Ezekiel 20:1-32
Some of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the Lord, and they sat down in front of Ezekiel.
I give them my decrees and made known to them my laws, by which the person who obeys them will live. Also I gave them my Sabbaths as a sign between us, so they would know that I the Lord made them holy.
During the way out of Egypt, the people of Israel rebelled against God in the wilderness, They did not follow God's decrees but rejected God's laws - by which the person who obeys them will live - and they utterly desecrated (褻瀆)God's Sabbaths.
As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I will not let you inquire of me. You say, “We want to be like the nations, like the peoples of the world, who serve wood and stone.” But what you have in mind will never happen.
Why?
Some of the elders of Israel still try to inquire of the Lord, but the Lord rejected them and not let them inquire of God. Because Israel have rebelled the Lord, God doesn't want to listen to them, the God's wrath pour on them. For they are rebellion people.
Only those who obey God's word and his prayer will be listened by the Lord.
The person who obeys them will live. Who are not follow God's decrees but rejected God's laws will die!
Sabbath is a sign between Israelite and the Lord, but they desecrated Sabbath, so the Lord leave them away.
But what you have in mind will never happen: it means there are not any blessing among them.
Jesus came there is symbol between each Christan and God, which is the Holy Spirit.
How?
Obey God's command and follow God's word will be allowed come in front of the Lord.
