Two eagles and a vine.

Ezekiel 17:1-24
Two eagles and a vine.
Will it thrive? Will it not be uprooted and tripped of its fruit so that it withers? All its new growth will wither. It will not take a strong arm or many people to pull it up by the roots. Even if it is transplanted, will it thrive? will it not wither completely when the east wind strikes it - wither away in the plot where it grew?
As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, he shall die in Babylon, in the land of the king who put him on the throne, whose oath he despised and whose treaty he broke. He despised the oath by breaking the covenant. Because he had given his hand in pledge and yet did all these things, he shall not escape.
All his fleeing troops will fall by the sword, and the survivors will be scattered to the winds. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken.
All the trees of the field will know that I the Lord being down the tall tree and make the low tree grow tall. I dry up the green tree and make the dry tree flourish.
Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, who took King Jehoiachin captive. The seed he plants is Zedekiah. But Zekekiah soon turned to Egypt for help, bringing the Babylonians back to destroy Jerusalem. In 587, within three or four years, the prediction came true. But God will take a cutting from the line of Israel's kings which will take root.
Why?
God cared about the oath and treaty. if we made we have to follow it. For the Lord hates the lie or one who despise his oath.
It is the Lord who make plant have rooted and make it grown up. It is the Lord gives them water and good environment. Only God is my Lord, I will trust in Him and follow his word.
How?
God's word will be done, don't doubt it. God's word is my way and my strength.
