Persisting and stiff-necked person

Ezekiel 20:33-49
I will make you pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant. Jesus is the shepherd, under his rod, is under the Redeemer.
After the Lord bring them from the peoples and gather them out of the countries where they have been scattered. Bring them into the land Israel, they shall know that 'I am the Lord", when God deal with them for his name's sake, not according to your evil ways, not according to your corrupt deeds.
Say to them(elders): The Lord will kindle a fire in the forest of the Negeb. The blazing flame shall be scorched by it. All flesh shall see that I the Lord have kindled it; it shall not be quenched.
They are saying of me, 'Is he not a maker of parables?'
Against the South - Jerusalem and Judah
Wilderness of the peoples and there I will enter into judgement with you face to face. As I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt. Wilderness of the peoples is the foreign countries where Israelites becomes slaves again there, the stiff-necked people will die.
Why?
Second wilderness is where the Lord purify Israelites when they come back from scattered nations once again. It is like most rebellious people are dead before they entered into promised land.
Ezekiel felt angry and disappointment, many Israelite elder inquire him but reject listen what he said. Just do what the Lord asked what I have to do. Don't give up, for the Lord is with us. The restoration will come when I keep going on.
The Rod is the disciplining, it is needed to us. Don't frustrate to face failure, God has his good purpose to me.
How?
Have faith to do the work for the Lord, some people refuse to listen doesn't affect the name of the Lord and His works. Do my obligation and trust in God. Be aware what I am persisting for, don't be a stiff-necked person.
