Day 252 Ezekiel 23 and 24

In chapter 23, the word of the LORD comes to Ezekiel in the form of an illustration of two women who have committed prostitution or whoredoms as the KJV calls it. The two women are Aholah the elder and Aholibah her sister and they represent Samaria (Israel) and Jerusalem (Judah) respectively. They’ve strayed from God, committing idolatry and engaging in corrupt practices with their neighbours Assyria, Babylon and Egypt. The Lord pronounces judgment upon them.

In chapter 24, the illustration continues with the parable of a boiling pot, filled with water and filled with the best part of the choicest animals from the flock and boiled until the bones are turned to mush. This is another warning of the punishment the people face for their vile behaviour. Ezekiel is also told that he is not to cry and weep and in the evening after he delivers the word to the people, his wife dies and he is not allowed to mourn. Finally, he prophesies the destruction of the temple and is told by the Lord that he will be a sign to the people so that they will know that the Lord is God.

Summary Eze 21-22

 

God continues to use Ezekiel to bring warning to Israel regarding the coming wrath against them.  Ezekiel is instructed to turn his face toward Jerusalem and prophesy against the land.  The Lords says his sword would be drawn against the righteous and the wicked because of their rebellious ways towards Him.  They continued to worship idols that their own hands had made.  The strangers among them were being oppressed.  They despised and scorned the scared things of God including the Sabbath.  Women were being violated, acts of lewdness were taking place, bribery, oppression and extortion.  Israel had become like metallic waste to the Lord--useless.  Because of this, they would be gathered together and the Lord would blow his wrath upon them, a wrath of fire says the Lord
