Then they will know that I am the Lord

Ezekiel 7:14-27
They have blown the trumpet, they have made all things ready, but no one will go into battle, for my wrath is on the whole crowd. Outside is the sword; inside are plague and famine. Those in the country will die by the sword; those in the city will be devoured by famine and plague.
Prepare chains! For the land is full of bloodshed, and the city is full of violence. I will bring the most wicked of nations to take possession of their houses. I will put an end to the pride of the mighty, and their sanctuaries will be desecrated.
They will go searching for a vision from the prophet, priestly instruction in the law will cease, the counsel of the elders will come to an end.
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.
Shaven heads were a sign of disgrace as well as of mourning.
Why?
The punishment and destruction were whole direction, both inside and outside, the city was surrounded by enemies. What they have made all things ready, but no one will go into battle. How sad those people, for God's wrath against them, their is no way escape from the hand of the Lord.
They had gold and silver but could not deliver them out of it.
For their land full of bloodshed and violence, so God has not pity on them.
God waned let them know that I am the Lord through this terrify way.
People have to shed their life to compensate innocent people's life is punishment, so as Jesus shed his blood as ransom for our life is grace.
How?
Be acknowledged God is my Lord. Jesus is my savior.
