Is God just? So often He gives exactly what the unbelievers ask for... life or death without Him. So often when we give Him the backseat, He takes it! Ezekiel is a message of judgment against the Jewish nation, as he pointed out that the city of Jerusalem and the temple would not be preserved. He encouraged the people to recognize their sin and turn to the LORD in repentance. Our summary verse is from Ezekiel 33:11: “Say to them: ‘As I live,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?'" – (NKJV)
