Ezekiel 11:14-25
This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Although I sent them far away among the nations and scattered them among the countries, yet for a little while I have been a sanctuary for them in the countries where they have gone.
Therefore say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will gather you from the nations and bring you back from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you back the land of Israel again.’
They will return to it and remove all its vile images and detestable idols. I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God. But as for those whose hearts are devoted to their vile images and detestable idols, I will bring down on their own heads what they have done, declares the Sovereign Lord.
The Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the exiles in Babylonia in the vision given by the Spirit of God.
Why?
God's promise never failed. It is proved that Israel returned to the promised land after World War II.
But those whose hearts are devoted to their vile images and detestable idols will be judged by what they have done.
Ezekiel saw the image in vision and looked at the situation of Jerusalem, the land of the promised land, and the hearts of many leaders and priests. So the Lord knows every one of our minds and hearts.
How?
Give glory to the Lord and obey God's word, come closer to the Lord with all my strength, my heart and my mind.
