Ezekiel 23:1-49
Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then confront them with their detestable practises.
This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Bring a mob against them and give them over to terror and plunder. So I will put an end to lewdness in the land, that all women may take warning and not imitate you. You will suffer the penalty for your lewdness and bear the consequences of your sins of idolatry. Then you will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.
Oholah is Samaria, capital of the northern kingdom of Israel. Oholibah is Jerusalem. Both sisters have behaved like common whores. Their appetite for their lovers is insatiable; their behaviour utterly disgusting. They have run, in turn, after Egypt and Assyria. Now Judah, outdoing her sister, is running after Babylon. Jerusalem will share Samaria's fate -shame and destruction at the hands of her latest lover. Her punishment is fully deserved.
Why?
Israel and Judah have the same sins, both of them against the Lord, they did detestable things and sins, so the Lord judged what have practices.
Worship idols will suffer from their own sins. The consequences of their sins of idolatry is terrible.
Jesus Christ is our savior, Jesus can bear out sins. There is no other way to be free.
How?
Everyone has to bear his consequences of their sins, except come to Jesus, Jesus can bear all of our sins when we turn to Him.

Anyone may stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land?
Ezekiel 22:17-31
Because you have all become dross, I will gather you into Jerusalem. As men gather silver, copper, iron,lead and tin into a furnace to melt in with a fiery blast, so will I gather you in my anger and my wrath and put you inside the city and melt you.
There is a conspiracy of her princes within her like a roaring lion tearing its prey;
Her priests do violence to my law and profane my holy things; they do not distinguish between the holly and the common.
Her officials within her are like wolves tearing their prey; they shed blood and kill people to make unjust gain.
Her prophets whitewash these deeds for them by false visions and lying divination.
I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none.
When God test them by fire, no trace of genuine metal will be found. Every section of society shares the guilt: ruler, priests, prophets and common people alike.
Why?
God looked his people like dross, no one be useful. All of them are sinner, From prince, priest, officials and prophets, are all lost what they should do. All of them shed blood and unjust gain.
Could I stand before the Lord in the gap on behalf of the land in Taiwan?
How?
May my mind and my heart be with the Lord Almighty and could be stand in the gap on behalf of the land.

God's people are guilty of blood shed
Ezekiel 22:01-16
Therefore I will make you an object of scorn to the nations and a laughing stock to all the countries.
See how each of the princes of Israel who are in you uses his power to shed blood.
1.In you they have treated father and mother with contempt; in you they have oppressed the foreigner and mistreated the fatherless and the widow.
2.You have despised my holy things and desecrated my Sabbaths.
3.In you are those who dishonor their father’s bed; in you are those who violate women during their period, when they are ceremonially unclean.
4.In you one man commits a detestable offense with his neighbor’s wife, another shamefully defiles his daughter-in-law,and another violates his sister, his own father’s daughter.
5.In you are people who accept bribes to shed blood; you take interest and make a profit from the poor. You extort unjust gain from your neighbors. And you have forgotten me, declares the Sovereign Lord.
I will put an end to your uncleanness. When you have been defiled[a] in the eyes of the nations, you will know that I am the Lord.
God's people are guilty of blood shed, oppression, extortion, bribery, and sexual sin; they have made a mockery of their religion.
Why?
God described what the Israelite have done, each of it is detestable thing. shed blood and oppress others, and shame the name of the Lord.
Both these are uglyly and destable so the Lord's angry burn down against them.
How?
God is righteousness and full of love, but anyone has sin, no one can stand before the Lord.

For I the Lord have spoken
Ezekiel 21:18-32
God knew that king of Babylon will cast lots with arrows, and he will come the lot for Jerusalem.
Because you people have brought to mind your guilt by your open rebellion, revealing your sins in all that you do - because you have done this you will be taken captive.
You will be fuel for the fire, your blood will be shed in your land, you will be remembered no more; for I the Lord have spoken.
Five years after Jerusalem fell, Nebuchadnezzar attacked Ammon.
Rabbah: Amman, present capital of Jordan.
Why?
God has announced the final judgment and it will come soon.
Because of their sins and their mind has sin against the Lord, so the destruction will come.
Blood shed in your land, you will be remembered no more. It is vanished and gone, nothing lift.
God's knows the future and knows the lots result, God is the sovereign Lord.
How?
Reverence the Lord for he is Almighty God, God's word is stand forever!

They are thrown to the sword along with my people. Therefore beat your breast
Ezekiel 20:45-21:17
Prophecy against the south: the blazing flame will not be quenched, and every face from south to north will be scorched by it.
They are thrown to the sword along with my people. Therefore beat your breast.
Said to land of Israel : I will draw my sword from its scabbard and cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked.
Cry out and wail, son of man, prophesy and strike your hands together. Let the sword strike twice, even three times. It is a sword for slaughter - a sword for great slaughter, closing in on them from every side.
Babylon, God's sword of Judgment.
God's judgment will sweep across the land from south to north like a forest fire.
The sword of God is drawn against Israel. It is in the hands of the king of Babylon, who will destroy the capital cities of both Ammon and Judah.
Why?
beat your breast: show how sad or guilty you feel in an obvious or public way 捶胸頓足
No way to get it back.
Babylon is God's sword of Judgment. When judgment come, roughteous and wicked both are fall down by the sword. God's wrath on the land both will be cut off..
How?
Fear the Lord and honor the Holy name of the Lord. Do not sad when it is too late to return.

福音的起頭 可1：1-11
福音的起頭
可1：1-11。 洪瑞玲牧師 翔倫，惠貞傳道 台南聖教會
思想：
1.福音的起頭是一個人…神的兒子，耶穌基督
2.為這人開路 先知以賽亞書記者著說：看那，我要差遣我的使者在你前面預備道路
大綱：
1.因著無偽之信傳承福音
A.無偽的愛使提摩太成長
B.無偽之信就是：體貼與信任，沒有雜質
沒有虛偽，欺騙，謊言，是完全純真的信心。
常常感謝神，對神有完全的信心，(留下什麼給後代的遺產？敬虔的父母。家庭是造就門徒的地方。)滿心快樂。
2.在恩賜上被主挑旺起來
我們很容易忘記恩賜。挑旺恩賜，為的是要服事神
最大的恩賜是愛，求主給我們愛人的恩賜與智慧
過去的屬靈經歷不能代表今天的屬靈生命
1.常常回想起初被神點燃的熱情
2.神所賜的是剛強，仁愛，謹守的心 敵人帶來恐懼，膽怯的心
神所賜是為神做見證
用永不止息的追求成長
3. 被挑旺是為了承接使命
Q.你是有熱情的人嗎？
你都的熱情用在那裡
你的生命有影響力和感染力
一個受苦的生命，為什麼有吸引力？
好命不一定是生命的目標，受苦不一定沒有影響力。
福音的預備…悔改的洗禮，使罪得赦
全備的福音…他要用聖靈給你們施行洗
福音的果效…國度，權柄，榮耀的愛
挑戰：
孫越
1.我的生命以誰為榜樣？我們羡慕什麼？
2你有沒有屬靈的兒女？生命有沒有證正面的榜樣？

You will know that I am the Lord, when I deal with you for my name’s sake
Ezekiel 20:33-44
As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I will reign over you with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm and with out poured wrath. I will bring you from the nations and gather you from the countries where you have been scattered—with a mighty handand an outstretched arm and with out poured wrath.
For on my holy mountain, the high mountain of Israel, declares the Sovereign Lord, there in the land all the people of Israel will serve me, and there I will accept them.
As for you, people of Israel, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Go and serve your idols, every one of you! But afterward you will surely listen to me and no longer profane my holy name with your gifts and idols.
I will accept you as fragrant incense when I bring you out from the nations and gather you from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will be proved holy through you in the sight of the nations.
You will know that I am the Lord, when I deal with you for my name’s sake and not according to your evil ways and your corrupt practises, you people of Israel, declares the Sovereign Lord.
Why?
God judges his people with mighty hand, for no one can escape from God's mighty hands.
On God's holy mountain there are people of Israel serving God and God will accept them. It is the final scene of Israelite will be.
Go and serve your idols, every one of you! God gives us freedom you may go to anywhere you like and do what you like, but afterward you will listen to God, for God is love and God's judgment is terrible.
God arranged Jesus came to us as our savlation, God forgive all of our sins and forgive our evil ways when we turn to Jesus and trust in Jesus. This is great grace and love to all of us.
How?
Praise the Lord and give thanks to the Lord Almighty. You will know that I am the Lord, when I deal with you for my name’s sake. Yes, it is.
