Ezekiel 12:17-28
Ezekiel shows the vision of eating food in anxiety and drink their water in despair, for their land will be stripped of everything in it because of the violence of all who live there.
"The days go by and every vision comes to nothing" . but the Lord says: I am going to put an end to this proverb, the days are near when every vision will be fulfilled.
'The vision he sees is for many years from now, and he prophesies about the distant future.' the Lord says: None of my words will be delayed any longer; whatever I say will be fulfilled.
Why?
It was as God said it would be, and within a very short space of time.
vision is different with proverb, vision is came from the Lord, but people see it as proverb, they don't care it because it is in many years from now.
The words of the Lord will be fulfilled, he is faithful God. But these world will come to an end, turn to the Lord, he is not delay but is waiting for our repenting and getting the eternal life.
Eating food in anxiety and drink their water in despair are worse to everyone. That is not life and relax, under the blessing of the Lord only we enjoy the life and relax.
How?
God's words will be fulfilled. Fear the Lord.

What I am concerning about?
Numbers 12:1-16
They have eyes to see but do not see and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious people.
God let Ezekiel let people see how he bring out his belongings packed for exile in the daytime and dig through the wall with his hands in the evening, perhaps they will understand though they are a rebellious house.
It is an oracle concerns the prince in Jerusalem and the whole house of Israel who are there.
Cover his face so that he cannot see the land. Zedekiah could not see because his eyes were put out.
Ezekiel's prophesy proved accurate to the last detail.
Why?
Although most people refuse to listen, the prophet continues to make God's word known. As he puts together the bare necessities, ready for flight, and as he breaks through the mud-brick wall at night, Ezekiel is paying the part, not just of any escapee, but of King Zedekiah.
To the rebellious people God let them know that he is the Lord, what they will have in their life were told.
People has eyes but could not see the truth, has ear to hear but cannot hear the words of God. Because their heart are stone, they refuse turn to the Lord.
How?
Am I a rebellious one? How about my heart, my eyes and my ear? What I am concerning about? Only the life in this world or in the future? What is my mission and my eyes focus on? Dear Lord, please let me see what you wants me to see. Rejoice because of the Lord!

Heart of sone or heart of flesh
Ezekiel 11:14-25
Most Israelites said they are far away from the Lord, the land their possession.
The Lord promised that I will gather you from the nations and bring you back from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you back the land of Israel again.
The Lord will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh.
The God is not making a full end. The future lies with the exiles.
The glory of the Lord went up from within the city and stopped above the mountain east of it, then the vision went up from Ezekiel.
Why?
God drives out all the detestable things and the people live among it. But God has mercy to his people, he will bring them back from nations where they were exiled.
God not only bring them back but also give them a new heart - a heart of flesh, not stone heart, will listen to the words of God and do what I have listened.
Israel made a history shows to the world, let people know the Lord is mighty God with righteousness and mercy.
How?
The Lord hopes people repent from their sins and turn to Him. Is my heart belong to heart of flesh or heart of stone?

Jerusalem is like a pot
Ezekiel 11:1-13
The Lord rebuked that the prophets, the leader of the city killed God's people.
The city is a pot full of dead body.
Prophesy again them.
You will know that I am the Lord, for you have not followed my decrees or kept my laws but have conformed to the standards of the nations around you.
25 men was
at east gate entrance of the house. They are the men who are plotting evil and
giving wicked advice in this city.
Pelatiah son
of Benaiah was among them, then he died when Ezekiel was prophesying.
Why?
Very evil
men usually the Lord will end his life by his hand soon.
These
leaders and prophets of Jerusalem killed many people in the city, so the city
like a pot full with meat, but the Lord will kill them at the border of Israel.
They might think they have escaped from the city, but the judge of the Lord
will not hiding. Then they will know He is the Lord.
How?
Leaders of
the church or people take more responsibility than others, they have more
blessing from the Lord and respect from the people, but if they do not do the
right thing. The judgment comes upon them first.

God is with us
Ezekiel 10:1-8
The Glory of the Lord Leaves the Temple.
The man clothed in linen, who fill his hands with burning coals from between the cherubim and scatter them over the city.
He went in and the cherubim were standing on the south side of the house, when he went in, the glory of the Lord went up from the cherubim to the threshold of the house, and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the Lord.
Why?
More detail to describe the four creatures than chapter 1 which are cherubims.
The burning coals means penalty. It is scatter the penalty over the Jerusalem.
The man clothed in linen. he is dressed as Christ - clothed in linen. This is as it will be in the end of days...just as this "shadow" shows us. He comes pretending to be Christ.
The Lord is going away from Israelites, leaving from the temple He promised to king Solomon for the Lord won't stay with evil men, the city full with detestable things.
How?
There is not temple in the world, but the God is with us, when we repent and turn to Him, trust in Jesus.

The Mark of righteous men
Ezekiel 9:1-11
The Lord order the guards with weapon in his hand and go through the city and kill, without showing pity or compassion.
Before the slaughter, the Lord asked them was a man clothed in linen who had a writing kit at his side. They go throughout the city of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who grieve and lament over all the detestable things that are done in it. - The Lord save the people who are righteousness.
Slaughter begin at my sanctuary, but do not touch anyone who has the mark, So they began with the elders who were in front of the temple.
Ezekiel prayed to the Lord, God said to him 'The sin of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great; the land is full of bloodshed and the city is full of injustice.' They say, 'The Lord has forsaken the land; the Lord does not see.'
Why?
The Lord let Ezekiel see the vision of the loss of Jerusalem and the evil will be clear by the hands of the Lord.
Only those who grieve for the loss of the true faith will be spared.
A Mark: Jeremiah, Baruch and the foreigner, Ebed-meleh, were among those 'marked' to be spared. In Revelation those true to God are marked, and so are those who sell out to the forces of evil. The mark here is the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet, taw, written as a cross in the oldest script.
Idolatry has been the chief sin so far. Here it is clear that the most basic laws have been broken.
Elders in the temple were justified first, so the leaders of the church shell aware of this. Doing right, or the judge of the Lord comes upon them first. The leader of church takes responsibility of Shepherd God's people.
When God's wrath are broken out, no one can stop it.
How?
No matter is living among any city, don't follow the detestable thing and do what is right and grieve for the loss faith will be spared.

The Lord knows everything
Ezekiel 8:1-18
The Lord come to Ezekiel and left him up to see what detestable things Israelites have done in Jerusalem.
70 elders of the house of Israel, and Jaazaniah son of Shaphen was standing among them. Each had a censer in his hand. The elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each at the shrine of his own idol. They say, 'The Lord does not see us'. Another 75 men at the entrance to the temple, they were bowing down to the sun in the east.
They putting the branch to their nose! Therefore I will deal with them in anger.
In September 592 God comes to Ezekiel second time. He is transported in vision to Jerusalem, and set down beside the Temple.
What he sees may be actually practices, or the description may be symbolic. Either way the meaning is plain.
Why?
putting the branch to their nose: Possibly a reference to some pagan practice.
Jaazaniah: His father was King Josiah's secretary of state.
Israelites includes the elders total departure from the religion of Israel.
The Lord shown these vision to Ezekiel, let us know that God's wrath is reasonable to pour upon on Israelites. All of them have against the commands of the Lord.
The Lord knows what we have done, there is not darkness in front of the Lord. God is waiting for our repent, so He does not kill them immediately.
How?
Fear the Lord, for He is God with righteousness and love forever. Nothing can hide before Him.

The conduct and my own standards
Ezekiel 7:14-21
Outside is the sword, inside are plague and famine. All who survive and escape will be in the mountains.
Their silver and gold will not be able to save them in the day of the Lord's wrath.
They were proud of their beautiful jewelery and used it to make their detestable idols and vile images.
I will deal with them according to their conduct, and by their own standards I will judge them. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
The people's flagrant idolatry is about to bring destruction upon them - judgment from which there is no escape.
Then they will know that the Lord is God indeed. Terrible, total calamity is befalling the land.
Why?
Shaven head were a sign of disgrace as well as of mourning.
No one can escape inside the city or in the country.
Silver and gold are not able to save their life in the day of calamity. Which were proud of people. Same as in this generation, gold is precious to population.
Eternal life is more important than the gold and silver in our life.
We have out own standard to judge what we are seeing, the final judgement of the Lord will come. Our standards always are not right. Don't be a stupid person, fear the Lord is wisdom.
How?
What is my standards in my heart? the word of God is my standard. Check my standards everyday! Did I compromise it or forget it?

The calamities are fall by the sword, famine and plague.
Only very little men who escape will remember the Lord. They will loathe themselves for the evil they have done and for their detestable practices.
Why?
Some will remember when they are going to die, some of them won't. Most the of survivor of Israel will remember what God has said and done.
The mountains, the high places, alters and their idols where are the places Israelite put their idols on it. God knew what evil people have done. All are detestable things. God knows everything, no one can hide himself in front of the Lord.
Loathe themselves: hate what they have done many evils, repent their behavior.

You shall know that I am the Lord
Ezekiel 5:1-17
I am the Lord, I have spoken. God's word is never fail.
Behold, I am against you. And I will execute judgments in your midst in the sight of the nations. Because of all your abominations I will do with you what I have never yet done, and the like of which I will never do again.
I will vent my fury upon them and satisfy myself. And you shall know that I am the Lord- that I have spoken in my jealousy-- when I spend my fury upon them.
Why?

Thanks giving
Ezekiel 4:1-17
Ezekiel do some actions to symbolize the siege of Jerusalem.
Lie on left side for 390 days and put the sine of the house of Israel upon himself. Lie down again on his right side, and bear the sin of the house of Judah 40 days, a day for each year.
Take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and spelt; put them in a storage jar and use them to make bread for yourself. eat it during the 390 days.
Weight out 20 shekels (230gm/80oz) of food to eat each day and eat it at set times, And measure out a sixth of a hin (half a litre) of water and drink it at set times.
The people watch, and get the message. With growing horror they see him weigh out his meagre微薄 measure of mixed grain and eke out 勉強維持 his water ration. They see the prophet wasting away消瘦, as the population of Jerusalem will do under siege.
The Greek version has 190 days; from the fall of Samaria in 722/1 BC to the return of the exiles in 538 is 184 years. From the fall of Jerusalem in 587 to 538 is 49 years. 40 may represent a generation, rather than being an exact figure.
Why?
The Lord let Ezekiel live out the life of Israel and Judah will be before they waste away. Live out the situation of the Jerusalem has more impressive image to Israelites.
Ezekiel was living in exile but he had kept himself ritually clean, observing the food laws, as Daniel and his friends also did at the Babylonian court.
When we are living in this good environment life, don't forget it is the mercy of the Lord to us. Thanks giving to the Lord and many peoples have done for us.
How?
Nothing is naturally will be, but the grace of the Lord comes upon me. Fear the Lord is wisdom and praise to be the Lord.

Speak what the Lord has said
Ezekiel 3:22-27
The hand of the Lord was upon Ezekiel and he said to him.
The Spirit came into Ezekiel and raised him to his feet.
When the Lord speak to him, Ezekiel will open his mouth and he shall say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says.' Ezekiel haven't the right to decide what he can say and what are not to say.
Whoever will listen let him listen and whoever will refuse let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.
Why?
Prophet Ezekiel can say what the Lord let him say to the people. He cannot say his own words but God's words.
The people will forbid him to speak God's words so they will tie him with ropes.
The Lord let his people has the freedom to choose his way, the salvation are same to everyone, but the choice of each one depends on his decision. The Lord knows those are rebellious house, most of them won't turn to the Lord.
Even though prophet have to preach the word of the Lord, God's warning to his people.
This is what the Sovereign Lord says which is with power of the Lord, it could not say it by our own unless the Lord rally said to me.
How?
No matter what response of the people will be, to preach God's love and his words is our mission in this world.
The hand of the Lord was upon Ezekiel and he said to him.
The Spirit came into Ezekiel and raised him to his feet.
When the Lord speak to him, Ezekiel will open his mouth and he shall say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says.' Ezekiel haven't the right to decide what he can say and what are not to say.
Whoever will listen let him listen and whoever will refuse let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.
Why?
Prophet Ezekiel can say what the Lord let him say to the people. He cannot say his own words but God's words.
The people will forbid him to speak God's words so they will tie him with ropes.
The Lord let his people has the freedom to choose his way, the salvation are same to everyone, but the choice of each one depends on his decision. The Lord knows those are rebellious house, most of them won't turn to the Lord.
Even though prophet have to preach the word of the Lord, God's warning to his people.
This is what the Sovereign Lord says which is with power of the Lord, it could not say it by our own unless the Lord rally said to me.
How?
No matter what response of the people will be, to preach God's love and his words is our mission in this world.

Speak God's word to them wherther they listen or fail to listen
Ezekiel 2:8-3:11
The Lord stretched out a scroll to Ezekiel, both side of it were written words of lament and mourning and woe. The Lord said to Exekiel eat this scroll, fill his stomach with it. Ezekiel ate it and it taste as sweet as honey.
To the house of Israel, speak God's words to them. you are not being sent to a people of obscure speech and difficut language. If I had sent you to them, they would have listened to you. But the house of Israel is not willing to listen,
Say to them in exile 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says,' whether they listen or fail to listen.
From thispoint on it will be Ezekiel's life-mission to let God's people know that he is the Lord. They will learn it first through the terrors of judgement. Afterwards they will see his power to restore and renew.
Why?
God's words are sweet to his people, who like his word and like to eat it as his strength.
This mission seems impossible to Ezekiel to say to Israel, for the people are unwilling to listen God's word. But the Lord has mercy, he try to let his people know the warning from the Lord.
To be a servant of the Lord say God's word to them, whether they listen of fail to listen. Speak is our mission, the response is their responsbility and God's work.
How?
Speak God's word in the proper time and place, and in the difficult time and place. Listen to God's word. It is not what I want to do, but listen to God's word and brave to do it.

God's glory above all; Ezekiel
Ezekiel 1:15-28
Four wheels on the earth beside the living creatures. Their appearance an construction being as it were wheel within a wheel. The spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
Over the heads of the living creatures there was the likeness of an expanse, shining like awe-inspiring crystal.
Above the expanse over their heads there was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like sapphire and seated above the likeness of a throne was a likeness with a human appearace. As it were gleaming metal, fire enclosed all around, like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain.
Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.
Why?
Ezekiel saw the glory of the Lord, did not the image of the Lord.
It is hard to describe the Lord, but there were a few characters of throne, human, fire, cloud and the glory.
How?
The Lord is with us. God's glory beyond all of the earth and all creatures.

Place: the land of the Chaldeans by the Chebar Chanel.
The hand of the Lord was upon him there.
The feature of the four living creatures. The four each had a human face, each had the face of a lion on the right side, the face of an ox on the left side, and the face of eagle.
The living creatures darted to and fro, like the appearance of a flash of lightning.
This creatures are the cherubim.
Why?
Ezekiel was a priest of Israel.
When Ezekiel was in exile place where filled many idols, but he saw different vision from the Lord, the glory of the Lord. This is an unbelievable vision, indescribable feature. It is out of nature rule and above the plan of human being.

It doesn’t matter to the right or wrong but our mission of the Lord
Numbers 32:1-42
If we
have found favor in your eyes: When we request to the Lord for ourselves, this
is the altitude to pray.
Reubenites
and Gadites saw the lands of Jazerand Gilead were suitable for livestock. So they
request to let their wife, children, flocks and herds may stay in east side of
Jordan.
Be free
from your obligation to the Lord and
to Israel: When we have done what we have promised than we will be free from
our duty.
Your sin will find your out: When anyone did an
evil, his sin will follow him for his evil.
The Gadites, Reubenites and half tribe of Manasseh
answered, they will cross over before the Lord into Canaan armed, but the
property they inherit over will be on this side of Jordan.
Why?
We can do nothing unless the Lord allows us, so even
our prayer or requests could be proved when we have found favor in the Lord.
The Lord gives us the best one, but we always found
others are good and wanted it before we see the promise land.
Even promise land needs fighting to get it, this war
is blessed under the Lord, do not fear about it.
Sin will get the penalty finally, consider the
consequence of the sin and don’t do it.
How?
The Lord
allows us to make decision as what we see is good. The rule is follow the
commands of the Lord, sometime there are not the right or wrong but the mission
of the Lord to us.
Man and woman have same right before the Lord
Numbers 36:1-13
The rule of marriage of female heirs: every daaughter who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the people of Israel shall be wife to one of the clan of the tribe of her fater, so that every one of the people of Israel may possess the inheritance of his father. So no inheritance shall be transferred from one tribe to another.
Why?
The inheritance is determined by lot and the number of each tribe, it is the possess of every tribe. Which is the land from the Lord's blessing and command, so it could not be changed among tribes.
Female in Israel has the right to get the inheritance of her faterh from very early history.
Keep to follow the commands of the Lord will be blessed.
How?
Male and female are equal in the eyes of the Lord, so as we to look man and woman in this world.

A leader's wisdom
Numbers 34:1-29
Boundary of Canaan.
The Lord said to Moses, assign the land for you as an inheritance are Eleazat the priest and Joshua son of Nun. Appoint one leader from each tribe to help assign the land.
Why?
To assign land for inheritance is controversial matter, so the Lord assigned Joshua and Eleazat to bear this job. So to each tribe, appointed a leader from each tribe to assign land in his tribe. This is a good leadership to subdue the argument when they get the promised land.
Joshua and Eleazat both to assign the land of Canaan may prevent the mistake of man, and they are obeyed the commands of the Lord. They can cooperate good.
How?
Leading a group or team need wisdom, share profit need fair, so take lot a good idea. The Lord has considered the possible problem in the future. Dear Lord! Please give me the wisdom let me have the wisdom to consider the possible problem in the future.

7 male lambs, each with 1/10 ephah of fine flour
Sin offering : 1 male goat
Why?
A little less important as Passover and Firstfruits for the burnt offering.
Half of a year for feast of Trumpts, make offering as aroma to the Lord.
Always erase the sin from all God's people, for the Gos is Holy.
How?
Holy, Holy is the Lord Almight. His righteousness endure forever, His love endure forever.
