Ezekiel 25 - Day 812 (link to reading)
Scripture: Ezekiel 25:6, 8, 12, 15 Commentary (thewarehouse.blog): For the next 7 chapters, Ezekiel will bring forth messages to Judah’s surrounding nations of judgment. Some lengthy and some just a few sentences, God speaks to these who were part of their downfall. They will be held accountable. For instance of these first 4, the Ammonites were judged due to the joy they had when the temple was desecrated. The Moabites because they enjoyed the Jewish people’s fall and scorned them as God’s chosen. The Edomites were called into accountability because of racism. Finally, the Philistines because they were driven by revenge and vengeance. In each of these accounts and truly history as well, they would see the hand of God move against them as enemies of His people, making them enemies of Him. Application: We (human beings) have all fallen short of God's glory so there will be consequences for us all. No one will point a finger at another person and tell them, "I told you so." Rather, we'll either be on our knees begging for mercy or expressing our gratitude for God's grace, knowing that we didn't deserve His mercy. Prayer: Change my heart, oh God... Comments are closed.
