Good morning, everyone!
Today, I read Ezekiel 9-12.
In today's reading, Ezekiel is shown a vision of the destruction of Jerusalem.
God sends forth an angel to mark those who still love and fear Him, those who see the evil around them and despise it, and then He sends forth angels to destroy all those who are not marked.
And the way I understood the vision, Ezekiel sees that everyone is destroyed, not one person is left. Meaning that not one person is appalled by the evil going on around them.
Thus, God sends Ezekiel to speak His word to the people. God instructs him to carry a burden on his back, and tunnel out of the city wall, in order to show what will happen even to their princes, who will tunnel out and not look around them.
It's a very powerful vision, a powerful example of God's wrath. But He still sent Ezekiel to speak with the people.
I hope you read it for yourself, and that you'll join me tomorrow when I read Ezekiel 13-15.
