A Hard Word
This was a hard thing to hear and also speak ,I cannot even think what Ezekiel was going trough upon hearing this word yet He chose to still walk in obedience so that Israel would hopefully turn and repent (which they did do eventually )
Ezekiel 24:15–27Complete Jewish Bible
The word of ADONAI came to me: “Human being, with a single blow I am about to deprive you of the delight of your eyes. But you are not to lament, weep or let your tears run down. Sigh silently, don’t observe mourning for the dead, bind your turban on your head, put your sandals on your feet, don’t cover your upper lip, and don’t eat the food people prepare for mourners.” I spoke to the people in the morning, and that evening my wife died. So I did the following morning as I had been ordered.
- Yet its still shows how much GOD loves us and will do whatever is needed to reach us
- Make sure you are reading and interpreting the Old Testament through Jesus and New Covenant eyes. Yes God does not change BUT His covenants did.
- Amen
