Hello and welcome to
"His Words Are Life."
00:00:15.98\00:00:18.33
I'm Kelly Mowrer
and today we're going
00:00:18.34\00:00:20.12
to be reading together
from the Book of Ezekiel.
00:00:20.13\00:00:22.78
But let's pray
together before we start.
00:00:22.79\00:00:25.76
Dear heavenly
Father, thank you so much
00:00:25.77\00:00:28.08
that You have redeemed
us, and You've called us
00:00:28.09\00:00:31.12
to a new life with You.
00:00:31.13\00:00:33.57
Please send Your Holy Spirit now
00:00:33.58\00:00:35.71
to guide our ears
as we hear Your words,
00:00:35.72\00:00:38.92
I pray in the
name of Jesus, amen.
00:00:38.93\00:00:41.81
We are reading in
Ezekiel Chapter 11,
00:00:41.82\00:00:44.48
picking up with verse 19
00:00:44.49\00:00:46.38
and this is the
King James Version.
00:00:46.39\00:00:49.47
"And I will give them one heart,
00:00:49.48\00:00:52.37
and I will put a
new spirit within you,
00:00:52.38\00:00:55.57
and I will take the
stony heart out of their flesh,
00:00:55.58\00:00:59.07
and will give
them an heart of flesh,
00:00:59.08\00:01:01.27
That they may
walk in my statutes,
00:01:01.28\00:01:03.69
and keep mine
ordinances, and do them,
00:01:03.70\00:01:06.87
and they shall be my
people, and I will be their God.
00:01:06.88\00:01:11.46
But as for them
whose heart walketh
00:01:11.47\00:01:13.63
after the heart of
their detestable things
00:01:13.64\00:01:15.87
and their abominations,
I will recompense their way
00:01:15.88\00:01:19.80
upon their own
heads, saith the Lord God.
00:01:19.81\00:01:24.08
Then did the
cherubims lift up their wings,
00:01:24.09\00:01:26.81
and the wheels beside them,
00:01:26.82\00:01:29.17
and the glory of
the God of Israel
00:01:29.18\00:01:31.27
was over them above.
00:01:31.28\00:01:33.57
And the glory
of the Lord went up
00:01:33.58\00:01:35.30
from the midst of the city,
and stood upon the mountain
00:01:35.31\00:01:38.39
which is on the
east side of the city.
00:01:38.40\00:01:41.27
Afterwards the
spirit took me up,
00:01:41.28\00:01:43.18
and brought me in a
vision by the Spirit of God
00:01:43.19\00:01:46.32
into Chaldea, to
them of the captivity.
00:01:46.33\00:01:49.11
So the vision that I
had seen went up from me.
00:01:49.12\00:01:53.01
Then I spake unto them of
the captivity all the things
00:01:53.02\00:01:56.87
that the Lord had shewed me."
00:01:56.88\00:02:00.02
Continuing in the
Book of Ezekiel Chapter 12
00:02:00.03\00:02:02.80
and this is the
King James Version.
00:02:02.81\00:02:05.81
"The word of the
Lord also came unto me,
00:02:05.82\00:02:07.91
saying, Son of
man, thou dwellest
00:02:07.92\00:02:11.46
in the midst of
a rebellious house,
00:02:11.47\00:02:14.17
which have eyes
to see, and see not,
00:02:14.18\00:02:18.18
they have ears to
hear, and hear not,
00:02:18.19\00:02:21.43
for they are a rebellious house.
00:02:21.44\00:02:23.83
Therefore, thou son of man,
00:02:23.84\00:02:25.78
prepare thee stuff for removing,
00:02:25.79\00:02:28.74
and remove by
day in their sight,
00:02:28.75\00:02:31.58
and thou shalt
remove from thy place
00:02:31.59\00:02:33.34
to another place in their sight,
00:02:33.35\00:02:34.97
it may be they will consider,
00:02:34.98\00:02:37.16
though they be a
rebellious house.
00:02:37.17\00:02:40.12
Then shalt thou
bring forth thy stuff
00:02:40.13\00:02:42.44
by day in their
sight, as stuff for removing,
00:02:42.45\00:02:45.31
and thou shalt go
forth at even in their sight,
00:02:45.32\00:02:48.72
as they that go
forth into captivity.
00:02:48.73\00:02:52.38
Dig thou through
the wall in their sight,
00:02:52.39\00:02:54.82
and carry out thereby.
00:02:54.83\00:02:56.76
In their sight shalt thou
bear it upon thy shoulders,
00:02:56.77\00:02:59.97
and carry it
forth in the twilight,
00:02:59.98\00:03:02.09
thou shalt cover thy face,
that thou see not the ground,
00:03:02.10\00:03:06.78
for I have set thee for a sign
00:03:06.79\00:03:08.65
unto the house of Israel.
00:03:08.66\00:03:12.08
And I did so as I was commanded,
00:03:12.09\00:03:14.00
I brought forth my stuff by day,
00:03:14.01\00:03:16.51
as stuff for
captivity, and in the even
00:03:16.52\00:03:18.58
I digged through
the wall with mine hand,
00:03:18.59\00:03:20.98
I brought it
forth in the twilight,
00:03:20.99\00:03:22.66
and I bare it upon my
shoulder in their sight.
00:03:22.67\00:03:25.47
And in the morning came
the word of the Lord unto me,
00:03:25.48\00:03:27.63
saying, Son of man,
hath not the house of Israel,
00:03:27.64\00:03:30.62
the rebellious
house, said unto thee,
00:03:30.63\00:03:32.59
what doest thou?
Say thou unto them.
00:03:32.60\00:03:36.82
Thus saith the Lord God,
00:03:36.83\00:03:38.99
This burden concerneth
the prince in Jerusalem,
00:03:39.00\00:03:42.41
and all the house of
Israel that are among them.
00:03:42.42\00:03:45.39
Say, I am your
sign, like as I have done,
00:03:45.40\00:03:49.67
so shall it be done unto them,
00:03:49.68\00:03:51.38
they shall remove
and go into captivity.
00:03:51.39\00:03:54.61
And the prince
that is among them
00:03:54.62\00:03:56.33
shall bear upon his
shoulder in the twilight,
00:03:56.34\00:03:58.96
and shall go forth,
they shall dig through
00:03:58.97\00:04:00.60
they shall dig through
the wall to carry out thereby,
00:04:00.61\00:04:04.18
he shall cover his face,
00:04:04.19\00:04:06.08
that he see not the
ground with his eyes.
00:04:06.09\00:04:09.54
My net also will
I spread upon him,
00:04:09.55\00:04:12.77
and he shall be
taken in my snare,
00:04:12.78\00:04:15.18
and I will bring him to Babylon
00:04:15.19\00:04:16.96
to the land of
the the Chaldeans,
00:04:16.97\00:04:19.63
yet shall he not see it,
though he shall die there.
00:04:19.64\00:04:23.31
And I will
scatter toward every wind
00:04:23.32\00:04:25.83
all that are
about him to help him,
00:04:25.84\00:04:28.15
and all his bands, and I will
draw out the sword after them.
00:04:28.16\00:04:33.10
And they shall
know that I am the Lord,
00:04:33.11\00:04:35.36
when I shall scatter
them among the nations,
00:04:35.37\00:04:37.45
and disperse
them in the countries.
00:04:37.46\00:04:40.17
But I will leave a few
men of them from the sword,
00:04:40.18\00:04:42.86
from the famine,
and from the pestilence,
00:04:42.87\00:04:45.35
that they may declare
all their abominations
00:04:45.36\00:04:48.02
among the heathen
whither they come,
00:04:48.03\00:04:50.63
and they shall
know that I am the Lord.
00:04:50.64\00:04:53.64
Moreover the word of
the Lord came to me, saying,
00:04:53.65\00:04:55.99
Son of man, eat
thy bread with quaking,
00:04:56.00\00:04:59.01
and drink thy
water with trembling
00:04:59.02\00:05:01.24
and with carefulness,
00:05:01.25\00:05:03.09
And say unto the
people of the land,
00:05:03.10\00:05:06.08
Thus saith the Lord God of
the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
00:05:06.09\00:05:09.43
and of the land of Israel,
They shall eat their bread
00:05:09.44\00:05:12.89
with carefulness, and drink
their water with astonishment,
00:05:12.90\00:05:15.60
that her land may be desolate
from all that is therein,
00:05:15.61\00:05:19.52
because of the violence of
all them that dwell therein.
00:05:19.53\00:05:23.00
And the cities that are
inhabited shall be laid waste,
00:05:23.01\00:05:26.42
and the land shall be desolate,
00:05:26.43\00:05:28.17
and ye shall know
that I am the Lord.
00:05:28.18\00:05:31.80
And the word of the Lord came
unto me, saying, Son of man,
00:05:31.81\00:05:34.66
what is that proverb that
ye have in the land of Israel,
00:05:34.67\00:05:37.46
saying, the days are prolonged,
and every vision faileth?
00:05:37.47\00:05:41.03
Tell them therefore,
Thus saith the Lord God,
00:05:41.04\00:05:44.21
I will make this
proverb to cease,
00:05:44.22\00:05:46.88
and they shall no more
use it as a proverb in Israel,
00:05:46.89\00:05:50.24
but say unto them,
The days are at hand,
00:05:50.25\00:05:52.91
and the effect of every vision.
00:05:52.92\00:05:54.62
For there shall be no more
any vain vision nor flattering
00:05:54.63\00:05:58.37
divination within
the house of Israel.
00:05:58.38\00:06:00.94
For I am the Lord, I will speak,
00:06:00.95\00:06:04.38
and the word that I
shall speak shall come to pass,
00:06:04.39\00:06:08.79
it shall be no more
prolonged, for in your days,
00:06:08.80\00:06:12.31
O rebellious house,
will I say the word,
00:06:12.32\00:06:14.75
and will perform
it, saith the Lord God.
00:06:14.76\00:06:18.56
Again the word of the
Lord came to me, saying.
00:06:18.57\00:06:20.81
Son of man, behold, they
of the house of Israel say,
00:06:20.82\00:06:24.23
the vision that he seeth
is for many days to come,
00:06:24.24\00:06:28.01
and he prophesieth of
the times that are far off.
00:06:28.02\00:06:32.72
Therefore say unto
them, Thus saith the Lord God,
00:06:32.73\00:06:36.44
There shall none of my
words be prolonged any more,
00:06:36.45\00:06:41.00
but the word which I
have spoken shall be done,
00:06:41.01\00:06:44.47
saith the Lord God."
00:06:44.48\00:06:47.10
Continuing to read
in Ezekiel Chapter 13,
00:06:47.11\00:06:49.98
this is the King James Version.
00:06:49.99\00:06:52.82
"And the word of the Lord came
unto me, saying, Son of man,
00:06:52.83\00:06:56.53
prophesy against the prophets
of Israel that prophesy,
00:06:56.54\00:07:00.21
and say thou unto them
that prophesy out of their
00:07:00.22\00:07:03.02
own hearts, Hear ye
the word of the Lord,
00:07:03.03\00:07:06.42
Thus saith the Lord God,
Woe unto the foolish prophets,
00:07:06.43\00:07:10.00
that follow their own
spirit, and have seen nothing!
00:07:10.01\00:07:14.47
O Israel, thy prophets are
like the foxes in the deserts.
00:07:14.48\00:07:18.44
Ye have not gone
up into the gaps,
00:07:18.45\00:07:20.54
neither made up the
hedge for the house of Israel
00:07:20.55\00:07:22.48
to stand in the battle
in the day of the Lord.
00:07:22.49\00:07:25.01
They have seen vanity
and lying divination, saying,
00:07:25.02\00:07:28.65
The Lord saith, and the
Lord hath not sent them,
00:07:28.66\00:07:32.87
and they have
made others to hope
00:07:32.88\00:07:34.93
that they would
confirm the word.
00:07:34.94\00:07:37.26
Have ye not seen a vain vision,
00:07:37.27\00:07:40.17
and have ye not
spoken a lying divination,
00:07:40.18\00:07:43.52
whereas ye say,
The Lord saith it,
00:07:43.53\00:07:46.80
albeit I have not spoken?
00:07:46.81\00:07:49.43
Therefore thus
saith the Lord God,
00:07:49.44\00:07:52.26
because ye have
spoken vanity, and seen lies,
00:07:52.27\00:07:55.98
therefore, behold, I am
against you, saith the Lord God.
00:07:55.99\00:07:59.78
And mine hand shall be upon
the prophets that see vanity,
00:07:59.79\00:08:03.17
and that divine
lies, they shall not be
00:08:03.18\00:08:06.53
in the assembly of my people,
neither shall they be written
00:08:06.54\00:08:10.16
in the writing of
the house of Israel,
00:08:10.17\00:08:11.94
neither shall they
enter into the land of Israel,
00:08:11.95\00:08:15.29
and ye shall know
that I am the Lord God.
00:08:15.30\00:08:18.98
Because, even because
they have seduced my people,
00:08:18.99\00:08:22.99
saying, Peace, and
there was no peace,
00:08:23.00\00:08:27.26
and one built
up a wall, and, lo,
00:08:27.27\00:08:29.08
others daubed it
with untempered morter,
00:08:29.09\00:08:31.70
Say unto them which daub
it with untempered morter,
00:08:31.71\00:08:35.83
that it shall fall,
there shall be an overflowing
00:08:35.84\00:08:39.18
shower, and ye, O
great hailstones, shall fall,
00:08:39.19\00:08:43.84
and a stormy wind shall rend it.
00:08:43.85\00:08:47.10
Lo, when the wall is fallen,
shall it not be said unto you,
00:08:47.11\00:08:52.74
Where is the daubing
wherewith ye have daubed it?
00:08:52.75\00:08:56.38
Therefore thus
saith the Lord God,
00:08:56.39\00:08:58.59
I will even rend it with
a stormy wind in my fury,
00:08:58.60\00:09:02.46
and there shall be
an overflowing shower
00:09:02.47\00:09:05.00
in mine anger,
00:09:05.01\00:09:06.01
and great hailstones
in my fury to consume it.
00:09:06.02\00:09:10.11
So will I break down
the wall that ye have daubed
00:09:10.12\00:09:12.92
with untempered morter, and
bring it down to the ground,
00:09:12.93\00:09:16.53
so that the foundation
thereof shall be discovered,
00:09:16.54\00:09:19.06
and it shall fall,
and ye shall be consumed
00:09:19.07\00:09:21.98
in the midst thereof,
00:09:21.99\00:09:23.61
and ye shall know
that I am the Lord.
00:09:23.62\00:09:27.97
Thus will I accomplish
my wrath upon the wall,
00:09:27.98\00:09:31.25
and upon them that have daubed
it with untempered morter,
00:09:31.26\00:09:34.53
and will say unto
you, The wall is no more,
00:09:34.54\00:09:37.29
neither they that daubed it,
00:09:37.30\00:09:39.37
To wit, the prophets of Israel
00:09:39.38\00:09:41.19
which prophesy
concerning Jerusalem,
00:09:41.20\00:09:43.65
and which see
visions of peace for her,
00:09:43.66\00:09:46.34
and there is no
peace, saith the Lord God.
00:09:46.35\00:09:49.40
Likewise, thou son
of man, set thy face
00:09:49.41\00:09:52.43
against the
daughters of thy people,
00:09:52.44\00:09:54.75
which prophesy out
of their own heart,
00:09:54.76\00:09:57.28
and prophesy thou
against them, And say,
00:09:57.29\00:09:59.16
Thus saith the Lord God, Woe
to the women that sew pillows
00:09:59.17\00:10:03.06
to all armholes,
and make kerchiefs
00:10:03.07\00:10:05.88
upon the head of
every stature to hunt souls!
00:10:05.89\00:10:09.82
Will ye hunt the
souls of my people,
00:10:09.83\00:10:12.92
and will ye save the
souls alive that come unto you?
00:10:12.93\00:10:16.22
And will ye pollute me
among my people for handfuls
00:10:16.23\00:10:19.79
of barley and
for pieces of bread,
00:10:19.80\00:10:22.71
to slay the souls
that should not die,
00:10:22.72\00:10:24.96
and to save the souls
alive that should not live,
00:10:24.97\00:10:27.85
by your lying to my
people that hear your lies?
00:10:27.86\00:10:32.79
Wherefore thus saith
the Lord God, Behold,
00:10:32.80\00:10:35.86
I am against your
pillows, wherewith ye
00:10:35.87\00:10:38.01
there hunt the
souls to make them fly,
00:10:38.02\00:10:40.71
and I will tear
them from your arms,
00:10:40.72\00:10:42.38
and will let the
souls go, even the souls
00:10:42.39\00:10:44.74
that ye hunt to make them fly.
00:10:44.75\00:10:47.60
Your kerchiefs also will I tear,
00:10:47.61\00:10:49.52
and deliver my
people out of your hand,
00:10:49.53\00:10:51.56
and they shall be no more
in your hand to be hunted,
00:10:51.57\00:10:54.89
and ye shall know
that I am the Lord.
00:10:54.90\00:10:58.66
Because with lies ye have made
the heart of the righteous sad,
00:10:58.67\00:11:02.93
whom I have not made
sad, and strengthened
00:11:02.94\00:11:06.13
the hands of the wicked,
00:11:06.14\00:11:07.57
that he should not
return from his wicked way,
00:11:07.58\00:11:10.06
by promising him
life, Therefore ye shall
00:11:10.07\00:11:12.83
see no more vanity,
nor divine divinations,
00:11:12.84\00:11:16.97
for I will deliver my
people out of your hand,
00:11:16.98\00:11:20.25
and ye shall know
that I am the Lord."
00:11:20.26\00:11:25.18
Continuing with
Ezekiel Chapter 14
00:11:25.19\00:11:27.13
and this is the
King James Version.
00:11:27.14\00:11:29.98
"Then came certain of
the elders of Israel unto me,
00:11:29.99\00:11:34.18
and sat before me.
00:11:34.19\00:11:36.25
And the word of the
Lord came unto me, saying,
00:11:36.26\00:11:38.77
Son of man,
these men have set up
00:11:38.78\00:11:41.64
their idols in their heart,
and put the stumbling block
00:11:41.65\00:11:45.67
of their iniquity
before their face,
00:11:45.68\00:11:48.59
should I be
enquired of at all by them?
00:11:48.60\00:11:52.24
Therefore speak unto
them, and say unto them,
00:11:52.25\00:11:53.82
Thus saith the Lord God,
Every man of the house of Israel
00:11:53.83\00:11:57.15
that setteth up
his idols in his heart,
00:11:57.16\00:11:59.06
and putteth the
stumbling block of his iniquity
00:11:59.07\00:12:01.39
before his face, and
cometh to the prophet,
00:12:01.40\00:12:04.76
I the Lord will
answer him that cometh
00:12:04.77\00:12:07.54
according to the
multitude of his idols,
00:12:07.55\00:12:10.68
That I may take the house
of Israel in their own heart,
00:12:10.69\00:12:13.70
because they are all estranged
from me through their idols.
00:12:13.71\00:12:18.82
Therefore say unto
the house of Israel,
00:12:18.83\00:12:20.86
Thus saith the Lord God, Repent,
00:12:20.87\00:12:24.26
and turn
yourselves from your idols,
00:12:24.27\00:12:26.63
and turn away your faces
from all your abominations.
00:12:26.64\00:12:31.08
For every one of
the house of Israel,
00:12:31.09\00:12:33.57
or of the stranger
that sojourneth in Israel,
00:12:33.58\00:12:36.76
which
separateth himself from me,
00:12:36.77\00:12:39.16
and setteth up his
idols in his heart,
00:12:39.17\00:12:41.27
and putteth the
stumbling block of his iniquity
00:12:41.28\00:12:43.58
before his face,
and cometh to a prophet
00:12:43.59\00:12:45.93
to enquire of him concerning me,
00:12:45.94\00:12:48.25
I the Lord will
answer him by myself,
00:12:48.26\00:12:51.39
And I will set my
face against that man,
00:12:51.40\00:12:53.83
and will make him
a sign and a proverb,
00:12:53.84\00:12:56.14
and I will cut him off
from the midst of my people,
00:12:56.15\00:12:59.24
and ye shall know
that I am the Lord.
00:12:59.25\00:13:04.04
And if the prophet be deceived
when he hath spoken a thing,
00:13:04.05\00:13:08.43
I the Lord have
deceived that prophet,
00:13:08.44\00:13:10.41
and I will stretch
out my hand upon him,
00:13:10.42\00:13:12.25
and will destroy him from
the midst of my people Israel.
00:13:12.26\00:13:15.80
And they shall bear the
punishment of their iniquity,
00:13:15.81\00:13:18.99
the punishment of the prophet
shall be even as the punishment
00:13:19.00\00:13:21.84
of him that seeketh unto him,
00:13:21.85\00:13:23.88
That the house of Israel
may go no more astray from me,
00:13:23.89\00:13:28.46
neither be polluted any more
with all their transgressions,
00:13:28.47\00:13:32.10
but that they may be my people,
00:13:32.11\00:13:34.55
and I may be their
God, saith the Lord God.
00:13:34.56\00:13:38.73
The word of the Lord
came again to me, saying,
00:13:38.74\00:13:41.16
Son of man, when the
land sinneth against me
00:13:41.17\00:13:44.20
by trespassing grievously,
then will I stretch out
00:13:44.21\00:13:47.85
mine hand upon it,
and will break the staff
00:13:47.86\00:13:50.17
of the bread thereof,
and will send famine upon it,
00:13:50.18\00:13:52.58
and will cut off
man and beast from it,
00:13:52.59\00:13:55.98
Though these three
men, Noah, Daniel, and Job,
00:13:55.99\00:13:59.42
were in it, they should
deliver but their own souls
00:13:59.43\00:14:02.40
by their righteousness,
saith the Lord God.
00:14:02.41\00:14:05.82
If I cause noisome
beasts to pass through the land,
00:14:05.83\00:14:08.78
and they spoil it,
so that it be desolate,
00:14:08.79\00:14:10.84
that no man may pass
through because of the beasts,
00:14:10.85\00:14:13.05
Though these three
men were in it, as I live,
00:14:13.06\00:14:15.84
saith the Lord God, they
shall deliver neither sons
00:14:15.85\00:14:18.84
nor daughters, they
only shall be delivered,
00:14:18.85\00:14:21.52
but the land shall be desolate.
00:14:21.53\00:14:23.91
Or if I bring a sword
upon that land, and say,
00:14:23.92\00:14:26.24
Sword, go through the
land, so that I cut off man
00:14:26.25\00:14:28.92
and beast from it,
Though these three men
00:14:28.93\00:14:31.35
were in it, as I
live, saith the Lord God,
00:14:31.36\00:14:33.89
they shall deliver
neither sons nor daughters,
00:14:33.90\00:14:36.98
but they only shall
be delivered themselves."
