Hello and welcome to
"His Words are Life."
00:00:16.27\00:00:19.01
I'm Kelly Mowrer and thank
you for joining with me today
00:00:19.02\00:00:21.66
to read the
word of God together.
00:00:21.67\00:00:23.62
Let's pray before we start.
00:00:23.63\00:00:25.99
Dear heavenly
Father, thank you so much
00:00:26.00\00:00:28.07
that we can come into Your
presence and hear Your words,
00:00:28.08\00:00:32.24
that You have preserve for
us right down to this time.
00:00:32.25\00:00:36.82
Please show us what
You have for us here
00:00:36.83\00:00:39.97
and teach us to walk
more closely with You.
00:00:39.98\00:00:42.24
We love Your and thank
you for loving us, amen.
00:00:42.25\00:00:46.14
We're reading in
the Book of Ezekiel.
00:00:46.15\00:00:48.21
This is Chapter 8 in
the King James Version.
00:00:48.22\00:00:53.01
"And it came to
pass in the sixth year,
00:00:53.02\00:00:55.41
in the sixth month, in
the fifth day of the month,
00:00:55.42\00:00:58.86
as I sat in mine house, and the
elders of Judah sat before me,
00:00:58.87\00:01:02.92
that the hand of the
Lord God fell there upon me.
00:01:02.93\00:01:06.64
Then I beheld, and lo a likeness
as the appearance of fire,
00:01:06.65\00:01:11.91
from the appearance of
his loins even downward, fire,
00:01:11.92\00:01:14.85
and from his loins even upward,
as the appearance of brightness,
00:01:14.86\00:01:18.07
as the color of amber.
00:01:18.08\00:01:19.17
And he put forth
the form of an hand,
00:01:19.18\00:01:21.92
and took me by a
lock of mine head,
00:01:21.93\00:01:24.39
and the spirit lifted me up
00:01:24.40\00:01:26.27
between the
earth and the heaven,
00:01:26.28\00:01:27.57
and brought me in the
visions of God to Jerusalem,
00:01:27.58\00:01:31.05
to the door of the inner gate
that looketh toward the north,
00:01:31.06\00:01:34.26
where was the seat of
the image of jealousy,
00:01:34.27\00:01:37.49
which provoketh to jealousy.
00:01:37.50\00:01:39.41
And, behold, the glory of
the God of Israel was there,
00:01:39.42\00:01:43.22
according to the vision
that I saw in the plain.
00:01:43.23\00:01:46.58
Then said he
unto me, Son of man,
00:01:46.59\00:01:48.92
lift up thine eyes now
the way toward the north.
00:01:48.93\00:01:53.07
So I lifted up mine eyes
the way toward the north,
00:01:53.08\00:01:55.99
and behold northward
at the gate of the altar
00:01:56.00\00:01:59.05
this image of
jealousy in the entry.
00:01:59.06\00:02:02.31
He said furthermore
unto me, Son of man,
00:02:02.32\00:02:05.76
seest thou what they do?
00:02:05.77\00:02:07.64
Even the great abominations
00:02:07.65\00:02:09.46
that the house of
Israel committeth here,
00:02:09.47\00:02:12.12
that I should go far
off from my sanctuary?
00:02:12.13\00:02:15.99
But turn thee yet again,
00:02:16.00\00:02:17.46
and thou shalt see
greater abominations.
00:02:17.47\00:02:20.76
And he brought me to
the door of the court,
00:02:20.77\00:02:22.35
and when I looked,
behold a hole in the wall.
00:02:22.36\00:02:27.57
Then said he unto me, Son
of man, dig now in the wall,
00:02:27.58\00:02:31.60
and when I had digged
in the wall, behold a door.
00:02:31.61\00:02:35.41
And he said unto
me, Go in, and behold
00:02:35.42\00:02:38.58
the wicked
abominations that they do here.
00:02:38.59\00:02:42.62
So I went in and
saw, and behold every form
00:02:42.63\00:02:46.53
of creeping things,
and abominable beasts,
00:02:46.54\00:02:50.37
and all the idols
of the house of Israel,
00:02:50.38\00:02:53.13
portrayed upon
the wall round about.
00:02:53.14\00:02:56.63
And there stood before them
00:02:56.64\00:02:57.78
seventy men of the
ancients of the house of Israel,
00:02:57.79\00:03:01.53
and in the midst of them stood
Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan,
00:03:01.54\00:03:06.45
with every man his
censer in his hand,
00:03:06.46\00:03:09.20
and a thick cloud
of incense went up.
00:03:09.21\00:03:12.76
Then said he unto me,
Son of man, hast thou seen
00:03:12.77\00:03:16.49
what the ancients of the
house of Israel do in the dark,
00:03:16.50\00:03:20.12
every man in the
chambers of his imagery?
00:03:20.13\00:03:23.88
For they say, the
Lord seeth us not,
00:03:23.89\00:03:27.63
the Lord hath
forsaken the earth.
00:03:27.64\00:03:30.98
He said also unto
me, Turn thee yet again,
00:03:30.99\00:03:34.58
and thou shalt see greater
abominations that they do.
00:03:34.59\00:03:38.74
Then he brought me to the door
of the gate of the Lord's house
00:03:38.75\00:03:41.89
which was toward
the north, and, behold,
00:03:41.90\00:03:45.40
there sat women
weeping for Tammuz.
00:03:45.41\00:03:50.27
Then said he unto me, hast
thou seen this, O son of man?
00:03:50.28\00:03:54.85
Turn thee yet
again, and thou shalt see
00:03:54.86\00:03:56.39
greater abominations than these.
00:03:56.40\00:03:59.63
And he brought me
into the inner court
00:03:59.64\00:04:01.34
of the Lord's
house, and, behold,
00:04:01.35\00:04:03.40
at the door of the
temple of the Lord,
00:04:03.41\00:04:05.54
between the porch and the altar,
00:04:05.55\00:04:07.53
were about five and twenty men,
00:04:07.54\00:04:09.17
with their backs
toward the temple of the Lord,
00:04:09.18\00:04:12.00
and their faces toward the east,
00:04:12.01\00:04:13.79
and they worshipped
the sun toward the east.
00:04:13.80\00:04:17.51
Then he said unto me, hast
thou seen this, O son of man?
00:04:17.52\00:04:21.45
Is it a light thing
to the house of Judah
00:04:21.46\00:04:24.30
that they
commit the abominations
00:04:24.31\00:04:25.89
which they commit here?
00:04:25.90\00:04:27.74
For they have filled
the land with violence,
00:04:27.75\00:04:30.75
and have returned
to provoke me to anger,
00:04:30.76\00:04:34.13
and, lo, they put
the branch to their nose.
00:04:34.14\00:04:38.40
Therefore will I
also deal in fury,
00:04:38.41\00:04:42.89
mine eye shall not
spare, neither will I have pity,
00:04:42.90\00:04:46.13
and though they cry in
mine ears with a loud voice,
00:04:46.14\00:04:50.11
yet will I not hear them.
00:04:50.12\00:04:52.97
"Continuing to read
in Ezekiel Chapter 9
00:04:52.98\00:04:55.59
and this is the
King James Version.
00:04:55.60\00:04:58.89
"He cried also in mine
ears with a loud voice, saying,
00:04:58.90\00:05:01.27
Cause them that have charge
over the city to draw near,
00:05:01.28\00:05:05.35
even every man with his
destroying weapon in his hand.
00:05:05.36\00:05:09.70
And, behold, six men came
from the way of the higher gate,
00:05:09.71\00:05:14.26
which lieth toward the north,
00:05:14.27\00:05:15.49
and every man a
slaughter weapon in his hand,
00:05:15.50\00:05:17.95
and one man among them
was clothed with linen,
00:05:17.96\00:05:21.35
with a writer's
inkhorn by his side,
00:05:21.36\00:05:23.60
and they went in, and
stood beside the brasen altar.
00:05:23.61\00:05:27.04
And the glory of the
God of Israel was gone up
00:05:27.05\00:05:29.50
from the cherub,
whereupon he was,
00:05:29.51\00:05:32.36
to the threshold of the house.
00:05:32.37\00:05:34.78
And he called to the
man clothed with linen,
00:05:34.79\00:05:37.01
which had the
writer's inkhorn by his side.
00:05:37.02\00:05:39.43
And the Lord said unto him,
00:05:39.44\00:05:40.81
go through the
midst of the city,
00:05:40.82\00:05:42.54
through the midst of Jerusalem,
00:05:42.55\00:05:43.72
and set a mark upon
the foreheads of the men
00:05:43.73\00:05:46.15
that sigh and that cry
for all the abominations
00:05:46.16\00:05:50.15
that be done in
the midst thereof.
00:05:50.16\00:05:52.99
And to the others he
said in mine hearing,
00:05:53.00\00:05:55.89
Go ye after him
through the city, and smite,
00:05:55.90\00:05:59.17
let not your eye
spare, neither have ye pity.
00:05:59.18\00:06:03.40
Slay utterly old
and young, both maids,
00:06:03.41\00:06:06.46
and little children, and women,
00:06:06.47\00:06:08.55
but come not near any man
00:06:08.56\00:06:11.03
upon whom is the mark,
and begin at my sanctuary.
00:06:11.04\00:06:16.13
Then they began
at the ancient men
00:06:16.14\00:06:18.16
which were before the house.
00:06:18.17\00:06:20.91
And he said unto
them, defile the house,
00:06:20.92\00:06:23.14
and fill the courts
with the slain, go ye forth.
00:06:23.15\00:06:27.05
And they went forth,
and slew in the city.
00:06:27.06\00:06:30.46
And it came to pass,
while they were slaying them,
00:06:30.47\00:06:33.23
and I was left,
that I fell upon my face,
00:06:33.24\00:06:35.64
and cried, and
said, Ah Lord God,
00:06:35.65\00:06:37.98
wilt thou destroy
all the residue of Israel
00:06:37.99\00:06:40.81
in thy pouring out of
thy fury upon Jerusalem?
00:06:40.82\00:06:44.81
Then said he unto me,
00:06:44.82\00:06:46.55
The iniquity of
the house of Israel
00:06:46.56\00:06:48.08
and Judah is exceeding great,
00:06:48.09\00:06:50.81
and the land is full of blood,
00:06:50.82\00:06:52.13
and the city
full of perverseness,
00:06:52.14\00:06:53.82
for they say, the Lord hath
00:06:53.83\00:06:55.54
forsaken the earth,
and the Lord seeth not.
00:06:55.55\00:07:00.02
And as for me also,
mine eye shall not spare,
00:07:00.03\00:07:03.37
neither will I have
pity, but I will recompense
00:07:03.38\00:07:06.24
their way upon their head.
00:07:06.25\00:07:08.93
And, behold, the
man clothed with linen,
00:07:08.94\00:07:11.24
which had the
inkhorn by his side,
00:07:11.25\00:07:14.08
reported the matter, saying,
00:07:14.09\00:07:16.39
I have done as
thou hast commanded me.
00:07:16.40\00:07:20.93
Continuing to read
in Ezekiel Chapter 10
00:07:20.94\00:07:23.28
and this is the
King James Version.
00:07:23.29\00:07:27.11
"Then I looked, and,
behold, in the firmament
00:07:27.12\00:07:30.14
that was above the
head of the cherubims
00:07:30.15\00:07:32.43
there appeared over them
as it were a sapphire stone,
00:07:32.44\00:07:36.55
as the appearance of
the likeness of a throne.
00:07:36.56\00:07:39.89
And he spake unto the
man clothed with linen,
00:07:39.90\00:07:42.34
and said, Go in
between the wheels,
00:07:42.35\00:07:45.24
even under the
cherub, and fill thine hand
00:07:45.25\00:07:48.76
with coals of fire
from between the cherubims,
00:07:48.77\00:07:51.89
and scatter them over the city.
00:07:51.90\00:07:54.56
And he went in, in my sight.
00:07:54.57\00:07:57.78
Now the cherubims stood on
the right side of the house,
00:07:57.79\00:08:01.13
when the man went in, and the
cloud filled the inner court.
00:08:01.14\00:08:04.89
Then the glory of the
Lord went up from the cherub,
00:08:04.90\00:08:07.51
and stood over the
threshold of the house,
00:08:07.52\00:08:09.47
and the house was filled with
the cloud, and the court was
00:08:09.48\00:08:12.65
full of the
brightness of the Lord's glory.
00:08:12.66\00:08:15.82
And the sound of
the cherubims' wings
00:08:15.83\00:08:17.86
was heard even
to the outer court,
00:08:17.87\00:08:20.60
as the voice of the
Almighty God, when he speaketh.
00:08:20.61\00:08:24.40
And it came to pass,
that when he had commanded
00:08:24.41\00:08:27.35
the man clothed
with linen, saying,
00:08:27.36\00:08:29.30
Take fire from
between the wheels,
00:08:29.31\00:08:31.47
from between the
cherubims, then he went in,
00:08:31.48\00:08:34.07
and stood beside the wheels.
00:08:34.08\00:08:36.42
And one cherub
stretched forth his hand
00:08:36.43\00:08:38.72
from between the cherubims
00:08:38.73\00:08:40.55
unto the fire that
was between the cherubims,
00:08:40.56\00:08:42.68
and took thereof, and
put it into the hands of him
00:08:42.69\00:08:45.92
that was clothed with linen,
who took it, and went out.
00:08:45.93\00:08:50.17
And there
appeared in the cherubims
00:08:50.18\00:08:52.04
the form of a man's
hand under their wings.
00:08:52.05\00:08:55.72
And when I looked, behold the
four wheels by the cherubims,
00:08:55.73\00:08:59.94
one wheel by one cherub,
00:08:59.95\00:09:01.89
and another wheel
by another cherub,
00:09:01.90\00:09:04.41
and the appearance of the wheels
00:09:04.42\00:09:06.39
was as the color
of a beryl stone.
00:09:06.40\00:09:10.20
And as for their appearances,
they four had one likeness,
00:09:10.21\00:09:14.95
as if a wheel had been
in the midst of a wheel.
00:09:14.96\00:09:18.61
When they went, they
went upon their four sides,
00:09:18.62\00:09:21.40
they turned not as they went,
00:09:21.41\00:09:23.61
but to the place whither the
head looked they followed it,
00:09:23.62\00:09:26.66
they turned not as they went.
00:09:26.67\00:09:28.73
And their whole
body, and their backs,
00:09:28.74\00:09:30.77
and their hands, and
their wings, and the wheels,
00:09:30.78\00:09:33.85
were full of eyes round about,
00:09:33.86\00:09:36.89
even the wheels
that they four had.
00:09:36.90\00:09:40.79
As for the wheels,
it was cried unto them
00:09:40.80\00:09:43.62
in my hearing, O wheel.
00:09:43.63\00:09:46.69
And every one had four faces,
00:09:46.70\00:09:48.94
the first face was
the face of a cherub,
00:09:48.95\00:09:51.48
and the second face
was the face of a man,
00:09:51.49\00:09:54.35
and the third
the face of a lion,
00:09:54.36\00:09:56.78
and the fourth
the face of an eagle.
00:09:56.79\00:09:59.78
And the
cherubims were lifted up.
00:09:59.79\00:10:01.91
This is the living creature that
I saw by the river of Chebar.
00:10:01.92\00:10:06.54
And when the cherubims
went, the wheels went by them,
00:10:06.55\00:10:10.43
and when the cherubims lifted up
00:10:10.44\00:10:11.78
their wings to
mount up from the earth,
00:10:11.79\00:10:14.13
the same wheels also
turned not from beside them.
00:10:14.14\00:10:18.22
When they stood, these stood,
and when they were lifted up,
00:10:18.23\00:10:21.77
these lifted up themselves also,
00:10:21.78\00:10:24.17
for the spirit of the
living creature was in them.
00:10:24.18\00:10:28.24
Then the glory
of the Lord departed
00:10:28.25\00:10:30.58
from off the
threshold of the house,
00:10:30.59\00:10:32.85
and stood over the cherubims.
00:10:32.86\00:10:35.07
And the cherubims
lifted up their wings,
00:10:35.08\00:10:36.95
and mounted up from
the earth in my sight,
00:10:36.96\00:10:40.01
when they went out, the
wheels also were beside them,
00:10:40.02\00:10:43.46
and every one stood at the door
00:10:43.47\00:10:45.25
of the east gate
of the Lord's house,
00:10:45.26\00:10:48.32
and the glory of
the God of Israel
00:10:48.33\00:10:50.31
was over them above.
00:10:50.32\00:10:52.75
This is the living
creature that I saw
00:10:52.76\00:10:55.12
under the God of
Israel by the river of Chebar,
00:10:55.13\00:10:57.88
and I knew that
they were the cherubims.
00:10:57.89\00:11:00.76
Everyone had four faces apiece,
and every one four wings,
00:11:00.77\00:11:06.07
and the likeness of the hands
of a man was under their wings.
00:11:06.08\00:11:08.79
And the likeness of
their faces was the same faces
00:11:08.80\00:11:11.87
which I saw by
the river of Chebar,
00:11:11.88\00:11:13.95
their
appearances and themselves,
00:11:13.96\00:11:16.27
they went every
one straight forward."
00:11:16.28\00:11:19.67
Continuing now to
read in Ezekiel Chapter 11
00:11:19.68\00:11:22.61
and this is the
King James Version.
00:11:22.62\00:11:26.15
"Moreover the
spirit lifted me up,
00:11:26.16\00:11:28.02
and brought me unto the
east gate of the Lord's house,
00:11:28.03\00:11:31.41
which looketh
eastward, and behold
00:11:31.42\00:11:34.06
at the door of the
gate five and twenty men,
00:11:34.07\00:11:38.11
among whom I saw
Jaazaniah the son of Azur,
00:11:38.12\00:11:42.66
and Pelatiah the son of
Benaiah, princes of the people.
00:11:42.67\00:11:46.71
Then said he
unto me, Son of man,
00:11:46.72\00:11:49.69
these are the men
that devise mischief,
00:11:49.70\00:11:52.76
and give wicked
counsel in this city.
00:11:52.77\00:11:55.51
Which say, it is not
near, let us build houses,
00:11:55.52\00:11:59.09
this city is the
caldron, and we be the flesh.
00:11:59.10\00:12:02.87
Therefore prophesy against
them, prophesy, O son of man.
00:12:02.88\00:12:08.33
And the Spirit of
the Lord fell upon me,
00:12:08.34\00:12:10.25
and said unto me,
Speak, Thus saith the Lord,
00:12:10.26\00:12:14.51
Thus have ye
said, O house of Israel,
00:12:14.52\00:12:16.40
for I know the things
that come into your mind,
00:12:16.41\00:12:19.12
every one of them.
00:12:19.13\00:12:20.94
Ye have multiplied
your slain in this city,
00:12:20.95\00:12:23.47
ye have filled the
streets thereof with the slain.
00:12:23.48\00:12:26.79
Therefore thus
saith the Lord God,
00:12:26.80\00:12:29.18
Your slain whom ye have
laid in the midst of it,
00:12:29.19\00:12:33.16
they are the flesh, and
this city is the caldron,
00:12:33.17\00:12:36.63
but I will bring you
forth out of the midst of it.
00:12:36.64\00:12:39.82
Ye have feared the sword,
00:12:39.83\00:12:42.20
and I will bring a sword
upon you, saith the Lord God.
00:12:42.21\00:12:46.03
And I will bring you
out of the midst thereof,
00:12:46.04\00:12:47.83
and deliver you into
the hands of strangers,
00:12:47.84\00:12:50.94
and will execute
judgments among you.
00:12:50.95\00:12:53.57
Ye shall fall by the sword,
00:12:53.58\00:12:55.66
I will judge you in
the border of Israel,
00:12:55.67\00:12:57.74
and ye shall know
that I am the Lord.
00:12:57.75\00:13:02.52
This city shall
not be your caldron,
00:13:02.53\00:13:06.23
neither shall ye be the
flesh in the midst thereof,
00:13:06.24\00:13:09.65
but I will judge you
in the border of Israel.
00:13:09.66\00:13:12.69
And ye shall know
that I am the Lord,
00:13:12.70\00:13:14.66
for ye have not
walked in my statutes,
00:13:14.67\00:13:16.71
neither executed my judgments,
00:13:16.72\00:13:18.47
but have done after the manners
00:13:18.48\00:13:19.90
of the heathen that
are round about you.
00:13:19.91\00:13:23.30
And it came to
pass, when I prophesied,
00:13:23.31\00:13:26.22
that Pelatiah the
son of Benaiah died.
00:13:26.23\00:13:29.24
Then fell I down upon my face,
and cried with a loud voice,
00:13:29.25\00:13:33.20
and said, ah Lord
God, wilt thou make
00:13:33.21\00:13:35.80
a full end of the
remnant of Israel?
00:13:35.81\00:13:39.34
Again the word of
the Lord came unto me,
00:13:39.35\00:13:41.18
saying, Son of man, thy
brethren, even thy brethren,
00:13:41.19\00:13:45.21
the men of thy kindred, and
all the house of Israel wholly,
00:13:45.22\00:13:48.65
are they unto
whom the inhabitants
00:13:48.66\00:13:50.65
of Jerusalem have said,
Get you far from the Lord,
00:13:50.66\00:13:53.88
unto us is this
land given in possession.
00:13:53.89\00:13:57.18
Therefore say,
thus saith the Lord God,
00:13:57.19\00:14:00.82
although I have cast them
far off among the heathen,
00:14:00.83\00:14:04.02
and although I have scattered
them among the countries,
00:14:04.03\00:14:06.98
yet will I be to
them as a little sanctuary
00:14:06.99\00:14:10.63
in the countries
where they shall come.
00:14:10.64\00:14:13.38
Therefore say,
thus saith the Lord God,
00:14:13.39\00:14:16.13
I will even gather
you from the people,
00:14:16.14\00:14:18.75
and assemble you
out of the countries
00:14:18.76\00:14:20.56
where ye have been scattered,
00:14:20.57\00:14:22.38
and I will give
you the land of Israel.
00:14:22.39\00:14:24.58
And they shall come thither,
and they shall take away
00:14:24.59\00:14:26.93
all the
detestable things thereof
00:14:26.94\00:14:28.97
and all the abominations
thereof from thence.
00:14:28.98\00:14:32.67
And I will give them one heart,
00:14:32.68\00:14:34.43
and I will put a
new spirit within you.
00:14:34.44\00:14:37.79
Please join me
again next time, goodbye.
