00:14 Hello and welcome to "His Words are Life."
00:17 I'm Kelly Mowrer and today we'll be reading 00:19 together from the Book of Ezekiel, 00:21 but let's pray first. 00:24 Dear Heavenly Father, 00:26 thank You for this opportunity to sit in Your presence 00:29 and to hear Your words. 00:31 Please speak to us that these words 00:33 may make a change in us that enables us 00:36 to be more useful to You 00:39 and to be a fruit to Your glory. 00:41 We love You so much and thank You for loving us. Amen. 00:45 Reading in Ezekiel Chapter 39 starting with verse 15 00:49 and this is the King James Version. 00:53 "And the passengers that pass through the land, 00:56 when any seeth a man's bone, 00:58 then shall he set up a sign by it, 01:00 till the buriers have buried it 01:02 in the valley of Hamongog. 01:04 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. 01:08 Thus shall they cleanse the land. 01:11 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God, 01:14 Speak unto every feathered fowl, 01:17 and to every beast of the field, 01:19 Assemble yourselves, and come, 01:22 gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice 01:25 and I do sacrifice for you, 01:27 even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, 01:30 that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood. 01:32 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, 01:34 and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, 01:36 of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, 01:40 all of them fatlings of Bashan. 01:43 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, 01:45 and drink blood till ye be drunken, 01:47 of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. 01:51 Thus ye shall be filled at my table 01:54 with horses and chariots, with mighty men, 01:56 and with all men of war, saith the Lord God. 02:00 And I will set my glory among the heathen, 02:03 and all the heathen shall see my judgment 02:06 that I have executed, and my hand 02:09 that I have laid upon them. 02:11 So the house of Israel shall know 02:13 that I am the Lord their God from that day and forward. 02:19 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel 02:22 went into captivity for their iniquity, 02:25 because they trespassed against me, 02:27 therefore hid I my face from them, 02:29 and gave them into the hand of their enemies, 02:32 so fell they all by the sword. 02:35 According to their uncleanness 02:37 and according to their transgressions 02:40 have I done unto them, and hid my face from them. 02:44 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, 02:46 Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, 02:50 and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, 02:55 and will be jealous for my holy name, 02:58 After that they have borne their shame, 03:01 and all their trespasses whereby 03:03 they have trespassed against me, 03:05 when they dwelt safely in their land, 03:07 and none made them afraid. 03:09 When I have brought them again from the people, 03:11 and gathered them out of their enemie's lands, 03:14 and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations, 03:18 Then shall they know that I am the Lord their God, 03:22 which caused them to be led 03:23 into captivity among the heathen, 03:26 but I have gathered them unto their own land, 03:29 and have left none of them any more there. 03:33 Neither will I hide my face any more from them, 03:37 for I have poured out my spirit upon 03:39 the house of Israel, saith the Lord God." 03:43 Continuing Ezekiel, Chapter 40 03:45 and this is the King James Version. 03:48 "In the fifth and twentieth year of our captivity, 03:51 in the beginning of the year, 03:53 in the tenth day of the month, 03:55 in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, 03:59 in the selfsame day the hand of the Lord was upon me, 04:02 and brought me thither. 04:04 In the visions of God brought 04:07 he me into the land of Israel, 04:09 and set me upon a very high mountain, 04:12 by which was as the frame of a city on the south. 04:16 And he brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, 04:19 whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, 04:22 with a line of flax in his hand, 04:24 and a measuring reed, and he stood in the gate. 04:28 And the man said unto me, 04:30 Son of man, behold with thine eyes, 04:33 and hear with thine ears, 04:34 and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee, 04:38 for to the intent that I might shew them 04:41 unto thee art thou brought hither, 04:44 declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel. 04:48 And behold a wall on the outside 04:51 of the house round about, 04:53 and in the man's hand a measuring 04:55 reed of six cubits long by the cubit 04:58 and an hand breadth, 05:00 so he measured the breadth of the building, 05:03 one reed, and the height, one reed. 05:07 Then came he unto the gate which looketh 05:10 toward the east, and went up the stairs thereof, 05:12 and measured the threshold of the gate, 05:14 which was one reed broad, 05:17 and the other threshold of the gate, 05:18 which was one reed broad. 05:21 And every little chamber was one reed long, 05:24 and one reed broad, 05:27 and between the little chambers were five cubits, 05:31 and the threshold of the gate 05:33 by the porch of the gate within was one reed. 05:37 He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed, 05:41 Then measured he the porch of the gate, 05:44 eight cubits, and the posts thereof, 05:47 two cubits, and the porch of the gate was inward. 05:51 And the little chambers of the gate 05:53 eastward were three on this side, 05:55 and three on that side, 05:57 they three were of one measure, 06:00 and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side. 06:04 And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, 06:06 ten cubits, and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits. 06:10 The space also before the little chambers 06:12 was one cubit on this side, 06:14 and the space was one cubit on that side, 06:16 and the little chambers were six cubits on this side, 06:20 and six cubits on that side. 06:23 He measured then the gate 06:24 from the roof of one little chamber 06:26 to the roof of another, 06:27 the breadth was five and twenty cubits, 06:30 door against door. 06:31 He made also posts of threescore cubits, 06:34 even unto the post of the court round about the gate. 06:37 And from the face of the gate of the entrance 06:39 unto the face of the porch 06:40 of the inner gate were fifty cubits. 06:43 And there were narrow windows to the little chambers, 06:46 and to their posts within the gate round about, 06:48 and likewise to the arches, 06:50 and windows were round about inward, 06:52 and upon each post were palm trees. 06:56 Then brought he me into the outward court, 06:59 and, lo, there were chambers, 07:01 and a pavement made for the court round about, 07:05 thirty chambers were upon the pavement. 07:08 And the pavement by the side of the gates 07:10 over against the length of the gates 07:12 was the lower pavement. 07:14 Then he measured the breadth 07:15 from the forefront of the lower gate 07:18 unto the forefront of the inner court without, 07:20 an hundred cubits eastward and northward. 07:24 And the gate of the outward court 07:26 that looked toward the north, 07:27 he measured the length thereof, 07:29 and the breadth thereof. 07:30 And the little chambers thereof 07:31 were three on this side and three on that side, 07:34 and the posts thereof and the arches 07:36 thereof were after the measure of the first gate, 07:39 the length thereof was fifty cubits, 07:40 and the breadth five and twenty cubits. 07:42 And their windows, and their arches, 07:44 and their palm trees, 07:46 were after the measure of the gate 07:47 that looketh toward the east, 07:49 and they went up unto it by seven steps, 07:52 and the arches thereof were before them. 07:54 And the gate of the inner court 07:56 was over against the gate toward the north, 07:57 and toward the east, and he measured 07:59 from gate to gate an hundred cubits. 08:02 After that he brought me toward the south, 08:05 and behold a gate toward the south, 08:08 and he measured the posts thereof and the arches 08:10 thereof according to these measures. 08:12 And there were windows in it 08:13 and in the arches thereof round about, 08:15 like those windows, the length was fifty cubits, 08:18 and the breadth five and twenty cubits. 08:20 And there were seven steps to go up to it, 08:21 and the arches thereof were before them, 08:23 and it had palm trees, one on this side, 08:25 and another on that side, upon the posts thereof. 08:29 And there was a gate in the inner court 08:31 toward the south, and he measured 08:32 from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits. 08:36 And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate, 08:38 and he measured the south gate 08:40 according to these measures. 08:42 And the little chambers thereof, 08:43 and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, 08:46 according to these measures, 08:47 and there were windows in it 08:48 and in the arches thereof round about, 08:51 it was fifty cubits long, 08:53 and five and twenty cubits broad. 08:56 And the arches round about 08:57 were five and twenty cubits long, 09:00 and five cubits broad. 09:02 And the arches thereof were toward the utter court, 09:05 and palm trees were upon the posts thereof, 09:09 and the going up to it had eight steps. 09:13 And he brought me into the inner court 09:14 toward the east, and he measured 09:16 the gate according to these measures. 09:17 And the little chambers thereof, 09:19 and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, 09:22 were according to these measures, 09:23 and there were windows therein 09:25 and in the arches thereof round about, 09:27 it was fifty cubits long, 09:29 and five and twenty cubits broad. 09:32 And the arches thereof were toward the outward court, 09:35 and palm trees were upon the posts thereof, 09:37 on this side, and on that side, 09:39 and the going up to it had eight steps. 09:43 And he brought me to the north gate, 09:46 and measured it according to these measures, 09:48 The little chambers thereof, the posts thereof, 09:51 and the arches thereof, 09:52 and the windows to it round about, 09:54 the length was fifty cubits, 09:55 and the breadth twenty and five cubits. 09:58 And the posts thereof were toward the utter court, 10:01 and palm trees were upon the posts thereof, 10:04 on this side, and on that side, 10:06 and the going up to it had eight steps. 10:10 And the chambers and the entries 10:12 thereof were by the posts of the gates, 10:14 where they washed the burnt offering. 10:17 And in the porch of the gate 10:18 were two tables on this side, 10:20 and two tables on that side, 10:22 to slay thereon the burnt offering 10:24 and the sin offering and the trespass offering. 10:28 And at the side without, 10:30 as one goeth up to the entry of the north gate, 10:33 were two tables, and on the other side, 10:36 there was at the porch of the gate, were two tables. 10:40 Four tables were on this side, 10:41 and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate, 10:44 eight tables, whereupon they slew their sacrifices. 10:48 And the four tables were of hewn stone 10:51 for the burnt offering, of a cubit and an half long, 10:55 and a cubit and an half broad, and one cubit high, 10:59 whereupon also they laid the instruments 11:01 wherewith they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice. 11:06 And within were hooks, 11:08 an hand broad, fastened round about, 11:10 and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering. 11:13 And without the inner gate 11:15 were the chambers of the singers in the inner court, 11:17 which was at the side of the north gate, 11:19 and their prospect was toward the south, 11:22 one at the side of the east gate 11:24 having the prospect toward the north. 11:27 And he said unto me, 11:28 This chamber, whose prospect is toward the south, 11:32 is for the priests, 11:33 the keepers of the charge of the house. 11:36 And the chamber whose prospect 11:38 is toward the north is for the priests, 11:41 the keepers of the charge of the altar, 11:44 these are the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, 11:47 which come near to the Lord to minister unto him. 11:52 So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, 11:55 and an hundred cubits broad, foursquare, 11:58 and the altar that was before the house. 11:59 And he brought me to the porch of the house, 12:02 and measured each post of the porch, 12:04 five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side, 12:07 and the breadth of the gate 12:08 was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side. 12:12 The length of the porch was twenty cubits, 12:15 and the breadth eleven cubits, 12:17 and he brought me by the steps whereby they went up to it, 12:21 and there were pillars by the posts, 12:23 one on this side, and another on that side." 12:28 Continuing in Ezekiel, Chapter 41 12:30 and this is the King James Version. 12:33 "Afterward he brought me to the temple, 12:36 and measured the posts, 12:38 six cubits broad on the one side, 12:40 and six cubits broad on the other side, 12:42 which was the breadth of the tabernacle. 12:44 And the breadth of the door was ten cubits, 12:46 and the sides of the door were five cubits 12:48 on the one side, and five cubits on the other side, 12:51 and he measured the length thereof, 12:52 forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits. 12:56 Then went he inward, 12:57 and measured the post of the door, 12:59 two cubits, and the door, six cubits, 13:02 and the breadth of the door, seven cubits. 13:04 So he measured the length thereof, 13:06 twenty cubits, and the breadth, 13:07 twenty cubits, before the temple, 13:09 and he said unto me, 13:10 This is the most holy place. 13:14 After he measured the wall of the house, 13:16 six cubits, and the breadth of every side chamber, 13:19 four cubits, round about the house on every side. 13:23 And the side chambers were three, 13:25 one over another, and thirty in order, 13:28 and they entered into the wall 13:29 which was of the house 13:31 for the side chambers round about, 13:33 that they might have hold, 13:35 but they had not hold in the wall of the house. 13:38 And there was an enlarging, 13:40 and a winding about still upward to the side chambers, 13:44 for the winding about of the house 13:46 went still upward round about the house, 13:49 therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, 13:52 and so increased from the lowest chamber 13:55 to the highest by the midst. 13:58 I saw also the height of the house round about, 14:01 the foundations of the side chambers 14:03 were a full reed of six great cubits. 14:06 The thickness of the wall, 14:07 which was for the side chamber without, 14:09 was five cubits, and that which was left 14:11 was the place of the side chambers that were within. 14:14 And between the chambers 14:15 was the wideness of twenty cubits 14:18 round about the house on every side. 14:20 And the doors of the side chambers 14:22 were toward the place that was left, 14:24 one door toward the north, 14:25 and another door toward the south, 14:26 and the breadth of the place 14:27 that was left was five cubits round about. 14:31 Now the building that was before the separate place 14:33 at the end toward the west was seventy cubits broad." |
