Ezekiel 11
Book of Ezekiel
Judgments, I will deliver you INTO the hands of strangers = All the
house of Israel wholly = The Book of Joel
Ezekiel 11:1 Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the
east gate of the Lord's house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the
door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son
of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, the princes of the people.
2 Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that
devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:
3 Which say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the
caldron, and we be the flesh.
4 Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of
man.
5 And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak; Thus
saith the Lord; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the
things that come into your mind, every one of them.
-
The Lord knows what's on your mind
6 Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled
the streets thereof with the slain.
7 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.
8 Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you,
saith the Lord God.
9 And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into
the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
-
The Lord said, I will deliver you INTO the hands
of strangers
10 Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the
border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
11 This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in
the midst thereof; but I will judge you in the border of Israel:
12 And ye shall know that I am the Lord: for ye have not walked
in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done
after the manners of the heathen that are round about you.
-
You have done the manners of the heathen,
Ye have not walked in My statutes
13 And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of
Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud
voice, and said, Ah Lord God! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant
of Israel?
-
Lord God! wilt thou make a full end of the
remnant of Israel?
14 Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
15 Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred,
and all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto whom
the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the Lord: unto
us is this land given in possession.
16 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; Although I have cast them far
off 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.
17 Therefore say, Thus saith 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.
-
I will even gather you from the people
18 And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the
detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
-
God's Elect won't have anything to do with
unclean things
19 And I will give them one heart, and
I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out
of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
20 That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine
ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people,
and I will be their God.
-
God's Elect are doers, they try to do what's
right
21 But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their
detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way
upon their own heads, saith the Lord God.
-
Don't go outside God's Way
-
God loves His Children, but He Does NOT like for
you to mislead His people
22 Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and the wheels beside
them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
23 And the glory of the Lord went up from the midst of the city, and
stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
-
East = Mount of Olive
-
Christ will return on the Mount of Olive
24 Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision
by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So
the vision that I had seen went up from me.
25 Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that the Lord
had shewed me.
