And they shall know that I AM the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries. But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I AM the LORD. Moreover the Word of the LORD came to me, saying, son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness; And say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein. (Eze 12:15-19)
Ezekiel is commanded to do several things to demonstrate to the people of Jerusalem the judgment and captivity that is coming because of their sIn. Their Idolatry and rebellion had brought corruption of their princes and priests, and GOD has had enough. He is going to spoil the city, and destroy the temple. Even food and water will be scarce, but not completely gone. GOD is still merciful even in His judgment and wrath. He leaves some to be a testimony of who He is, and what He has done to them. They were to boldly proclaim to all who would hear of all their sIn and GOD's judgment and redemption.
We in the Church are also to proclaim the Word of the Lord. We are to call sIn, sIn and preach to all who will hear of the love and mercy of GOD, and also His wrath and judgment. Without Christ, we are all men most miserable, without any hope in this world. But, we have the Good News of Jesus Christ, and we must share this message of Hope with all those we meet, that they might believe and receive Him by faith in His finished work on the Cross of Calvary.
For, GOD is not willing that you should perish, but wants you to come to the knowledge of the Truth. The Truth that He is GOD, and He loves you so much that He went humbly and willingly to that Cross so that you might receive the forgiveness of your sIn and a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. He desires a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal, and calls you to surrender to Him on His terms. Believe and receive the Salvation that He freely offers you, today.
If you are already a child of GOD, tell others of our Lord and proclaim His wondrous works to all you meet.
In Christ,
