00:15 Hello and welcome to "His Words are Life."
00:17 I'm Kelly Mowrer and today we'll continue 00:19 reading together from the Book of Ezekiel. 00:22 But first let's pray together. 00:24 Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your word 00:28 that we can come apart and be fed by now. 00:31 Please send Your Holy Spirit to open our hearts 00:34 and to plant these seeds of the truths 00:38 that we'll hear during this time, 00:40 so that they will bear much fruit to Your glory. 00:42 We love You so much and thank You 00:43 for loving us, amen. 00:46 We're picking up in Ezekiel Chapter 23, 00:50 starting with verse 28 00:52 and this is the King James Version. 00:54 "For thus saith the Lord God, behold, 00:57 I will deliver thee into the hand of them 01:00 whom thou hatest, into the hand of them 01:03 from whom thy mind is alienated. 01:07 And they shall deal with thee hatefully, 01:09 and shall take away all thy labor, 01:11 and shall leave thee naked and bare, 01:14 and the nakedness of thy whoredoms 01:16 shall be discovered, 01:18 both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms. 01:20 I will do these things unto thee, 01:22 because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, 01:26 and because thou art polluted with their idols. 01:29 Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister, 01:32 therefore will I give her cup into thine hand. 01:37 Thus saith the Lord God, 01:38 Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup 01:41 deep and large, 01:43 thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision, 01:47 it containeth much. 01:49 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, 01:52 with the cup of astonishment and desolation, 01:56 with the cup of thy sister Samaria. 01:59 Thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, 02:02 and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, 02:04 and pluck off thine own breasts, 02:05 for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. 02:09 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, 02:11 because thou hast forgotten me, 02:14 and cast me behind thy back, 02:18 therefore bear thou also thy lewdness 02:21 and thy whoredoms. 02:23 The Lord said moreover unto me, son of man, 02:27 wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? 02:31 Yea, declare unto them their abominations. 02:33 That they have committed adultery, 02:35 and blood is in their hands, 02:37 and with their idols have they committed adultery, 02:39 and have also caused their sons, 02:42 whom they bare unto me, 02:43 to pass for them through the fire, 02:46 to devour them. 02:48 Moreover this they have done unto me, 02:51 they have defiled my sanctuary 02:54 in the same day, and have profaned my Sabbaths. 02:58 For when they had slain their children 03:01 to their idols, then they came the same day 03:04 into my sanctuary to profane it, 03:07 and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house. 03:12 And furthermore, that ye have sent for men 03:15 to come from far, unto whom a messenger was sent, 03:20 and, lo, they came, for whom thou didst wash thyself, 03:26 paintedst thy eyes, 03:27 and deckedst thyself with ornaments. 03:29 And satest upon a stately bed, 03:33 and a table prepared before it, 03:35 whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil. 03:39 And a voice of a multitude being at ease 03:42 was with her, and with the men 03:44 of the common sort were brought Sabeans 03:48 from the wilderness, 03:49 which put bracelets upon their hands, 03:51 and beautiful crowns upon their heads. 03:53 Then said I unto her that was old in adulteries, 03:58 Will they now commit whoredoms with her, 04:00 and she with them? 04:03 Yet they went in unto her, 04:05 as they go in unto a woman that playeth the harlot, 04:08 so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, 04:13 the lewd women. 04:15 And the righteous men, they shall judge them 04:18 after the manner of adulteresses, 04:20 and after the manner of women that shed blood, 04:23 because they are adulteresses, 04:25 and blood is in their hands. 04:28 For thus saith the Lord God, 04:30 I will bring up a company upon them, 04:33 and will give them to be removed and spoiled. 04:37 And the company shall stone them with stones, 04:39 and dispatch them with their swords, 04:42 they shall slay their sons and their daughters, 04:44 and burn up their houses with fire. 04:47 Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, 04:50 that all women may be taught 04:52 not to do after your lewdness. 04:55 And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, 04:57 and ye shall bear the sins of your idols, 05:00 and ye shall know that I am the Lord God." 05:05 Continuing in the Book of Ezekiel Chapter 24, 05:09 and this is the King James Version. 05:12 "Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, 05:15 in the tenth day of the month, 05:17 the word of the Lord came unto me, saying. 05:20 Son of man, write thee the name of the day, 05:23 even of this same day, 05:25 the king of Babylon set himself 05:27 against Jerusalem this same day. 05:31 And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, 05:33 and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God, 05:36 Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it, 05:41 gather the pieces thereof into it, 05:43 even every good piece, 05:45 the thigh, and the shoulder, fill it with the choice bones. 05:49 Take the choice of the flock, 05:50 and burn also the bones under it, 05:52 and make it boil well, and let them seethe 05:55 the bones of it therein. 05:59 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God, 06:01 woe to the bloody city, 06:04 to the pot whose scum is therein, 06:07 and whose scum is not gone out of it. 06:09 Bring it out piece by piece, let no lot fall upon it. 06:14 For her blood is in the midst of her, 06:17 she set it upon the top of a rock, 06:19 she poured it not upon the ground, 06:21 to cover it with dust. 06:22 That it might cause fury to come up 06:24 to take vengeance, I have set her blood 06:26 upon the top of a rock, 06:27 that it should not be covered. 06:30 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, 06:31 Woe to the bloody city. 06:34 I will even make the pile for fire great. 06:37 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, 06:39 consume the flesh, and spice it well, 06:41 and let the bones be burned. 06:44 Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, 06:47 that the brass of it may be hot, 06:49 and may burn, and that the filthiness of it 06:52 may be molten in it, 06:54 that the scum of it may be consumed. 06:57 She hath wearied herself with lies, 07:00 and her great scum went not forth out of her, 07:02 her scum shall be in the fire. 07:06 In thy filthiness is lewdness, 07:08 because I have purged thee, 07:10 and thou wast not purged, 07:12 thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, 07:15 till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee. 07:19 I the Lord have spoken it, it shall come to pass, 07:23 and I will do it, I will not go back, 07:26 neither will I spare, neither will I repent, 07:30 according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, 07:34 shall they judge thee, saith the Lord God. 07:37 Also the word of the Lord came unto me, saying. 07:40 Son of man, behold, I take away from thee 07:45 the desire of thine eyes with a stroke, 07:48 yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, 07:51 neither shall thy tears run down. 07:53 Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, 07:56 bind the tire of thine head upon thee, 07:59 and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, 08:01 and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men. 08:05 So I spake unto the people in the morning, 08:07 and at even my wife died, 08:10 and I did in the morning as I was commanded. 08:13 And the people said unto me, 08:15 Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, 08:18 that thou doest so? 08:21 Then I answered them, 08:23 the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 08:25 speak unto the house of Israel, 08:26 Thus saith the Lord God, 08:29 behold, I will profane my sanctuary, 08:32 the Excellency of your strength, 08:34 the desire of your eyes, 08:35 and that which your soul pitieth, 08:38 and your sons and your daughters 08:40 whom ye have left shall fall by the sword. 08:43 And ye shall do as I have done, 08:45 ye shall not cover your lips, 08:46 nor eat the bread of men. 08:48 And your tires shall be upon your heads, 08:50 and your shoes upon your feet, 08:53 ye shall not mourn nor weep, 08:55 but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, 08:59 and mourn one toward another. 09:02 Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign, 09:06 according to all that he hath done 09:09 shall ye do, and when this cometh, 09:12 ye shall know that I am the Lord God. 09:16 Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day 09:19 when I take from them their strength, 09:22 the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, 09:26 and that whereupon they set their minds, 09:28 their sons and their daughters. 09:30 That he that escapeth in that day 09:31 shall come unto thee, 09:33 to cause thee to hear it with thine ears? 09:36 In that day shall thy mouth be opened 09:38 to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, 09:41 and be no more dumb, 09:43 and thou shalt be a sign unto them, 09:45 and they shall know that I am the Lord." 09:50 Continuing to read Ezekiel Chapter 25 09:53 and this is the King James Version. 09:56 "The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying. 10:00 Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, 10:02 and prophesy against them. 10:04 And say unto the Ammonites, 10:06 Hear the word of the Lord God, 10:09 thus saith the Lord God, because thou saidst, 10:12 Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned, 10:16 and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate, 10:19 and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity. 10:24 Behold, therefore I will deliver thee 10:28 to the men of the east for a possession, 10:31 and they shall set their palaces in thee, 10:33 and make their dwellings in thee, 10:35 they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk. 10:39 And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, 10:42 and the Ammonites a couching place for flocks, 10:46 and ye shall know that I am the Lord. 10:50 For thus saith the Lord God, 10:52 because thou hast clapped thine hands, 10:54 and stamped with the feet, 10:56 and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite 11:00 against the land of Israel. 11:03 Behold, therefore I will stretch out 11:04 mine hand upon thee, 11:07 and will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen, 11:09 and I will cut thee off from the people, 11:11 and I will cause thee to perish 11:12 out of the countries, 11:14 I will destroy thee, and thou shalt know 11:17 that I am the Lord. 11:19 Thus saith the Lord God, 11:21 because that Moab and Seir do say, behold, 11:26 the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen. 11:30 Therefore, behold, 11:32 I will open the side of Moab from the cities, 11:35 from his cities which are on his frontiers, 11:38 the glory of the country, 11:40 Bethjeshimoth, Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim. 11:45 Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, 11:47 and will give them in possession, 11:49 that the Ammonites may not be remembered 11:51 among the nations. 11:52 And I will execute judgments upon Moab, 11:55 and they shall know that I am the Lord. 11:59 Thus saith the Lord God, 12:01 because that Edom hath dealt 12:04 against the house of Judah 12:06 by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, 12:09 and revenged himself upon them. 12:13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, 12:16 I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, 12:19 and will cut off man and beast from it, 12:23 and I will make it desolate from Teman, 12:25 and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword. 12:28 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom 12:31 by the hand of my people Israel, 12:34 and they shall do in Edom 12:35 according to mine anger and according to my fury, 12:38 and they shall know my vengeance, 12:39 saith the Lord God. 12:42 Thus saith the Lord God, 12:43 because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, 12:46 and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, 12:49 to destroy it for the old hatred. 12:51 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, behold, 12:53 I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, 12:56 and I will cut off the Cherethims, 12:58 and will destroy the remnant of the sea coast. 13:02 And I will execute great vengeance upon them 13:04 with furious rebukes, and they shall know 13:08 that I am the Lord, 13:09 when I shall lay my vengeance upon them." 13:13 Continuing in Ezekiel Chapter 26 13:16 and this is the King James Version. 13:19 "And it came to pass in the eleventh year, 13:21 in the first day of the month, 13:22 that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying. 13:26 Son of man, because that Tyrus 13:30 hath said against Jerusalem, 13:32 Aha, she is broken 13:34 that was the gates of the people, 13:36 she is turned unto me, 13:38 I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste. 13:43 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, behold, 13:46 I am against thee, O Tyrus, 13:48 and will cause many nations to come up against thee, 13:51 as the sea causeth his waves to come up. 13:54 And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, 13:56 and break down her towers, 13:58 I will also scrape her dust from her, 14:00 and make her like the top of a rock. 14:03 It shall be a place for the spreading of nets 14:05 in the midst of the sea, 14:07 for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God, 14:09 and it shall become a spoil to the nations. 14:12 And her daughters which are in the field 14:14 shall be slain by the sword, 14:16 and they shall know that I am the Lord. 14:20 For thus saith the Lord God, 14:21 Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar 14:25 king of Babylon, a king of kings, 14:27 from the north, with horses, 14:29 and with chariots, and with horsemen, 14:31 and companies, and much people." 14:35 Please join me again next time 14:36 to read the word of God together, goodbye. |
