saying, as is the mother, so
is her daughter, Thou art thy mother's daughter, and that lost with her
husband and her children, And thou art the sister of thy sisters which lost
their husbands and their children. Your mother was in hittite, wasn't tight,
and your father an emma right, And thine elder sister is Samaria she and
her daughters that dwelt at thy left hand, and thy younger sister that dwelleth
at that right hand is Sodom and her daughters. M Yet hast thou not
walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations, But as if that
were a very little thing, Thou was corrupted more than they in all thy
ways. As I lived at the Lord God soldom, thy sister hath not
done she nor her daughters, as thou hast done Thou and thy daughters.
Wow, Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister, and Sodom pride,
fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and her daughters.
Neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor needy. And they were
haughty and committed abomination before me. Therefore I took them away as I saw
good. Neither has Samaria committed half of thy sins. But thou hast multiplied
that abomination is more than they, and has justified thy sisters, and all
thy abominations which thou hast done. Thou also which hast judged thy sisters,
bear thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more more abominable than
they. They are more righteous than thou. Yeah, be thou confined confounded
also, and bear thy shame, and that thou hast justified thy sisters.
When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Seldom and her daughters,
and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then I would bring again
the captivity of thy captors in the midst of them, that thou mayest bear
thine own shame, and mayst be confounded in all that thou hast done,
and that thou art a comfort unto them. When thy sisters Soldom and her
daughter shall return to their former estate, as Samia and her daughter shall return
to their former estate, then thou and thy daughter shall return to your former
estate. For thy sisters Soldom was not mentioned by thy Mouth in the day
of thy pride, before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of
thy reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all that are round about her,
the daughters of the Philistines, which despise thee round about Thou hast borne
thy lewdness and thy abomination set the Lord. For thus sat the Lord God,
I will even deal with THEE as thou hast done, which hast despised
the oath and breaking the covenant. Nevertheless, I will remember my covenant with
THEE in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto THEE and
everlasting covenant. Then thou shalt remember thy ways and be ashamed when thou shalt
receive thy sisters, thy elder, and thy younger, and I will give
them unto THEE for daughters, but not by thy covenant. And I will
establish my covenant with THEE. And thou shalt know that I am the Lord
that thou mayest remember and be confounded and never open thy mouth anymore because of
thy shame. When I am pacified toward THEE for all that thou hast done.
Set the Lord God. Man, Man, Man, that's the book
of Ezekiel, chapter sixteen reading. And God has really going in on Israel.
Man. He's bringing up Samaria and Sodom and Gomore and everything. He
sawed them. You know, he said, Sowdom and samrymore righteous than y'all.
Shesh. He said, y'all done worse than they did. Ain't That's
something, man, that shows you how much Israel was walling out. Man,
They was really tripping with their fornications, their idolatry. They are abominable
things. They're testable things. The Lord was really fed up with it,
man, he really was, you know. So that was evident that that's
the Book of Ezekiel, chapter sixteen. Now we're gonna go to the Book
of Ezekiel chapter seventeen. All right, the Book of Ezekiel, chapter seventeen.
Here we go. And then wherever the Lord came into me, saying,
son of Man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable into
the house of Israel, and say thus that the Lord God, a great
eagle with great wings, long winged, full of feathers, which had delivered,
which had divers colors, came into Lebanon and took the highest branch of
the cedar. He cropped off the top of his young twigs and carried it
into a land of traffic. He set it in a city of merchants.
He took also of the seat of the land and planted it in a fruitful
field. He placed it by great waters and set it as a willow tree.
And it grew and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches
turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him. So it became
a vine and brought forth branches, and shot forth spriggs, shot forth spriggs.
There was also another great eagle, with great wings and many feathers.
And behold, this vine did bend her rouse toward him, and shot forth
her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her
plantation. It was planted in the good soil by great waters, that it
might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might
be a good le vine. Say thou thus that the Lord God shall it
prosper? Shall he not pull up the roots thereof and cut off the fruit
thereof? That it that it with her? It shall with her in all
the leaves of her spring, of a spring, even without great power or
many people to plug it up by the roots thereof. Yet behold, being
planted, shall it prosper? Shall it not utterly wither when the east wind
toucheth it. It shall with her in the furrows where it grew. Moreover,
the worre of the Lord came into me, saying, say no to
the rebellious house, know ye not what these things mean? Tell them behold,
the King of Babylon has come to Jerusalem, and had taken the kingdore
Of and the Princess thereof, and led them with him to Babylon, and
have taken of the king's seed, and made a covenant with him, and
have taken an oath of him. He hath also taken the mighty of the
land, that the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself
up, but that by keeping of his covenant it might stand. But he
rebelled against him, and sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give
him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? Shall he escape that doeth
such things? Or shall he break the covenant and be delivered? As I
live? Saith the Lord God Shirley in the place, whether King dwelleth that
made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he break even
with him in the midst of Babylon, he shall die. Neither shall Pharaoh,
with his mighty army and great company make for him in the war by
casting up mounts and building fords to cut off many persons. Seeing he despised
the oath by breaking the covenant, when lo he had given his hand and
had done all these things, he shall not escape. Therefore, thus sat
the Lord God, as I live shirley my oath that he hath despised,
and my covenant that he hath broken, even it, will I recompense upon
his own head, and I will spread my net upon him, and he
shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon and
will plead with him. Therefore his trustpass, that he hath trespassed against me,
and all his fugitives, with all his bands, shall fall by the
sword, and they'd have remained shall be scattered towards all winds. And ye
shall know that I the Lord have spoken it. Thus said the Lord God.
I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar and will
set it. I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a
tender one, and will plant upon it on planet, and will plant it
upon a high mountain and imminent. And the mountain of the height of Israel
will I plant it, and it shall bring forth boffs and bear fruit and
be a all. I'm to repeat that my bad and the mountain of the
height of Israel will I planted and it shall bring forth boffs and bear fruit,
and be a goodly cedar, and under a shall dwell. All out
of every wing, and in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.
And all the trees of the field shall know that either Lord have brought
down the high tree, have exalted a low tree, had dried up the
green tree, and have made the dried tree to flourish. Either Lord have
spoken and have done it. So that's a Book of Ezekiel, chapter seventeen,
reading. Yeah, So Ezekiel seventeen is basically discovered how the Lord's going
to cut off these nations and coffe these haughty people, and how he will
tear down these high set trees, and then he will bring up a lower
tree the more humble people, right, And how the Lord will build out
of things that are low or what have you exalted? All right? So
that's a Book of Ezekiel chapter seventeen reading. Now we were going to the
Book of Ezekiel chapter eighteen, reading a right, the Book of Ezekiel chapter
eighteen. Here we go the wherever the Lord came into me against saying what
means ye that ye used this proverb against the land of Israel, saying,
the fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge.
As I lives at the Lord God, ye shall not have occasion anymore
to use this proverb in Israel. Behold, all souls are mine, as
the soul of the father soul, also as the soul of the son is
mind, and soul that sinneth, it shall die. But if a man
be just and do that which is lawful and right, excuse me. And
hath not eaten upon the mountains. Neither hath lifted up his eyes to the
idols of the house of Israel. Neither hath defiled his neighbor's wife, neither
hath come near to a minstreus woman. And hath not oppressed any But hath
restored to the depth or his pledge. Hath spoiled none by violence. Hath
given his bread to the hungry, Hath to cover the naked with the garment
he that he that hath not given forth upon usury. Neither hath taken any
increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity. Hath executed true judgment between
man and man. Hath walked in my statues, and hath kept my judgments
to deal. Truly he is just. He shall shuttle live saith the Lord
God. If he beget a son that is a robber, a shudder of
blood, and that doeth the like to any one of these things, and
that doeth not any of those duties. But even hath eaten upon the mountains
and defiled his neighbor's wife, Hath oppressed the poor and needy, Hath spoiled
by violence, Hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes
to the idols. Hath committed abomination, hath given forth upon usury and have
taken it, and hath taken increase. Shall he then live? He shall
not live. He hath done all these abominations, he shall surely die.
His blood shall be upon him now low. If he beget a son that
seeth all his father's sins, which he hath done, and considereth it,
and doeth not such like that, hath not eaten up upon the mountains,
Neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the House of Israel.
Hath not defiled his neighbor's wife neath the hath oppressed any hath not withholden the
pledge. Neither hath spoiled by violence, But hath given his bread to the
hungry, and hath covered the naked with the gardment. That hath taken off
his hand from the poor, that hath not received usury nor increase, hath
executed my judgments, hath walked in my statues. He shall not die for
the niquity of his father. He shall shurely live as for his father.
Because he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which
is not good among his people. Lo even he shall dine his iniquity.
Yet, say ye, why do it the son? Why doth not the
son bear the niquity of the father. When the son hath done that which
is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statues, and hath not
and hath done them, He shall shurely live. The soul that sinneth it
shall die. The son shall not bear the niquity of the father. Neither
shall the father brother ni with his son. The righteousness of the righteous shall
be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed,
and keep all my statutes and do that which is lawful and right. He
shall shurely live. He shall not die. All his transgressions that he hath
committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him. It has righteousness that he
hath done, he shall live. Have I any pleasure at all? That
the wicked shall die set the Lord God, and not that he should return
from his ways and live. But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness
and committeth iniquity and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth,
shall he live. All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be
mentioned. In his trustpassed that he hath trustpassed, and his sin that he
hath sinned in them shall he die. Yet, ye say, the way
of the Lord is not equal here now, O House of Israel, is
not my way equal? Are not your ways unequal? When a righteous man
turneth away from righteousness, from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity and dieth in
them for his iniquity that he hath done, shall shall he die again?
When the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness, that he hath committed and
doeth that which is lawful right. He shall save his soul alive. Because
he considereth and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he
shall surely live. He shall not die. Yet, Set the House of
Israel. The way of the Lord is not equal, Old House of Israel.
Are not my ways equal? Are not your ways unequal? Therefore I
will judge you, Old House of Israel, everyone according to his ways.
Set the Lord God. Repent and turn yourself from all your transgressions, so
iniquity shall not be your ruin. Cast away from you all your transgressions whereby
ye have transgressed, and make you a new heart and a new spirit.
For why will ye die, Old House of Israel. I have no pleasure
in the death of him that dieth Set the Lord God. Wherefore turn yourselves
ye live and live ye. It's a Book of Ezekiel, chapter eighteen reading.
It's a very powerful reading right there, because God is talking to Ezekiel
more and more about parables in the way of life, and the Lord has
expressed in Ezekiel about sin and souls and doing right and those who do wrong,
and how the Lord will judge all, you know, and he makes
the saying of if a wicked person turns from his ways and becomes righteous,
he shall live. But for a righteous person turns from his righteous ways and
starts going after niqulities, then he shall die. So the Lord has his
way of dealing with the righteous and the wicked, and also goes back to
the Book of Proverbs, and it also goes back to the Gospel of Jesus.
You know, Jesus said that whoever keeps his life shall lose it,
But whoever loses life for my name, say for the Gospel's sake, shall
keep it. So you kind of see those parables and how the wording goes
right. But all in all, the way we live is important. You
know, God sees all, and you know we're all going to be judged
for all that we've done on earth, you know what I'm saying. So
we gotta be more mindful on how we go about things with our decisions,
and you know, be more better with the way we live man, you
know, because we live in a very lawless generation. So it's very easy
to send today because of how contagious it is and how trendy people make it
as social media makes it. How they normalize wickedness, and they say,
and what have you? And then nowadays as evil as good and good as
evil. You know, Asaiah quoted that about woe to them who says those
things. You know. So this world today so backwards, and people embrace
in too much. People embrace iniquity too much, people embrace transgressions too much,
and abominations too much. That's the problem. Only a few people in
these last days will actually turn away from it. Right, we as believers,
we as people, we have to constantly tell people to repent and turn
from their ways. But we have to also make sure we're doing it as
well, because we don't want to be a hypocrite to being inconsistent and not
practice what we preach. All right, we gotta make sure we look in
that mirror, we look in our hearts, and we ask ourselves our true
living right for the Lord, you know, to everyday progress, every day
living man. We gotta better ourselves and better others around us, all right,
And the word does it better? And the examples we said are better.
Okay. So the Book of Ezekiel, chapter eighteen is a very powerful
reading man. The whole Bible is powerful, of course, but like Ezekiel,
it's very interesting to read, you know, very interesting to read.
All right, So as a Book of Ezekiel chapter eighteen reading, let us
go to the Book of Ezekiel chapter nineteen. All right, the Book of
Ezekiel, chapter nineteen. Here we go moreover, Take thou up a limitation
for the princess of Israel, and say, what is thy mother? A
lioness? She laid down among lions. She nourished her well as a young
lions. And she brought up one of her whelps. It became a young
lion, and it leaned, and it learned to catch the prey. It
devoured men. The nations also heard of him. He was taken in their
pit, and they brought him with chains into the land of Egypt. Now,
when she saw that she had waited and her hope was lost, then
she took another of her whelps and made him a young lion. And he
went up and down among the lions. He became a young lion and learned
to cast the prey, and devoured men. And he knew, he knew
their desolate palaces, and he said late, and he laid waste their cities,
and the land was desolate, and the fullness thereof by the noise of
his roaring. Then the nations said against him on every side from the provinces,
and spread their net over him. He was taken in their pit,
and they put him inward in chains, and brought him to the king of
Babylon. They brought him into holds, that his voice should no more be
heard upon the mountains of Israel. Thy mother is like a vine in thy
blood, planted by the waters. She was fruitful and full of branches by
reason of many waters, as she had strong rods for the acepters of them.
That bare rule at her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and
she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches. But she was
plucked up in fury. She was cast down to the ground, and the
east wind dried up her fruit. Her strong rods were broken and withered the
fire consumed them. Excuse me, and now she is planted in the wilderness,
in a dry and thirsty ground, and fire has gone out of a
rod of her branches, which have devoured her fruit, so that she had
no strong rod to be accepted to rule this is a lamentation as shab for
a lamentation, all right. So that's the Book of Ezekiel, chapter nineteen
reading, all right, all right, So Ezekiel chapter nineteen reading, Now
was the Lord speak and towards a limitation towards Israel, all right, regarding
detonation and the woman and their resources and all that. You see, how
God, when he speaks in parables or in the poetic fashion, it always
deals with nature like animals or land, or resources or descriptions of the things
he made. So when God speaks to his people as prophets of his vessels,
he always speaks to them in a poetic expressive way. You know,
he doesn't. He's not a playing communicate. He could say some things playing,
but other things he's say in a literate, figurative way, you know
what I mean. But it's important to have that wisdom understanding, knowledge of
what God is getting through getting to you, and also the obedience of his
voice as well, and taking heed to ways telling you and hearkening to it.
All right. So that was a Book of Ezekiel chapter nineteen reading.
Now we will get into the Book of Ezekiel chapter twenty. All right,
the book of Ezekiel, chapter twenty. Here we go, And it came
to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day
of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of
the Lord and sat before me. Then came the word of the Lord unto
me, saying, son of Man, speak it to the elders of Israel,
saying to them, thus saith the Lord God, are ye come to
inquire of me? As I live? Said the Lord God, I will
not be inquired of by you. Will thou judge them, son of man,
Will thou judge them? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers,
And saying to them, thus said the Lord God. In the day
when I chose Israel and lifted up my hand and to the seat of the
house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt,
when I lifted up my hand unto them, saying I am the Lord
your God. And the day that I lifted up my hand or to them
to bring them forth of the land of Egypt, to the land that I
had aspired for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory
of all lands. Then I said, unto them, cast you away every
man that abominishes of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of
Egypt. I am the Lord your God. But they were built against me
and would not hearken to me. They did not every man cast away the
abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then
I said, I would pour out my fury Uponda to accomplish my anger against
them in the midst of the land of Egypt. But I route for my
namesake that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whom they were,
in whose sight I made thyself known to them, and bringing them forth
out of the land of Egypt. Wherefore I caused them to go forth out
of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness. And I
gave them my statues and showed them my judgments, which if a man do,
he shall even live in them. Moreover, also I gave them my
sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know
that I am the Lord that sanctify them, that sanctify them. But the
House of Israel rebuilt against me in the wilderness. They walked not in my
statues, and they despised my judgments, which if a man do, he
shall even live in them, And my sabbaths they greatly polluted. Then I
said, I will pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness to consume
them. But I route for my namesake that it should not be polluted before
the heathen, and whose sight I brought them out. Yeah. Also I
lifted up my hanner to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring
them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey,
which is the glory of all lands. Because they despised my judgments and
walked not in my statues, but polluted my sabbaths, for their heart went
after their idols. Nevertheless, my eye spared them from destroying them. Neither
did I make an end of them in the wilderness. But I said,
unto their children in the wilderness, walking not in the statues of your fathers,
neither observed their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols. I am
the Lord your God, who walk in my statues, and keep my judge
and do them and hollowed my sabbaths, and they shall be a signed between
me and you, that ye may know that I am the Lord your God.
Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me. They walked not in my statues,
neither kept my judgments, to do them, which if a man do,
he shall even live in them. Thy they polluted my sabbaths. Then I
said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger
against them in the wilderness. Nevertheless, I withdrew my hand and route for
my namesake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen,
at whose sight I brought them forth. I lifted up my hand unto
them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen and
disperse them through the countries, because they had not executed my judgments, but
had despised my statues and had polluted my sabbaths. And their eyes were after
their father's idols. Wherefore I gave them also statues that were not good and
judgments, whereby they should not live. And I polluted them in their own
gifts, And that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the
wound, that I might make them desolate to the end, that they might
know that I am the Lord. Therefore, son of men, speak it
to the House of Israel, and saying to them thus that the Lord God,
yet in this your fathers have blasphemed me, and that they have committed
a trespass against me. For when I had brought them into the land for
the which I lifted up my hand to give to them, to give it
to them, then they saw every high hill and all the thick trees,
and they offered. They offered their their sacrifices, and there they presented the
provocation of their offering. They're also they made their sweet savor, and poured
out their drink offerings, poured out their their drink offerings. Then I said
it to them, what is the high place where unto ye go? And
the name whereof is it called is called Bama. To this day? Wherefore
into the house of Israel, thus set the Lord God. Are ye polluted
after the manner of your fathers? And commit ye hoard them after their abominations.
For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass
through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even until this
day. And shall I be inquired of by you, o house of Israel.
As I lives at the Lord God, I will not be inquired of
by you, And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all
that ye say, we will be as the heathen, as the families of
the countries, to serve wood and stone. As I lives at the Lord
God. Surely, with a mighty hand and with a stretched out arm,
and with a fury poured out, will I rule over you. And I
will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the
countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand and with a stretched out
arm, and with fury poured out, And I will bring you into the
wilds of the people. And ne'er will I plead with you face to face,
like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of
Egypt. So will I plead with you, saith the Lord God. And
I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you
into the bond of the Covenant. And I will purge out from among you
the rebels and them that transgressed against me. I will bring them forth out
of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into into the
land of Israel, and ye shall know that I am the Lord. As
for you, o House of Israel. Thus set the Lord God, go
ye serve ye everyone his idols, ye, everyone his idols. And hereafter
also if ye will not hearken unto me, but pollute ye my holy name,
no more with your gifts, ye ye, my holy name, no
more, with your gifts and with your idols. For in my holy mountain,
in the mountain of the height of Israel, said the Lord God.
There shall all the House of Israel, all of them in the land,
serve me. There will I accept them, And there will I require your
offerings and the first fruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.
I will accept you with your sweet sivor. When I bring you out from
the people and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered,
and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen, and ye shall know
that I am the Lord. When I shall bring you into the land of
Israel, into the country for the which I lifted up my hand to give
it to your father's. And there shall ye remember your ways and all your
doings wherein ye have been defiled and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight
for all your evils that ye have committed. And ye shall know that I
am the Lord when I have routed with you for my namesake, not according
to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house
of Israel, said the Lord God. Moreover, the word the Lord came
into me, saying, son of Man, set thy face toward the south,
and drop thy word toward the south, and prophesy against the force of
the south. Field that say, to the force of the south, hear
the word of the Lord. Thus set the Lord, God of the Lord
God, excuse me. Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee,
and it shall devour every green tree in thee and every dry tree. The
flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the
north shall be burned therein, and all flush shall see that I the Lord,
have kindled it. It shall not be quenched. That said I,
Ah, Lord God. They say of me, doeth he not speak parables.
So that's the Book of Ezekiel, chapter twenty. Reading. Man,
that's a pretty heavy reading right there as well, because the elders of Israel
went out their way to inquire of the Lord and speak to Ezekiel. And
then the word the Lord came to Ezekiel, and he told him elders what
the deal was, and he just had to bring them back and to remember
of them and what their fathers did, of disobeyed the Most High and not
honor the Sabbath and not stick it to his statues and his decrees and precepts
and the loss as the commandments, and and they how they got mixed up
in idolatry, worshiping wooden stone and doing the things that the Heathens did and
the other nations did. So the Lord was really letting them have it,
you know. And then you also see Ezekiel prophesizing towards the south how to
lower problems fire and it can't be quenched, you know what I mean.
So yeah, I mean some heavy reading right there about these prophets man,
you know. So that's the Book of Ezekiel, chapter twenty reading. Now
we would go to the Book of Ezekiel, chapter twenty one. All right,
the Book of Ezekiel, chapter twenty one. Here we go, And
the word of the Lord came into me, saying, son of Man,
set that face towards Jerusalem, and drop that word towards the holy places,
and prophesied, guess the land of Israel. At say to the land of
Israel, that's that the Lord behold, I am against thee, and will
draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut all from thee,
the righteous and the wicked. Seeing that I will cut off from THEE
the righteous and the wicked. Therefore shall my sword go forth out of his
sheath against all flesh, from the south to the north, that all flesh
may know that I the Lord have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath.
I have a chef. It shall not return anymore. Side. Therefore,
thou, son of man, with the breaking of thy loins, and
with the bitterness, side before thy eyes, before their eyes. And it
shall be when they say unto thee. Wherefore sizest thou, that thou shalt
answer for the tidings. Because it cometh, and every heart shall shall melt,
and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and
all knee shall be weak as water. Behold, it cometh and shall be
brought to pass set the Lord God again, the where of the Lord came
into me saying, Son of Man, prophesy, and say, thus,
saith the Lord, say a sword. A sword is sharpened and also furbished.
It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter. It is furbished that it
may glitter. Should we then make mirth. It contempts. It contemneth the
rod of my son as every tree. And he hath given it to the
furbished, that it may be handied, handied handled. This sword is sharpened,
and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.
Cry and how, son of Man, for it shall be upon my
people. It shall be upon all the practice of Israel tears by reason of
the sword shall be upon my people. Smite therefore upon thy high, upon
thy thigh, because it is a trial. And what if the sword contempt
even the rod, it shall be no more, said the Lord God.
Therefore, son of Man prophesy, smite thy hands together, and let the
sword be doubled the third time. The sword of the slain. It is
a sword of the great men that are slain, which entereth into their privy
chambers. The privy chambers I have set the point of the sword against all
their gates, that their heart may faint, and their runs be multiplied.
Ah, it is made bright, it is wrapped up. For the slaughter
go thee one way or other, either on the right hand or on the
left, with her, soever thy face is set, I will also smite
my hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest. Either.
Lord have said it. The where of the Lord came unto me again,
saying also, thou, son of Man, appoint the two ways that the
sword of the King of Babylon may come. Both twain shall come forth out
of one hand, out of one land, and choose thou a place,
and choose it at the head of the way to the city a point away,
that the sword may come to Rabath Rabbith of the Emmonites, and to
Judah and Jerusalem. The defense for the King of Babylon stood at the parting
of the way, at the head of the two ways. To use divination,
he made his arrows bright, He consulted with images, he looked in
the liver. At his right hand was a divination for Jerusalem to appoint captains
to open the mouth, and the slaughter to lift up the voice with shouting,
to appoint battering ramps against the gates, to cast them mount and to
build a fort, and it shall be unto them as a false divination in
their sight, to them that have sworn oats. But he will call to
remember as the iniquity, that they may be taken. Therefore, thus that
the Lord God, because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, and
that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do
appear. Because I say that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be
taken with the hand. And now pro faign wicked Prince of Israel, whose
day is come when a nicquity shall have an end. Thus set the Lord
God, remove the dadem, the diadem, and take off the crown.
This shall not be the same. Exalt him that is low, and abase
him that is high. I will overturn, overturn, overturn it, and
it shall be no more until he come whose right it is, and I
will give it him. And thou, son of Man, prophesies, And
say, thus set the Lord God, concerned the Ammonites and concerned their reproach.
Even say thou the sword disorder is drawn for the slaughter. It is
furbished to consume because of the glittering whilest they see vanity unto THEE, whilest
they divine a lie unto THEE, to bring THEE upon the necks of them
that are slaying of the wicked, whose day is come, when their niquity
shall have an end, shall I cause it to return unto the sheath.
To the sheath. I will judge THEE in the place where thou was created,
and the land of thy activity nativity, And I will pour out my
indignation upon THEE. I will blow against THEE in the fire of my wrath,
and deliver THEE into the hand of brutish man and skillful to destroy.
Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire, and thy blood shall be in
the midst of the land. Thou shalt be no more remembered, for either
Lord have spoken it all right. That's the Book of Ezekiel, chapter twenty
one. Reading that one's different right there, because right there you know Ezekiel
twenty one. It definitely represents what's going on today because it says both the
righteous and the wicked will be slayed, will be cut off. The story
gonna hit both, The story gonna hit the righteous and the wicked m and
it said it sort out of the sheath. So once you release a weapon,
it can't come back in. That could also prophesize about nuclear warfare.
Two. You know, once you walk, once you launch a missile,
it can't go back in from where it came from. So when these other
nations get hit with wrath and nuclear warfare and all types of calamities, it's
just gonna be done. Man, It's the end time. So God's wrath
is heavy out here. You know what I'm saying. We got to do
better and live right, Amen, Let's not be fearful, though we'll be
we're watchman, We're watchful people, but not fearful. Right, Let's not
walk in fear. Let us walk bold and courage. Let us be full
of love and a merry heart and joy and the goodness of life and things
that nature. But also be specially aware of what's going on. Right.
So that was the Book of Ezekiel, chapter twenty one, reading. Let
us go to the Book of Ezekiel chapter twenty two. Reading right, the
Book of Ezekiel chapter twenty two. Here we go moreover the where of the
Lord came into me saying, now, Thou son of men, will thou
judge, Wilt thou judge the bloody city? Yeah, thou shalt show her
all her abominations. Then say thou thus that the Lord got the city shuddeth
blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh
idols against herself to defile herself. Thou art become guilty in thy blood that
thou hast shut and has defiled thyself and thy idols which thou hast made.
And thou has caused our days to draw near and art come even to thy
ears. Therefore have I made THEE a reproached to the heathen, and am
mocking to all the countries. Those that be near and those that be far
from THEE shall mock THEE, which are infamous and much vexed. Behold the
Princess of Israel. Everyone were indeed to their power to shud blood and thee.
Have they set light by father and mother in the midst of thee?
Have they dealt by oppression with the stranger and thee? Have they vexed the
fatherless and the widow. Thou hast despised my holy things and hast profaned my
sabbaths, and THEE are men that carry tails to shud blood. And in
thee they eat upon the mountains. In the midst of thee they commit they
commit lewdness. And THEE have they discovered their father's nakedness, And THEE have
they humbled her that was set apart for pollution? And one hath committed abomination
with his neighbor's wife, and another hath loudly defiled his daughter in law,
and another THEE hath humbled her sister, his father's daughter. And THEE have
they taken gifts to shed blood. Thou hast taken usury and increase, and
thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbors by extortion, and has forgotten me,
said the Lord God, excuse me. Behold, therefore I have smitten my
hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and that thy blood which
hath been in the midst of thee. Can thy heart endure or can thy
hands be strong? In the days that I shall deal with thee? Either
Lord have spoken it and will do it. And I will scatter THEE among
the heathen, and disperse THEE in the countries, and will consume thy filthness
out of thee, and thou shalt take thy inheritance and thyself in the sight
of the heathen, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord, and
the where of the Lord came into me, saying, son of Man,
the house of Israel is to me become dross draws. All they are all.
They are brass and tin, and iron and lead in the midst of
all the furnace. They are even the dross of silver. Therefore, thus
that the Lord God, because ye are become dross draws. Behold. Therefore,
I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. As they gather silver
and brass, and iron and lead and tin into the midst of the furnace,
to blow the fire upon it to melt. So will I gather you
in my anger and in my fury, and I will leave you there and
melt you. Yeah, I will gather you and blow upon you in the
fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof,
as silver is melted in the midst of the furnace. So shall ye be
melted, melted the mister of and ye shall know that I the Lord have
poured out my fury upon you, and the whereof the Lord came out into
me, saying, son of Man, saying to her, thou art the
land that has not cleansed nor reigned upon In a day of indignation. There
is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midster of like a roaring line,
ravening the prey, ravening and the prey. They have devoured souls, They
have taken the treasure and precious things. They have made her many window,
made her many widows in the midster of her priests have violated my law and
have profaned my holy things. They have put no difference between the holy and
profane. Neither have they showed difference between the unclean and the clean, and
have hid their eyes from my sabbaths. And I am profaned among them.
Her princess and the mister of are like wolves, ravening the prey, ravening
the prey to shut blood into destroy souls, to get dishonest game. And
her prophets have daubed them with untempered mock mortar, seeing vanity and divining lives,
divining lies into them, saying, thus set the Lord God. When
the Lord hath not spoken. The people of the land have used oppression and
exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy. Yeah, they have
oppressed a stranger wrongfully. And I sought for a man among them that should
make up the hedge and stand in the gap before me for the land,
that I should not destroy it. But I found none. Therefore have I
poured out my indignation upon them. I have consumed them with the fire of
my wrath their own way. Have I recompensed upon their heads set the Lord
God. So that's the Book of Ezekiel chapped between two reading. All right,
So the Lord is not playing with Israel and the other nations. You
know what I mean. There's some serious stuff, man. So you got
to fear the Lord and do better. All right? Right, I was
Ezekiel chapter twenty two reading. Let's go to the Book of Ezekiel chapter between
three reading and right the Book of Ezekiel chapped between three. Here we go.
The word of the Lord came again to me, saying, Son of
Man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother, and they
committed hordems in Egypt. They committed hordems in their youth there were their beasts
pressed, and there they bruised the teeth, the teats of their virginity,
the TETs of their virginity. And the names of them were Ajola, Ahala
the elder, and a Halaibah her sister. And they were mine, and
they bear sons and daughters. Thus were their names. Samaria is Ahalah and
Jerusalem Abbah Ahalaiba and Ahala played the harlot when she was mine, and she
dotted on her lovers, on the Assyrians, her neighbors, which were clothed
with blue cap blue captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men,
horsemen riding upon horses. Thus she committed her hordems with them, with all
them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all whom she doated,
she dotted with all their idols. She defiled herself. Neither left she
her hordems brought from Egypt, for in her youth they lay with her,
and they bruised the breast of her virginity and poured their hordem upon her.
Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand
of the Assyrians, upon whom she dotted these discovered her nakedness. They took
her sons and her daughters and slew her with the sword. And she became
famous among women, for they had executed judgment upon her. And when her
sister a Haliba saw this, she was more corrupt at her an ordinate love
than she and in her hordems, more than her sister, and her hordems.
She dotted upon the Assyrians, her neighbors, captains, the ruler's clothed,
most gorgeously horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men.
Then I saw, then I saw that she was defiled, that they took
both one away, they that they both took, that they took both one
way, And that she increased her hordems. For when she saw men portrayed
upon the wall, the images of the Shaldean's portrayed with vermelin Vermilion, girded
with girdles upon their loins, exceeding and died attire upon their heads, all
of them princess to look to after the manner of the Babylonians of Shaldia,
the land of their nativity, nativity. And as soon as she saw them
with her eyes, she dotted upon them and sent messages unto them in Shaldi
and to Shaldia, and the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love,
and they defiled with her, and they defiled her with their hoardem.
As she was polluted with them, and her mind was alienated from them.
So she discovered her hordems and discovered her nakedness. Then my mind was alienated
from her, like as my mind was alienated from her, sister. Excuse
me, excuse me. Yet she multiplied her hordems and calling to remembrance the
days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of
Egypt. For she dotted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh
of asses, at whose issue is like the issue of horses. Thou,
thus thou callest to rememberst the lewdness of thy youth, and bruising thy TETs
of the by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth. Therefore, oh
Haliba, thus that the Lord God behold, I will raise up thy lovers
against thee from my from whom thy mind is alienated, and I will bring
them against thee on every side, the Babylonians and the Shadeans, Pacad and
Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them, all of them desirable
young men, captains or rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them
riding upon horses. And they shall come against THEE with chariots, wagons and
wheels, and with an assembly of people, which shall set against THEE buckler
and shield and helmet round about. And I will set judgment before them,
and they shall judge THEE according to their judgments. And I will set my
jealousy against THEE, and they shall deal furiously with THEE. They shall take
away thy noise, thy thy nose, and thine ears, and thy ramnant
shall fall by the sword. They shall take thy sons and thy daughters,
and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire. They shall also strip THEE
out of thy clothes and take away thy fair jewels. Thus will I make
thy lewdness to cease from THEE, and thy hoardem brought you, and thy
hoardem brought from the land of Egypt, so that thou shalt not lift up
thy eyes into them, nor remember Egypt anymore. For thus set the Lord
God behold, I will deliver THEE into the hand of them whom thou hatest
into the hand of them, and to the hand of them from whom thy
mind is alienated. And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shalt take
away all thy labor, as shalt leave thee naked and bearer, and the
nakedness of thy hordem shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy hordems.
I will do these things into thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after
the heathen, and because thou art polluted with their idols. Thou hast walked
in the way of thy sister. Therefore will I give her cup into thine
hand. Thus set the Lord God. Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cut
deep and large. Thou shalt be laughed to scorn and and had in derision.
It containeth much. Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with
the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sisters Samaria.
Thou shalt. Thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, And thou
shalt break their shirts thereof and pluck off thy own breasts. For I have
spoken it set the Lord God. Therefore thus set the Lord God, because
thou hast forgotten me and cast me behind thy back. Therefore bear thou also
thy lewdness and thy hordems, the Lord said. Moreover, and to me,
son of man, will thou judge ahala and ahalaibah Yeah, declaring to
them that Yeah, declared unto them their abominations, that they have committed adultery
and blood us in their hands. And what their idols have they committed adultery
and all, and have also caused their sons, whom they bearn to me,
to pass for them through the fire to devour them. Moreover, this
they have done it to me. They have defiled my sanctuary in the same
day and have profaned my sabbaths. For when they has slain their children to
their idols, then came the same day until my sanctuary to profane it.
And lo thus have they done in the midst of my house. And furthermore,
that ye have sent for men to come from far unto whom a messenger
was sent, and lo they came. For when for whom thou didst wash
thyself, painted hist thy eyes and decks, and decadest thyself with ornaments and
sat ut upon a stately bed, and a table prepared before it, whereupon
thou hast set my incense and mine oil. And a voice of a multitude,
being at ease, was with her, And with the men of the
common sort, were brought sabines from the wilderness, which put bracelets upon their
hands and beautiful crowns upon their heads. Then said I to her, that
was old in adulterers old. Then I said unto her, that was old
in adulteris. Will they now commits with her, and she with them.
Yet they went into her as they go into a woman that play at the
harlot. So went they into ahalat ahlaiba, the lewd women and the righteous
men. They shall judge them after the manner of the adultresses, and after
the manner of women that shut blood, because they are adultresses, and blood
is in their hands. For thus said the Lord God, I will bring
up a company upon them, and will give them to be removed and spoiled.
And the company shall stone them with stones and dispatch them with their swords.
They shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses
with fire. Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land,
that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness, and they
shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your
idols, and ye shall know that I am the Lord God. So that's
the Book of Ezekiel, chapter twenty three reading. And the Lord has really
given it to Jerusalem in Israel and calling them sisters and and breckon out what
they did. I'm at giving it to Samaria and Jerusalem. Excuse me,
Samaria and Jerusalem. But yeah, it's basically talking about how they'd been a
horror and you know, how they'd basically been used up and by these other
nations and adulteries and aboma nations and just disrespecting God, you know. So
the Lord is going to let them have it, all right. So that
was a Book of Ezekiel, chapter twenty three reading. Let us go to
the Book of Ezekiel chapter twenty four, reading. All right, the Book
of Ezekiel, chapter twenty four. Here we go. I'll write Ezekiel twenty
four again. In the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the
tenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came up to me
saying, son of Man, write thee the name of that of the day,
even of this same day. The King of Babylon saw himself against Jerusalem
this same day, and utter a parable into the rebellious house, and saying
to them, thus sat the Lord God set on a pot. Set it
on, and also pour water into it, and gather the pieces they'reove into
it, even every good piece, every good piece, the thigh and the
shoulder. Fill it with the choice bones. Take the choice of the flock,
and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well,
and let them seethe, seethe, seitee the bones of it therein. Wherefore
thus sat the Lord God, Woe to the bloody city. To the pot
whose scum is therein e whose scum is not gone out of it, bring
it out, piece by piece, Let no lot fall upon it. For
her blood is in the midst of her She set upon the top of a
rock. She poured it upon the ground to cover it with dust, that
it might cause fairy to come up to take vengeance. I have set her
blood upon the top of a rock that should not be covered. Therefore,
thus set the Lord God woe to the bloody city. I will even make
the power for a fire, grade heap on wood, kindle the fire,
consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.
Then set it empty upon the close thereof, that the brass of it
may be hot and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be
molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed. She hath
wearied herself with lies, and her grace scum went not forth out of her.
Her scum shall be in the fire. And thy filthiness is lowdness.
Because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purshed. Thou shalt not
be purshed from thy filthiness anymore till I have caused my fear to rest upon
thee. Either Lord have spoken it, and it shall come to pass,
and I will do it. I will not go back, neither will I
spare, neither will I repent. According to thy ways, and according to
thy doings, shall they judge THEE set the Lord God also the where of
the Lord came into me, saying, son of Man, behold, I
take away from THEE the desire of thy eyes with a stroke. Yet neither
shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down. Forebear to
cry, make no mourning for the dead, buying the tire of thine head
upon thee and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy
lips, and eat not the bread of men. So I spake it to
the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died, and I
did in the morning as I was commanded, Wow. And the people said,
unto me, wilt thou not tell us what these things are? To
us that thou doest, So that I answered them, the where of the
Lord came into me, saying, speak it to the house of Israel.
That's not the Lord God. Behold, I would profane my sanctuary, the
excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your
soul put puttieth pitieth. And your sons and your daughters whom ye have left,
shall fall all by the sword. And ye shall do as I have
done. Ye shall not cover your lips nor eat the bread of men,
and your tires shall be upon your heads and your shoes upon your feet.
Ye shall not mourn nor weep, but ye shall pine away for your iniquities
and mourn one towards another. Thus, Ezekiel is unto you assign according to
all that he hath done, shall ye do? And when this cometh,
ye shall know that I am the Lord God. Also, thou, son
of man. Shall it not be in a day when I take thee from
their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes,
And that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters, that
he that escapeth in that day shall come into thee to cause THEE to hear
it with thine ears. In that day, shall thy mouth be open to
him which has escaped, and thou shalt speak and be no more dumb,
and thou shalt be assigned to them, and they shall know that I am
the Lord. As the book of Ezekiel chapter twenty four reading, all right,
And this gets crazy because in Ezekiel chapter twenty four, God is telling
talking to Ezekiel, and he's telling Ezekiel, don't mourner, don't cry when
these people die, when these people die far by the sword, and all
of a sudden, in that moment, Ezekiel's wife died. So that's kind
of crazy. How God told Ezekiel all these things of how the people gonna
be desolate and die off and get killed by the sword. And then God
even takes Ezekiel's wife. You know, that's some crazy stuff, right,
It's just like crazy how you can have a man of God and their wife
might not be as righteous as the manners. You know, that just tends
to happen sometimes, you know, it's just like dang, you know,
so that that shows that Ezekiel was on a really narrow path and he was
definitely like a loner. You know, most profits are loaners are isolated people
because a lot of times when you're doing prophetic things, you got to really
like stay to the most high like all the time. So a lot of
cases, your martial status might not be that good if you're servicing for the
Lord, because you service in the Lord, it puts so much time to
being with God. He spend it so much time with God that you might
not make time for others like that, and that offends people. That probably
pisses people off, you know, Ezekiel about I'm just assuming, but if
y'all could correct medification, it's cool. But by the looks of it,
the way God was constantly speaking to Ezekiel and take him up in the spirit
and showing him the heavens and everything. That showed to me that Ezekiel spent
a lot of time with God. And there's no way you could spend all
the time with God and please your wife at the same time. You know,
it's is no way. So to me, it seemed like Ezekiel spent
a lot of time with God and he probably didn't make no time for nobody
else. And you know, his wife probably gave him hell for that.
You know how that go. You know why he don't never do nothing for
me? Right? Wives get angry when they felt you're not getting attention or
love or whatnot. But you know, you can't put nothing and nobody above
your relationship with God. Nobody not your mom, your daddy, your wife,
your husband, your family, friend. You don't put nobody above God.
You know, Ezekiel constantly kept putting God first. That's how Ezekiel was
obedient, and he was able to keep seeing the things that God was showing
him. So anybody out there who wants to really work for the Lord,
it's a lot of time put into it. Man, It's not no on
and off thing. You gotta stay consistent. You gotta stay on fire for
the Lord. You know what I mean. It's a very narrow path,
and your closest ones may not even be able to travel with you. That's
how crazy it could get, you know what I'm saying. So it definitely
is a narrow path, man. And that's the thing. These these prophets,
they always endured so much, you know, whether it's Isaiah, Jeremiah,
Ezekiel, these men of God always endured so much. As blessed and
strong as they were, they also had to endure a lot in the process
as well. That's how it goes. God will bless you and strengthen you
and promote you and take you higher levels. But there's a lot that comes
along with it as well. You know, There's a lot of shock,
trauma, pain, hurt, letting go, releasing that comes along with it.
There's a lot of loss of family or friends along that goes along with
it. You know, all these men of God, they saw their own
fellow kinsmen, their own Israelites die many multiple ways, by their enemies or
by the Most High themselves. You gotta remember that, you know, even
most and Aaron, even Aaron saw his own kids his own children got killed
in the press of the Lord. You see how you see how intense to
walk of God can be. It's it's intense, man, it's a real
narrow path. That's why nobody wants to believe what we believe in or what
have you, because the things that come along with this, man, the
average person really can't hang. You gotta have a lot of strength in this
walk. Man. You really have to the way you the spiritual stamina,
the spiritual endurance you have to have for this. It's a lot, man,
you know. But all glory be to God, ain't man? Yes,
yo yo, So yeah, man, men and women have the most
highly deal with a lot man, And that's just how it goes, all
right, But all along, blessed, it's the person I trust in the
Lord. Oh it's not forever, all right. So that was Ezekiel,
chapter twenty four, reading. Let us go to the Book of Ezekiel chapter
twenty five. Reading right, the Book of Ezekiel, chapter twenty five,
Here we go. The way of the Lord came again unto me, saying,
son of Man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesied against
them, prophesied against them as saying to the Ammonites, hear the way of
the Lord God. That's set the Lord God. Because thou hast set aha
against my sanctuary when it was profaning, against the land of Israel when it
was desolate, and against the House of Judah when they went to captivity.
Behold, therefore, I will deliver Thee to the men of the East for
a possession. And they shall set their palaces in THEE and make their dwellings
in THEE. And they shall eat thy fruit, and I shall drink thy
milk. And I will make Rabbah Rabbi a stable for camels, and the
Ammonites a couching place for flocks. And ye shall know that I am the
Lord. For thus said the Lord God, because thou hast clapped thy hands
and stomped their feet, and rejoice in thy heart with all thy despite against
the land of Israel. Behold, therefore, I will stretch out my hand
upon THEE and deliver THEE for the sports to the heathen. And I will
cut THEE off from the people, and I will cause THEE to parish out
of the countries. I will destroy THEE, and thou shalt know that I
am the Lord thus said the Lord God, because that Moab and Seer do
say, behold, the House of Judah is like unto all the heathen.
Therefore behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from
his cities which are on this frontiers. The glory of the country Beth Jeshamath
bail me on and Korea theme to the men of the east with the Ammonites,
and will give them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered
among the nations. And I will execute judgments upon Moab, and they shall
know that I am the Lord. Thus set the Lord God, because that
Edam hath dealt against the House of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly
offended and revenged himself upon them. Therefore, thus said the Lord God,
I will also stretch up my hand upon Edom and will cut off man and
beast from it, and I will make it desolate from Taman, and they
and they of the dam shall fall by the sword, and I will I
will lay my vengeance upon Edam by the hand of my people Israel, and
they shall go and eat them. And they shall do and Eatam according to
my anger, and according to my fury, and they shall know my vengeance.
Set the Lord God. Thus set the Lord God, because the Philistines
have dealt by revenge, and have take vengeance with a despiteful heart to destroy
it for the old hatred. Therefore, thus said the Lord God. Behold,
I will stretch out my hand upon the philist teens, and I will
cut off the Cherithems, the Chairethems, and destroy the remnants of the sea
coast. And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes. And
they shall know that I am the Lord when I shall lay my vengeance upon
them. That's the Book of Ezekiel, chapter twenty five reading. It's also
summit to things that the Lord said to Isaiah and Jeremiah. When the most
high wall recompense the wicked, you know, he always bring up the Amma
Nites. The Philistines eat them, Moab, you know, the common enemies.
You know what I'm saying. So they will get theirs. Man,
They're gonna get it now. I'm telling you, we're in the last day.
So all of it's gonna come to pass. These evil nations, these
wicked rulers, they will get cast down. Man, trust the Lord gonna
pour it on them as vengeances. Wrath is nothing to be played with the
underestimated Amen. So the righteous will rejoice all right to see our enemies fall
as cosmic bound. It's beautiful, all right. So that was Ezekiel chapter
twenty five. Let us go into the Book of Ezekiel, chapter twenty six.
All right, the Book of Ezekiel. The Book of Ezekiel, chapter
twenty six. Here we go. And it came to pass in the eleventh
year, in the first day of the month, that the wherever the Lord
came unto me, saying, son of Man, because that Tyres has because
that Tyris hath set against Jerusalem. How she is born broken. That was
the gates of the people. She has turned into the unto me. I
shall replenish. Now she has laid waste. Therefore, thus let the Lord
God behold, I am against thee oh Tyris, and will cause many nations
to come up against thee as the sea cause it his waves to come up,
and they shall destroy the walls of Tyros and break down her towers.
I will also scrape her dust from her and make her like the top of
a rock. It shall be a place for the spreading of the nets,
the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea. For I have spoken
it set the Lord God, and it shall become a spoil to the nations.
At her daughters which are in the field, shall be slain by the
sword, and they shall know that I am the Lord. For thus let
the Lord God behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebusha Dresser, King of
Babylon, a king of kings from the north, with horses and with chariots,
and with horsemen and companies and much people. He shall slay with the
sword thy daughters in the field. And he shall make afford against thee,
and cast them mount against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee.
And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with axes he
shall break down thy towers. By a reason of the abundance of his horses.
There dust shall cover thee. Thy walls shall shake at that noise of
the horsemen and of the wheels, and of the chariots. When he shall
intent to thy gates, as men intent to a city wherein is made a
breach, with the hoofs of his horses, shall he tread down all thy
streets. He shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrison
shall go down to the ground. And they shall make a spoil of thy
riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise. And they shall break down
thy walls, and break down and destroy thy pleasant houses. And they shall
lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water.
And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease, and the
sound of thy harp shall be no more heard. And I will make thee
like the top of a rock. Thou shalt be a place to spread his
nets upon thou shalt be built no more. For I, the Lord have
spoken It set the Lord God. Thus set the Lord God. The tyres
shall not the aisles shake out the sound of thy fall, when the wounded
to cry. When the slaughter is made in the midst of thee, Then
all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones and lay away
their robes, and put off their broidered arments. They shall clothe them.
They shall clothe themselves with trembling. They shall sit upon the ground and shall
tremble at every moment, and be astonished at thee and they shall take up
a limitation for thee, and say to THEE, how art thou destroyed that
was inhabited of sea faring seafaring men, the renowned city which was strong in
the sea, she and her inhabitants which caused her, which caused their chart
to be on all that haunted. Now shall the aisles tremble in the day
of thy fall. Yeah, the aisles that are in the sea shall be
troubled at thy departure. For thus set the Lord God. When I shall
make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited. When
I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great water shall cover thee.
When I shall bring thee down with them that descended to the pit with
the people of old time, and shall set in the low parts of the
earth and places desolate of old with them that go down to the pit,
that thou will be not inhabited at. I shall set glory in the land
of the living. I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be
no more, though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found
again? Set the Lord of God. That's the book of Ezekiel, Chapter
twenty six, reading all right, Ezekiel, chapter twenty six. So the
Lord ain't playing with these other nations, all right, Tyrius, They're gonna
get it to the Lord. Ain't leaven nobody out of his all gonna get
it out right. So that's the Book of Ezekiel, chapter twenty six.
Reading. Let's go into the Book of Ezekiel chapter twenty seven, reading out
right the Book of Ezekiel, chapter twenty seven. Here we go, Ezekiel,
chapter twenty seven. The word of the Lord came again unto me,
saying, now, thy son of Man, take up a limitation for Tyrists,
and say into Tiris, Oh thou thou art situate at the entry of
the sea, which art a merchant of the people for many isles. Thus
said the Lord God o Tirists, thou hast said, I am of perfect
beauty. Thy borders are in the midst of the seas. Thy builders have
perfected thy beauty. They have made all thy ship boards of fir trees of
snur. They have taken cedars from Lebanon to make mass of mass for thee
of the oaks of Bashan. Have they made thine oars. The company of
the Ashterites have made thy benches of ivory, brought out of the isles of
Shatim, fine linen with broidered work. From Egypt was that which thou spreadest
forth to be thy sale, blew and purple. From the isles of Ilusha
Elisha Ilusha was that which covered thee. The inhabitants of Zadan and are Vad
Arvad, where they were thy mariners, thy wise men o Tyrus that were
in thee were thy pilots. The ancients of Gabal and the wise men thereof
were in thee. The thy caulkers. All the ships of the sea,
with their mariners were in thee to occupy thy merchandise. They of Persia,
and of Luod and of foot were in thine army, thy men of war.
They hanged a shield and helmet indy they set forth thy comeliness. The
men of Arvad, with thine army were upon thy walls round about, And
the Gammadems the Gamadems where in thy towers. They hanged their shields upon thy
walls round about. They have made thy beauty perfect. Tarshish was thy merchant
by reason of the multitude of all kinds of riches with the silver, iron,
tin lead. They traded in thy fares. Javan, Tibal and Meshesh.
They were thy merchants. They traded the persons of men and vessels of
brass in thy market. They of the house of Tagarma traded in thy fares
with horses and horsemen and mules. The men of Dadan where thy merchants.
Many aisles were the merchandise of thine hand. They brought thee four present horns
of ivory and ebony. Syria was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of
the wares of thy making. They occupied in thy fairs with emeralds, purple
and broidered work, and find linen and coral, and a gate. Judah
and the land of Israel. They were thy merchants. They traded in thy
market wheat of manith and pannag and honey and oil and bomb. Damascus was
thy merchant in the multitive of the wares of thy making, for the mostitie
of all riches, in the wine of helbon, of helbon and white wool.
Dan also and Java are going to and fro occupied in thy fares bright
iron, Kasha and Calamus were in thy market. That Don was thy merchant
and precious clothes for chariots. Arabia and all the princes of Kadur. They
occupied with thee in lambs and rams and goats. In these were they thy
merchants. The merchants of Sheba and Raima, they were thy merchants. They
occupied in their affairs with chief of all spices, and with all precious stones
and gold, haran and cannae and eden. The merchants of Sheba, Asher
and Shamad were thy merchants. These were thy merchants, and all sorts of
things in blue clothes and broidered work, and in chests of rich apparel bound
with cords and made of cedar, among thy merchandise. The ships of Tarshas
did sing of THEE in thy market, and thou was replenished and made very
glorious. In the midst of the seas, thy warriers rowers have brought THEE
into the great into great waters. The east wind hath broken THEE. In
the midst of the seas, thy riches and thy fairs, thy merchandise,
thy mariners, and thy pilots that calchers, and the occupiers of thy merchandise,
and all thy men of war that are in thee, and in all
thy company which is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the midst
of the seas. In the day of thy ruin, the suburbs shall shake
at the sound of the cry of thy pilots, and all that handle the
ore, the mariners and all the pilots of the sea shall come down from
their ships. They shall stand upon the land, as shall cause their voice
to be heard against thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up
dust upon their heads. They shall wallowed themselves in the ashes, and they
shall make themselves utterly bald for THEE, and gird them with thydecloth. And
they shall weep for THEE, with bitterness of heart and bitter will. And
in their wailing they shall take up limitation for thee, and lament over these
sand. What city is like tyrists, like the destroyed in the midst of
the seat? When thy wearers went forth out of the seas, Thou fillest
them many people, filledest many people, filledest many people. Thou didst enrich
the kings of the earth with the multiple of thy richest and of thy merchandise.
And at the time when thou shalt be broken by the seas, and
the depths of water, thy merchandise and all that company in the midst of
it shall fall, and all the inhabitants of the isle shall be astonished at
thee, and their kings shall be sore afraid, they shall be troubled in
their countenance. The merchants, also, the merchants among the people shall hiss
at thee. Thou shalt be a terror and never shall be anymore. Wow,
that's the Book of Ezekiel, chapter twenty seven reading. So God is
really going in on these people. Man, He's really going in on Tyris.
And he noticed it, says in Ezekiel twenty seven talks about merchandise and
merchants of the sea. That's talking about the supplant the supply chain management,
like all those porters and ships and everything that's transferred through water and the seas.
And you know, like how in different countries when they do deals right,
they transfer guns, drugs, all that traffic and stuff. God is
gonna cut all that down. Ezeka twenty seven propheties about that all these nations
with all these resources that sends all these ports of drugs and guns and merchandise.
The Lord's gonna put an end to it. Yes, he will see.
You saw how Covid kind of shook up the supply chain with this one.
They're gonna be no Covid. The Lord going really really handed on this
one. All right. So that was a Book of Ezekiel, chapter twenty
seven. Now we were going to the Book of Ezekiel chapter twenty eight.
All right, the Book of Ezekiel chapter twenty eight. Here we go the
wherever the Lord came again into me, saying, son of Man, saying
to the Prince of Tyrosts, dost set the Lord God, because thy heart
is lifted up. And thou hast said, I am a God. I
sit in the seat of a God in the midst of the seas. Yet
thou art a man and not a God. Thou, though thou set thy
heart as the heart of the God, as the heart of God. Behold
thou art wiser than Daniel. There is no secret that they can hide from
THEE home. Or read, let me read that. Behold thou art wiser
than Daniel. There is no secret that they can hide from THEE. With
thy wisdom and with thy understanding, thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast
gotten gold and silver into thy treasures by thy great wisdom. And by that
traffic hast thou increased thy riches, And thy heart is lifted up because of
thy riches. Therefore, thus said the Lord God, because thou hast set
thy heart as the heart of God, behold, Therefore I would brings ages
upon THEE, the terrible of the nations. And they shall draw their swords
against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shalt devout, they should defile
thy brightness. They shall bring THEE down to the pit, and thou shalt
die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.
Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth Thee. I am a God.
I am God. But thou shalt be a man and no God. In
the hand of him that slayeth Thee, thou shalt die the deaths of the
uncircumcised by the hand of strangers. For I have spoken, is saith the
Lord God. Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
son of Man, take up a lamentation upon the King of Tyrus,
as saying to him, thus saith the Lord God, Thou sealest up the
sum full of wisdom and perfect and beauty. Thou hast been an Eden,
the garden of God. Every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius to
pass, and the diamond and the barrel, the nuns and the jasper,
the superior, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold. The workmanship
of thy taberts and of the pipe of thy pipes was prepared in THEE.
In the day that thou was created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth
and I have set thee so thou was upon thy holy mountain of God.
Thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Thou wast perfect in thy ways, from the day that thou was created,
till iniquity was found in THEE by the multitude of thy merchandise. They had
filled the midst of THEE with violence, and thou hast sinned. Therefore,
I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God, and I
will destroy thee a covering cherub from the midst of the stones of fire.
Thy heart was lifted up. Because of thy beauty, Thou hast corrupted thy
wisdom by reason of thy brightness. I will cast THEE down to the I
will cast THEE to the ground. I will lay THEE before kings, that
they may behold THEE. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multiple of thy
iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic. Therefore will I bring forth a
fire from the midst of THEE. It shall devour THEE, and I will
bring THEE to ashes upon the earth, and the sight of all them that
behold THEE, and they and all they that know THEE among the people shall
be astonished at THEE. Thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou
be anymore again. The whereof the Lord came into me saying, son of
Man, set thy face against a dawn, and prophesy against it, and
say, thus sat the Lord God, behold, I am against THEE,
oh Zadawn. And I will be glorified in the midst of THEE. And
they shall know that I am the Lord. When I have executed judgments for
her, and shall I say and shall be sanctified in her, I will
send into her pestilence and blood of to her streets, and the wounded shall
be judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side,
and they shall know that I am the Lord. And there shall be
no more pricking brier briar unto the House of Israel, nor any grieving thorn
of all that are around about them that despised them. And they shall know
that I am the Lord God. Thus said the Lord God. When I
shall have gathered the House of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered,
and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, and
then and then shall they dwelt in their land that I've given to my servant
Jacob, And they shall dwell safely. They're safely they're in, and shall
build houses and plant vineyards. Yeah, they shall dwell with confidence when I
have executed judgments upon them, all those that despise them around about them,
and they shall know that I am the Lord their God. It's the Book
of Ezekiel, chapter twenty eight reading. Man, man, man, that's
heavy right there, right. So that's the Book of Ezekiel, chapter twenty
eight reading, and that kind of went in basically discussing Satan, because Satan
is mentioned, of course throughout the scriptures old in the Testament. But Isaiah
chapter fourteen, verse twelve at an Ezekiel chapter twenty eight, verse sixteen describes
it describes him. You see how he was made a cherub. He was
a cherub, a cherub, and then he was cast down with pride and
what have you. And you read it there in Ezekiel twenty eighth it goes
in more detail about it. So the Lord is in control and from beginning
to end. Amen, Yes, yes, so very interesting to read.
Right there, Ezekiel was seeing all types of things. Mansel I was very
powerful and prophetic of him. Right, So that was Ezekiel twenty eight.
Now we were going to the Book of Ezekiel chapter twenty nine. All right,
the Book of Ezekiel, chapter twenty nine. Here we go in the
tenth year, in the tenth month, and the twelfth day of the month,
the word of the Lord came into me, saying, son of Man,
set that face against Pharaoh, King of Egypt. At prophesied against to
him and against all Egypt. Speak and say, thus sat the Lord of
God, the Lord God, behold, I am against thee Pharaoh, King
of Egypt, the great dragon that illeth that lie in the midst of his
rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have
made it for myself. I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I
will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales. And I
will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the
fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales. And I will leave thee
thrown into the wilderness. Thee and all the fish of thy rivers, Thou
shalt fall upon the open fields. Thou shalt not be brought together nor gathered.
I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the field and to
the fowls of the heaven. And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that
I am the Lord, because they have been a staff of reed to the
House of Israel. When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou
didst break and rent all their show. And when they leaned upon thee,
thou breakest and madest all their loins to be out of stand. Therefore,
thus let the Lord God behold, I will bring a sword upon thee and
cut off man and beast out of thee, and the land of Egypt shat
be desolate and waste, and they shall know that I am the Lord,
because he hath said, the river is mine, and I have made it
behold. Therefore I am against thee and against thy rivers. And I will
make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate. From the tower of Serene
of Syene, even into the border of Ethiopia. No foot of man Shaw
passed through it, nor foot of bee Shah passed through it. Neither shall
it be inhabited. Forty years, and I will make the land of Egypt
desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among
the cities that are laid waste, shall be desolate forty years. And I
will scatter the Egyptians among the nations that will disperse them through the countries.
Yet thus set the Lord God. At the end of forty years, will
I gather the Egyptians from the people, whether they were scattered, And I
will gather them, and I will bring them, and I will bring them,
and I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them
to return it to the land of Pathros and to the land of their habitation,
and they shall be there a base kingdom. It shall be the basis
of the kingdoms. Neither shall exalt itself anymore above the nations, for I
will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations. And
it shall be no more of the conference of the House of Israel, which
bringeth their iniquity to remembrance. When they shall look after them, but they
shall know that I am the Lord God. And they came to pass in
the seventh and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day
of the month, the whereof the Lord came into me, saying, son
of Man Nebusha Dresser. Nebusha Dresser, King of Babylon, caused his army
to serve at great service against Tyrus. Every head was made bald, and
every shoulder was peeled. Yet hadn't had he no wages nor his army for
Tyrus for the service that he had served against it. Therefore, thus let
the Lord God behold, I will give the land of Egypt into Nebusha Dresser,
King of Babylon, and he shall take her multitude, and take her
spoil, and take her prey. And it shall be the wages of his
arm for his army. I have given him the land of Egypt for his
labor, wherewith he served against it, because they route for me. Set
the Lord God. And that day will I caused the horn of the House
of Israel to build. But forth, and I will give thee the opening
of the mouth in the midst of them, and they shall know that I
am the Lord. Yes, yes, y'all. That is the Book of
Ezekiel, chapter twenty nine reading, Yes, sir, so that you have
