Hello and welcome to
"His Words are Life."
00:00:16.17\00:00:18.53
I'm Kelly Mowrer and today
00:00:18.54\00:00:19.98
we are going to be
reading in the Book of Ezekiel.
00:00:19.99\00:00:22.50
But let's pray
together before we start.
00:00:22.51\00:00:25.38
Dear Heavenly Father,
00:00:25.39\00:00:26.65
thank you so much for this time
00:00:26.66\00:00:30.01
to listen to Your words
that will teach us more of You
00:00:30.02\00:00:34.81
and that's what we hunger for.
00:00:34.82\00:00:36.92
Please be with us now
as we read and teach us
00:00:36.93\00:00:40.44
what You would have us to know.
00:00:40.45\00:00:42.24
We love You so much and
thank you for loving us. Amen.
00:00:42.25\00:00:45.02
We're reading in
Ezekiel Chapter 4
00:00:46.13\00:00:48.45
beginning with verse 6 and
this is the King James Version.
00:00:48.46\00:00:51.88
"And when thou
hast accomplished them,
00:00:53.17\00:00:54.83
lie again on thy right side,
00:00:54.84\00:00:56.47
and thou shalt bear the iniquity
00:00:56.48\00:00:58.31
of the house of
Judah forty days.
00:00:58.32\00:01:00.99
I have appointed
thee each day for a year.
00:01:01.00\00:01:05.04
Therefore thou
shalt set thy face
00:01:05.05\00:01:07.07
toward the siege of Jerusalem,
00:01:07.08\00:01:08.51
and thine arm
shall be uncovered,
00:01:08.52\00:01:10.70
and thou shalt
prophesy against it.
00:01:10.71\00:01:13.42
And, behold, I will
lay bands upon thee,
00:01:13.43\00:01:16.40
and thou shalt not turn
thee from one side to another,
00:01:16.41\00:01:19.57
till thou hast ended
the days of thy siege.
00:01:19.58\00:01:23.47
Take thou also unto thee wheat,
00:01:23.48\00:01:26.17
and barley, and
beans, and lentiles,
00:01:26.18\00:01:28.36
and millet, and fitches,
and put them in one vessel,
00:01:28.37\00:01:31.65
and make thee bread thereof,
00:01:31.66\00:01:33.67
according to the
number of the days
00:01:33.68\00:01:35.35
that thou shalt
lie upon thy side,
00:01:35.36\00:01:37.61
three hundred and ninety
days shalt thou eat thereof.
00:01:37.62\00:01:40.58
And thy meat
which thou shalt eat
00:01:40.59\00:01:42.65
shall be by weight,
twenty shekels a day,
00:01:42.66\00:01:46.08
from time to time
shalt thou eat it.
00:01:46.09\00:01:49.03
Thou shalt drink
also water by measure,
00:01:49.04\00:01:51.19
the sixth part of an hin,
00:01:51.20\00:01:52.86
from time to
time shalt thou drink.
00:01:52.87\00:01:55.64
And thou shalt eat
it as barley cakes,
00:01:55.65\00:01:57.58
and thou shalt bake it with dung
00:01:57.59\00:01:59.28
that cometh out of
man, in their sight.
00:01:59.29\00:02:02.67
And the Lord said, even thus
shall the children of Israel
00:02:02.68\00:02:05.90
eat their defiled
bread among the Gentiles,
00:02:05.91\00:02:09.41
whither I will drive them.
00:02:09.42\00:02:12.19
Then said I, Ah Lord God!
00:02:12.20\00:02:15.33
Behold, my soul
hath not been polluted,
00:02:15.34\00:02:18.89
for from my
youth up even till now
00:02:18.90\00:02:22.07
have I not eaten of
that which dieth of itself,
00:02:22.08\00:02:25.76
or is torn in pieces,
00:02:25.77\00:02:27.81
neither came there
abominable flesh into my mouth.
00:02:27.82\00:02:32.34
Then he said unto me,
00:02:32.35\00:02:33.87
Lo, I have given thee
cow's dung for man's dung,
00:02:33.88\00:02:36.95
and thou shalt
prepare thy bread therewith.
00:02:36.96\00:02:39.71
Moreover he said
unto me, Son of man,
00:02:40.84\00:02:42.94
behold, I will break the
staff of bread in Jerusalem.
00:02:42.95\00:02:46.94
And they shall eat bread
by weight, and with care,
00:02:46.95\00:02:50.12
and they shall
drink water by measure,
00:02:50.13\00:02:52.51
and with astonishment.
00:02:52.52\00:02:54.12
That they may
want bread and water,
00:02:54.13\00:02:56.78
and be astonied
one with another,
00:02:56.79\00:02:58.73
and consume away
for their iniquity."
00:02:58.74\00:03:01.78
Continuing in Ezekiel Chapter 5
00:03:02.95\00:03:04.91
and this is the
King James Version.
00:03:04.92\00:03:06.45
"And thou, son of man,
00:03:07.76\00:03:08.95
take thee a sharp knife,
take thee a barber's razor,
00:03:08.96\00:03:12.46
and cause it to pass upon
thine head and upon thy beard,
00:03:12.47\00:03:16.48
then take thee balances to
weigh, and divide the hair.
00:03:16.49\00:03:19.76
Thou shalt burn
with fire a third part
00:03:19.77\00:03:22.66
in the midst of the city,
00:03:22.67\00:03:24.23
when the days of
the siege are fulfilled.
00:03:24.24\00:03:26.79
And thou shalt
take a third part,
00:03:26.80\00:03:28.15
and smite about it with a knife.
00:03:28.16\00:03:31.33
And a third part thou
shalt scatter in the wind,
00:03:31.34\00:03:34.34
and I will draw
out a sword after them.
00:03:34.35\00:03:37.11
Thou shalt also take
thereof a few in number,
00:03:37.12\00:03:39.33
and bind them in thy skirts.
00:03:39.34\00:03:41.53
Then take of them again,
00:03:41.54\00:03:43.17
and cast them into
the midst of the fire,
00:03:43.18\00:03:45.30
and burn them in the fire,
00:03:45.31\00:03:46.35
for thereof
shall a fire come forth
00:03:46.36\00:03:49.64
into all the house of Israel.
00:03:49.65\00:03:52.39
Thus saith the Lord
God, this is Jerusalem.
00:03:52.40\00:03:56.25
I have set it in
the midst of the nations
00:03:56.26\00:03:58.38
and countries that
are round about her.
00:03:58.39\00:04:01.45
And she hath changed my
judgments into wickedness
00:04:01.46\00:04:05.20
more than the
nations and my statutes
00:04:05.21\00:04:07.99
more than the countries
that are round about her,
00:04:08.00\00:04:09.83
for they have refused my
judgments and my statutes,
00:04:09.84\00:04:12.64
they have not walked in them.
00:04:12.65\00:04:14.10
Therefore thus
saith the Lord God.
00:04:15.18\00:04:17.82
Because ye
multiplied more than the nations
00:04:17.83\00:04:21.37
that are round about you,
00:04:21.38\00:04:23.31
and have not
walked in my statutes,
00:04:23.32\00:04:25.60
neither have kept my judgments,
00:04:25.61\00:04:27.20
neither have done
according to the judgments
00:04:27.21\00:04:28.83
of the nations that
are round about you.
00:04:28.84\00:04:30.95
Therefore thus
saith the Lord God.
00:04:30.96\00:04:33.24
Behold, I, even
I, am against thee,
00:04:33.25\00:04:37.12
and will execute
judgments in the midst of thee
00:04:37.13\00:04:39.52
in the sight of the nations.
00:04:39.53\00:04:41.62
And I will do in thee
that which I have not done,
00:04:41.63\00:04:45.45
and whereunto I will
not do any more the like,
00:04:45.46\00:04:49.15
because of all
thine abominations.
00:04:49.16\00:04:52.35
Therefore the
fathers shall eat the sons
00:04:52.36\00:04:55.22
in the midst of thee,
00:04:55.23\00:04:56.51
and the sons
shall eat their fathers,
00:04:56.52\00:04:58.20
and I will
execute judgments in thee,
00:04:58.21\00:05:00.51
and the whole remnant of thee
00:05:00.52\00:05:02.40
will I scatter
into all the winds.
00:05:02.41\00:05:05.88
Wherefore, as I
live, saith the Lord God,
00:05:05.89\00:05:08.55
surely, because thou
hast defiled my sanctuary
00:05:08.56\00:05:11.99
with all thy detestable things,
00:05:12.00\00:05:14.30
and with all thine abominations,
00:05:14.31\00:05:16.85
therefore will I
also diminish thee,
00:05:16.86\00:05:20.83
neither shall mine eye spare,
neither will I have any pity.
00:05:20.84\00:05:26.59
A third part of thee
shall die with the pestilence,
00:05:26.60\00:05:29.97
and with famine
shall they be consumed
00:05:29.98\00:05:32.09
in the midst of thee.
00:05:32.10\00:05:33.51
And a third part shall fall
by the sword round about thee,
00:05:33.52\00:05:37.64
and I will scatter a
third part into all the winds,
00:05:37.65\00:05:40.20
and I will draw
out a sword after them.
00:05:40.21\00:05:43.01
Thus shall mine
anger be accomplished,
00:05:43.02\00:05:45.53
and I will cause my
fury to rest upon them,
00:05:45.54\00:05:49.02
and I will be comforted.
00:05:49.03\00:05:50.82
And they shall
know that I the Lord
00:05:50.83\00:05:53.14
have spoken it in my zeal,
00:05:53.15\00:05:55.42
when I have
accomplished my fury in them.
00:05:55.43\00:05:58.36
Moreover I will make
thee waste and a reproach
00:05:58.37\00:06:01.80
among the nations
that are round about thee,
00:06:01.81\00:06:03.91
in the sight of
all that pass by.
00:06:03.92\00:06:06.37
So it shall be a
reproach and a taunt,
00:06:06.38\00:06:09.16
an instruction and an
astonishment unto the nations
00:06:09.17\00:06:12.76
that are round about thee,
00:06:12.77\00:06:14.28
when I shall
execute judgments in thee
00:06:14.29\00:06:16.63
in anger and in fury
and in furious rebukes.
00:06:16.64\00:06:21.35
I the Lord have spoken it.
00:06:21.36\00:06:24.32
When I shall send upon
them the evil arrows of famine,
00:06:24.33\00:06:28.15
which shall be
for their destruction,
00:06:28.16\00:06:29.71
and which I will
send to destroy you.
00:06:29.72\00:06:32.31
And I will increase
the famine upon you,
00:06:32.32\00:06:35.14
and will break
your staff of bread.
00:06:35.15\00:06:37.65
So will I send upon
you famine and evil beasts,
00:06:37.66\00:06:40.76
and they shall bereave thee,
00:06:40.77\00:06:42.62
and pestilence and
blood shall pass through thee,
00:06:42.63\00:06:45.42
and I will bring
the sword upon thee.
00:06:45.43\00:06:48.09
I the Lord have spoken it."
00:06:48.10\00:06:51.44
Continuing to read
in Ezekiel Chapter 6
00:06:51.45\00:06:54.41
and this is the
King James Version.
00:06:54.42\00:06:55.79
"And the word of
the Lord came unto me,
00:06:57.49\00:06:59.22
saying, Son of man,
00:06:59.23\00:07:00.94
set thy face toward
the mountains of Israel,
00:07:00.95\00:07:03.52
and prophesy against them,
00:07:03.53\00:07:04.81
and say, Ye mountains of Israel,
00:07:04.82\00:07:06.99
hear the word of the Lord God,
00:07:07.00\00:07:08.96
thus saith the Lord
God to the mountains,
00:07:08.97\00:07:11.97
and to the hills, to the
rivers and to the valleys.
00:07:11.98\00:07:15.37
Behold, I, even I,
will bring a sword upon you,
00:07:15.38\00:07:19.21
and I will
destroy your high places.
00:07:19.22\00:07:21.78
And your altars
shall be desolate,
00:07:21.79\00:07:24.09
and your images shall be broken.
00:07:24.10\00:07:26.41
And I will cast down your
slain men before your idols.
00:07:26.42\00:07:29.78
And I will lay the dead carcases
00:07:29.79\00:07:31.54
of the children of
Israel before their idols,
00:07:31.55\00:07:34.46
and I will scatter your
bones round about your altars.
00:07:34.47\00:07:38.43
In all your dwellingplaces
the cities shall be laid waste,
00:07:38.44\00:07:42.24
and the high
places shall be desolate,
00:07:42.25\00:07:44.89
that your altars may be
laid waste and made desolate,
00:07:44.90\00:07:47.96
and your idols may
be broken and cease,
00:07:47.97\00:07:51.99
and your images may be cut down,
00:07:52.00\00:07:54.80
and your works may be abolished.
00:07:54.81\00:07:58.10
And the slain shall
fall in the midst of you,
00:07:58.11\00:08:00.98
and ye shall know
that I am the Lord.
00:08:00.99\00:08:04.53
Yet will I leave a remnant.
00:08:05.93\00:08:08.22
That ye may have
some that shall escape
00:08:08.23\00:08:11.46
the sword among the nations,
00:08:11.47\00:08:13.49
when ye shall be
scattered through the countries.
00:08:13.50\00:08:16.49
And they that escape
of you shall remember me
00:08:16.50\00:08:19.20
among the nations whither
they shall be carried captives,
00:08:19.21\00:08:22.87
because I am broken
with their whorish heart,
00:08:22.88\00:08:25.90
which hath departed
from me, and with their eyes,
00:08:25.91\00:08:28.88
which go a
whoring after their idols.
00:08:28.89\00:08:31.54
And they shall lothe
themselves for the evils
00:08:31.55\00:08:35.00
which they have committed
in all their abominations.
00:08:35.01\00:08:38.85
And they shall
know that I am the Lord,
00:08:38.86\00:08:42.34
and that I have not said in vain
00:08:42.35\00:08:44.32
that I would do
this evil upon them.
00:08:44.33\00:08:47.12
Thus saith the Lord
God, Smite with thine hand,
00:08:47.13\00:08:50.62
and stamp with
thy foot, and say,
00:08:50.63\00:08:53.19
Alas for all the
evil abominations
00:08:53.20\00:08:55.67
of the house of Israel!
00:08:55.68\00:08:57.28
For they shall
fall by the sword,
00:08:57.29\00:08:59.26
by the famine,
and by the pestilence.
00:08:59.27\00:09:02.04
He that is far off
shall die of the pestilence,
00:09:02.05\00:09:04.66
and he that is near
shall fall by the sword,
00:09:04.67\00:09:07.55
and he that
remaineth and is besieged
00:09:07.56\00:09:10.39
shall die by the famine.
00:09:10.40\00:09:12.37
And thus will I
accomplish my fury upon them.
00:09:12.38\00:09:15.01
Then shall ye know
that I am the Lord,
00:09:16.06\00:09:19.55
when their slain men
shall be among their idols
00:09:19.56\00:09:22.52
round about their
altars, upon every high hill,
00:09:22.53\00:09:25.97
in all the tops
of the mountains,
00:09:25.98\00:09:27.75
and under every green
tree, and under every thick oak,
00:09:27.76\00:09:30.71
the place where they did
00:09:30.72\00:09:31.80
offer sweet savour
to all their idols.
00:09:31.81\00:09:35.47
So will I stretch
out my hand upon them,
00:09:35.48\00:09:38.21
and make the land desolate, yea,
00:09:38.22\00:09:40.72
more desolate than the
wilderness toward Diblath,
00:09:40.73\00:09:43.62
in all their habitations.
00:09:43.63\00:09:45.76
And they shall know
that I am the Lord."
00:09:45.77\00:09:49.30
Continuing in the
Book of Ezekiel Chapter 7
00:09:50.82\00:09:53.23
and this is the
King James Version.
00:09:53.24\00:09:54.82
"Moreover the word of
the Lord came unto me,
00:09:56.43\00:09:58.52
saying, also, thou son of man,
00:09:58.53\00:10:01.69
thus saith the Lord God
unto the land of Israel,
00:10:01.70\00:10:04.65
an end, the end is come upon
the four corners of the land.
00:10:04.66\00:10:09.81
Now is the end come upon thee,
00:10:09.82\00:10:11.77
and I will send
mine anger upon thee,
00:10:11.78\00:10:13.32
and will judge thee
according to thy ways,
00:10:13.33\00:10:15.33
and will recompense upon
thee all thine abominations.
00:10:15.34\00:10:19.43
And mine eye
shall not spare thee,
00:10:19.44\00:10:22.06
neither will I have pity.
00:10:22.07\00:10:23.77
But I will
recompense thy ways upon thee,
00:10:23.78\00:10:26.13
and thine abominations
shall be in the midst of thee.
00:10:26.14\00:10:28.87
And ye shall know
that I am the Lord.
00:10:28.88\00:10:31.15
Thus saith the
Lord God, an evil,
00:10:32.54\00:10:34.81
an only evil, behold, is come.
00:10:34.82\00:10:37.33
An end is come, the end is come.
00:10:37.34\00:10:39.92
It watcheth for
thee, behold, it is come.
00:10:39.93\00:10:43.01
The morning is
come unto thee, O thou
00:10:44.19\00:10:46.61
that dwellest in the
land, The time is come,
00:10:46.62\00:10:48.65
the day of trouble is near,
00:10:48.66\00:10:49.94
and not the sounding
again of the mountains.
00:10:49.95\00:10:53.49
Now will I shortly
pour out my fury upon thee,
00:10:53.50\00:10:56.34
and accomplish
mine anger upon thee,
00:10:56.35\00:10:58.12
and I will judge thee
according to thy ways,
00:10:58.13\00:11:00.68
and will recompense thee
for all thine abominations.
00:11:00.69\00:11:04.27
And mine eye shall not
spare, neither will I have pity.
00:11:04.28\00:11:07.93
I will recompense
thee according to thy ways
00:11:07.94\00:11:10.87
and thine abominations
that are in the midst of thee,
00:11:10.88\00:11:13.64
and ye shall know that I
am the Lord that smiteth.
00:11:13.65\00:11:18.06
Behold the day,
behold, it is come,
00:11:18.07\00:11:21.72
the morning is gone
forth, the rod hath blossomed,
00:11:21.73\00:11:25.61
pride hath budded
Violence is risen up
00:11:25.62\00:11:29.74
into a rod of wickedness,
00:11:29.75\00:11:31.83
none of them shall remain,
00:11:31.84\00:11:33.90
nor of their multitude,
nor of any of their's,
00:11:33.91\00:11:36.31
neither shall there
be wailing for them.
00:11:36.32\00:11:39.37
The time is come,
the day draweth near.
00:11:39.38\00:11:43.04
Let not the buyer
rejoice, nor the seller mourn,
00:11:43.05\00:11:47.52
for wrath is upon all
the multitude thereof.
00:11:47.53\00:11:51.52
For the seller shall not
return to that which is sold,
00:11:51.53\00:11:55.17
although they were yet alive,
00:11:55.18\00:11:57.65
for the vision is touching
the whole multitude thereof,
00:11:57.66\00:11:59.93
which shall not return,
00:11:59.94\00:12:01.65
neither shall any
strengthen himself
00:12:01.66\00:12:03.89
in the iniquity of his life.
00:12:03.90\00:12:06.08
They have blown the
trumpet, even to make all ready.
00:12:06.09\00:12:09.95
But none goeth to the battle,
00:12:09.96\00:12:12.12
for my wrath is upon
all the multitude thereof.
00:12:12.13\00:12:15.91
The sword is without,
00:12:15.92\00:12:17.89
and the pestilence
and the famine within.
00:12:17.90\00:12:20.65
He that is in the field
shall die with the sword,
00:12:20.66\00:12:22.96
and he that is in the city,
00:12:22.97\00:12:24.80
famine and
pestilence shall devour him.
00:12:24.81\00:12:27.98
But they that escape
of them shall escape,
00:12:27.99\00:12:30.52
and shall be on the mountains
like doves of the valleys,
00:12:30.53\00:12:33.31
all of them mourning,
every one for his iniquity.
00:12:33.32\00:12:37.85
All hands shall be feeble,
00:12:37.86\00:12:39.37
and all knees
shall be weak as water.
00:12:39.38\00:12:42.58
They shall also gird
themselves with sackcloth,
00:12:42.59\00:12:45.62
and horror shall cover them,
00:12:45.63\00:12:47.10
and shame shall
be upon all faces,
00:12:47.11\00:12:49.77
and baldness
upon all their heads.
00:12:49.78\00:12:53.19
They shall cast their
silver in the streets,
00:12:53.20\00:12:56.33
and their gold shall be removed.
00:12:56.34\00:12:58.87
Their silver and
their gold shall not be able
00:12:58.88\00:13:00.86
to deliver them, in the
day of the wrath of the Lord.
00:13:00.87\00:13:05.10
They shall not
satisfy their souls,
00:13:05.11\00:13:07.87
neither fill their
bowels, because it is
00:13:07.88\00:13:10.70
the stumblingblock
of their iniquity.
00:13:10.71\00:13:12.79
As for the
beauty of his ornament,
00:13:13.93\00:13:15.50
he set it in majesty.
00:13:15.51\00:13:17.21
But they made the
images of their abominations
00:13:17.22\00:13:19.80
and of their
detestable things therein.
00:13:19.81\00:13:22.81
Therefore have I
set it far from them.
00:13:22.82\00:13:26.74
And I will give
it into the hands
00:13:26.75\00:13:28.49
of the strangers for a prey,
00:13:28.50\00:13:31.05
and to the wicked of
the earth for a spoil,
00:13:31.06\00:13:33.70
and they shall pollute it.
00:13:33.71\00:13:35.51
My face, will I
turn also from them,
00:13:35.52\00:13:37.65
and they shall
pollute my secret place,
00:13:37.66\00:13:39.42
for the robbers shall
enter into it, and defile it.
00:13:39.43\00:13:42.52
Make a chain, for the
land is full of bloody crimes,
00:13:42.53\00:13:46.25
and the city is
full of violence.
00:13:46.26\00:13:48.82
Wherefore I will bring
the worst of the heathen,
00:13:48.83\00:13:51.47
and they shall
possess their houses.
00:13:51.48\00:13:53.72
I will also make the
pomp of the strong to cease,
00:13:53.73\00:13:56.37
and their holy
places shall be defiled.
00:13:56.38\00:13:59.78
Destruction cometh
and they shall seek peace,
00:13:59.79\00:14:02.46
and there shall be none.
00:14:02.47\00:14:04.28
Mischief shall
come upon mischief,
00:14:04.29\00:14:06.03
and rumour shall be upon rumour,
00:14:06.04\00:14:07.76
then shall they seek
a vision of the prophet.
00:14:07.77\00:14:10.20
But the law shall
perish from the priest,
00:14:10.21\00:14:12.63
and counsel from the ancients.
00:14:12.64\00:14:15.31
The king shall mourn,
00:14:15.32\00:14:17.38
and the prince shall be
clothed with desolation,
00:14:17.39\00:14:21.01
and the hands of the people
of the land shall be troubled.
00:14:21.02\00:14:25.21
I will do unto
them after their way,
00:14:25.22\00:14:26.99
and according to their
deserts will I judge them,
00:14:27.00\00:14:30.22
and they shall know
that I am the Lord."
00:14:30.23\00:14:35.30
Thank you, for joining
with me to read the word of God
00:14:35.31\00:14:37.64
and please join me
again next time, goodbye.
