God acted fot sake of His holy name

Ezekiel 20:1-32
Some elders came to Ezekiel to inquire of the Lord, but the Lord declared that he will not be inquired of by them.
Sabbaths is a sign between I (God) and them (Israelite), that they may know that I am the  Lord who sanctifies them.
They rejected my statutes and profaned my Sabbaths.
The Lord knows that their thought, "Let us be like the nations, like the tribes of the countries, and worship wood and stone!"
Why?
The Lord acted for sake of His name, but people did not respect to the name of God, profaned God's name. God had concern for his holy name(36:21).
Bamah: it is high place. Original meaning are combined from go and what.
God won't listen to the inquiry from the rebellion man, unless he is really search for Him. The Lord like to listen our pray.
God knows what we are thinking, He knows the wicked and right heart inside human being. Most people like to do the popular or fashion matter, but it is always not the right thing.
Some ceremony looks meaningless, but more important is let us remember what the meaning of the background.
How?
Keep the good regulation when we remember the meaning to the Lord and to our life.
