Hello and welcome to "His Words are Life." 00:00:15.11\00:00:17.52 I'm Kelly Mowrer and today we'll continue 00:00:17.53\00:00:19.64 reading together from the Book of Ezekiel. 00:00:19.65\00:00:22.21 But first let's pray together. 00:00:22.22\00:00:24.32 Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your word 00:00:24.33\00:00:28.15 that we can come apart and be fed by now. 00:00:28.16\00:00:31.75 Please send Your Holy Spirit to open our hearts 00:00:31.76\00:00:34.80 and to plant these seeds of the truths 00:00:34.81\00:00:38.26 that we'll hear during this time, 00:00:38.27\00:00:40.21 so that they will bear much fruit to Your glory. 00:00:40.22\00:00:42.57 We love You so much and thank You 00:00:42.58\00:00:43.80 for loving us, amen. 00:00:43.81\00:00:46.22 We're picking up in Ezekiel Chapter 23, 00:00:46.23\00:00:50.33 starting with verse 28 00:00:50.34\00:00:51.97 and this is the King James Version. 00:00:51.98\00:00:54.85 "For thus saith the Lord God, behold, 00:00:54.86\00:00:57.82 I will deliver thee into the hand of them 00:00:57.83\00:01:00.48 whom thou hatest, into the hand of them 00:01:00.49\00:01:03.77 from whom thy mind is alienated. 00:01:03.78\00:01:07.23 And they shall deal with thee hatefully, 00:01:07.24\00:01:09.45 and shall take away all thy labor, 00:01:09.46\00:01:11.94 and shall leave thee naked and bare, 00:01:11.95\00:01:14.07 and the nakedness of thy whoredoms 00:01:14.08\00:01:16.32 shall be discovered, 00:01:16.33\00:01:18.02 both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms. 00:01:18.03\00:01:20.66 I will do these things unto thee, 00:01:20.67\00:01:22.55 because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, 00:01:22.56\00:01:26.05 and because thou art polluted with their idols. 00:01:26.06\00:01:29.80 Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister, 00:01:29.81\00:01:32.76 therefore will I give her cup into thine hand. 00:01:32.77\00:01:37.31 Thus saith the Lord God, 00:01:37.32\00:01:38.93 Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup 00:01:38.94\00:01:41.26 deep and large, 00:01:41.27\00:01:43.65 thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision, 00:01:43.66\00:01:47.60 it containeth much. 00:01:47.61\00:01:49.47 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, 00:01:49.48\00:01:52.82 with the cup of astonishment and desolation, 00:01:52.83\00:01:56.27 with the cup of thy sister Samaria. 00:01:56.28\00:01:59.68 Thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, 00:01:59.69\00:02:02.29 and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, 00:02:02.30\00:02:04.31 and pluck off thine own breasts, 00:02:04.32\00:02:05.96 for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. 00:02:05.97\00:02:09.20 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, 00:02:09.21\00:02:11.43 because thou hast forgotten me, 00:02:11.44\00:02:14.61 and cast me behind thy back, 00:02:14.62\00:02:18.14 therefore bear thou also thy lewdness 00:02:18.15\00:02:21.05 and thy whoredoms. 00:02:21.06\00:02:23.42 The Lord said moreover unto me, son of man, 00:02:23.43\00:02:27.35 wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? 00:02:27.36\00:02:31.29 Yea, declare unto them their abominations. 00:02:31.30\00:02:33.79 That they have committed adultery, 00:02:33.80\00:02:35.30 and blood is in their hands, 00:02:35.31\00:02:37.35 and with their idols have they committed adultery, 00:02:37.36\00:02:39.94 and have also caused their sons, 00:02:39.95\00:02:42.35 whom they bare unto me, 00:02:42.36\00:02:43.77 to pass for them through the fire, 00:02:43.78\00:02:46.51 to devour them. 00:02:46.52\00:02:48.74 Moreover this they have done unto me, 00:02:48.75\00:02:51.55 they have defiled my sanctuary 00:02:51.56\00:02:54.13 in the same day, and have profaned my Sabbaths. 00:02:54.14\00:02:58.44 For when they had slain their children 00:02:58.45\00:03:01.07 to their idols, then they came the same day 00:03:01.08\00:03:04.39 into my sanctuary to profane it, 00:03:04.40\00:03:07.30 and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house. 00:03:07.31\00:03:12.48 And furthermore, that ye have sent for men 00:03:12.49\00:03:15.85 to come from far, unto whom a messenger was sent, 00:03:15.86\00:03:20.44 and, lo, they came, for whom thou didst wash thyself, 00:03:20.45\00:03:26.21 paintedst thy eyes, 00:03:26.22\00:03:27.38 and deckedst thyself with ornaments. 00:03:27.39\00:03:29.29 And satest upon a stately bed, 00:03:29.30\00:03:33.01 and a table prepared before it, 00:03:33.02\00:03:35.04 whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil. 00:03:35.05\00:03:39.83 And a voice of a multitude being at ease 00:03:39.84\00:03:42.48 was with her, and with the men 00:03:42.49\00:03:44.83 of the common sort were brought Sabeans 00:03:44.84\00:03:47.98 from the wilderness, 00:03:47.99\00:03:49.04 which put bracelets upon their hands, 00:03:49.05\00:03:51.20 and beautiful crowns upon their heads. 00:03:51.21\00:03:53.91 Then said I unto her that was old in adulteries, 00:03:53.92\00:03:58.01 Will they now commit whoredoms with her, 00:03:58.02\00:04:00.58 and she with them? 00:04:00.59\00:04:03.09 Yet they went in unto her, 00:04:03.10\00:04:05.05 as they go in unto a woman that playeth the harlot, 00:04:05.06\00:04:08.74 so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, 00:04:08.75\00:04:13.69 the lewd women. 00:04:13.70\00:04:15.61 And the righteous men, they shall judge them 00:04:15.62\00:04:18.33 after the manner of adulteresses, 00:04:18.34\00:04:20.21 and after the manner of women that shed blood, 00:04:20.22\00:04:23.08 because they are adulteresses, 00:04:23.09\00:04:25.29 and blood is in their hands. 00:04:25.30\00:04:28.39 For thus saith the Lord God, 00:04:28.40\00:04:30.87 I will bring up a company upon them, 00:04:30.88\00:04:33.67 and will give them to be removed and spoiled. 00:04:33.68\00:04:37.04 And the company shall stone them with stones, 00:04:37.05\00:04:39.55 and dispatch them with their swords, 00:04:39.56\00:04:42.18 they shall slay their sons and their daughters, 00:04:42.19\00:04:44.86 and burn up their houses with fire. 00:04:44.87\00:04:47.30 Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, 00:04:47.31\00:04:50.26 that all women may be taught 00:04:50.27\00:04:52.24 not to do after your lewdness. 00:04:52.25\00:04:55.22 And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, 00:04:55.23\00:04:57.83 and ye shall bear the sins of your idols, 00:04:57.84\00:05:00.78 and ye shall know that I am the Lord God." 00:05:00.79\00:05:05.84 Continuing in the Book of Ezekiel Chapter 24, 00:05:05.85\00:05:09.48 and this is the King James Version. 00:05:09.49\00:05:12.55 "Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, 00:05:12.56\00:05:15.38 in the tenth day of the month, 00:05:15.39\00:05:17.59 the word of the Lord came unto me, saying. 00:05:17.60\00:05:20.36 Son of man, write thee the name of the day, 00:05:20.37\00:05:23.64 even of this same day, 00:05:23.65\00:05:25.68 the king of Babylon set himself 00:05:25.69\00:05:27.34 against Jerusalem this same day. 00:05:27.35\00:05:31.15 And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, 00:05:31.16\00:05:33.93 and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God, 00:05:33.94\00:05:36.51 Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it, 00:05:36.52\00:05:41.96 gather the pieces thereof into it, 00:05:41.97\00:05:43.86 even every good piece, 00:05:43.87\00:05:45.21 the thigh, and the shoulder, fill it with the choice bones. 00:05:45.22\00:05:49.21 Take the choice of the flock, 00:05:49.22\00:05:50.75 and burn also the bones under it, 00:05:50.76\00:05:52.68 and make it boil well, and let them seethe 00:05:52.69\00:05:55.76 the bones of it therein. 00:05:55.77\00:05:58.99 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God, 00:05:59.00\00:06:01.33 woe to the bloody city, 00:06:01.34\00:06:04.31 to the pot whose scum is therein, 00:06:04.32\00:06:07.04 and whose scum is not gone out of it. 00:06:07.05\00:06:09.64 Bring it out piece by piece, let no lot fall upon it. 00:06:09.65\00:06:14.84 For her blood is in the midst of her, 00:06:14.85\00:06:17.24 she set it upon the top of a rock, 00:06:17.25\00:06:19.37 she poured it not upon the ground, 00:06:19.38\00:06:21.06 to cover it with dust. 00:06:21.07\00:06:22.47 That it might cause fury to come up 00:06:22.48\00:06:24.04 to take vengeance, I have set her blood 00:06:24.05\00:06:26.31 upon the top of a rock, 00:06:26.32\00:06:27.60 that it should not be covered. 00:06:27.61\00:06:30.09 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, 00:06:30.10\00:06:31.79 Woe to the bloody city. 00:06:31.80\00:06:34.28 I will even make the pile for fire great. 00:06:34.29\00:06:37.27 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, 00:06:37.28\00:06:39.10 consume the flesh, and spice it well, 00:06:39.11\00:06:41.81 and let the bones be burned. 00:06:41.82\00:06:44.57 Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, 00:06:44.58\00:06:47.42 that the brass of it may be hot, 00:06:47.43\00:06:49.57 and may burn, and that the filthiness of it 00:06:49.58\00:06:52.15 may be molten in it, 00:06:52.16\00:06:54.00 that the scum of it may be consumed. 00:06:54.01\00:06:57.45 She hath wearied herself with lies, 00:06:57.46\00:07:00.07 and her great scum went not forth out of her, 00:07:00.08\00:07:02.91 her scum shall be in the fire. 00:07:02.92\00:07:06.04 In thy filthiness is lewdness, 00:07:06.05\00:07:08.87 because I have purged thee, 00:07:08.88\00:07:10.64 and thou wast not purged, 00:07:10.65\00:07:12.29 thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, 00:07:12.30\00:07:14.99 till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee. 00:07:15.00\00:07:19.47 I the Lord have spoken it, it shall come to pass, 00:07:19.48\00:07:23.09 and I will do it, I will not go back, 00:07:23.10\00:07:26.54 neither will I spare, neither will I repent, 00:07:26.55\00:07:30.19 according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, 00:07:30.20\00:07:34.11 shall they judge thee, saith the Lord God. 00:07:34.12\00:07:37.90 Also the word of the Lord came unto me, saying. 00:07:37.91\00:07:40.53 Son of man, behold, I take away from thee 00:07:40.54\00:07:45.16 the desire of thine eyes with a stroke, 00:07:45.17\00:07:48.42 yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, 00:07:48.43\00:07:51.09 neither shall thy tears run down. 00:07:51.10\00:07:53.04 Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, 00:07:53.05\00:07:56.96 bind the tire of thine head upon thee, 00:07:56.97\00:07:59.29 and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, 00:07:59.30\00:08:01.03 and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men. 00:08:01.04\00:08:05.20 So I spake unto the people in the morning, 00:08:05.21\00:08:06.97 and at even my wife died, 00:08:06.98\00:08:10.57 and I did in the morning as I was commanded. 00:08:10.58\00:08:13.73 And the people said unto me, 00:08:13.74\00:08:15.53 Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, 00:08:15.54\00:08:18.16 that thou doest so? 00:08:18.17\00:08:20.99 Then I answered them, 00:08:21.00\00:08:23.00 the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 00:08:23.01\00:08:25.07 speak unto the house of Israel, 00:08:25.08\00:08:26.83 Thus saith the Lord God, 00:08:26.84\00:08:29.37 behold, I will profane my sanctuary, 00:08:29.38\00:08:32.21 the Excellency of your strength, 00:08:32.22\00:08:34.19 the desire of your eyes, 00:08:34.20\00:08:35.75 and that which your soul pitieth, 00:08:35.76\00:08:38.55 and your sons and your daughters 00:08:38.56\00:08:39.98 whom ye have left shall fall by the sword. 00:08:39.99\00:08:43.32 And ye shall do as I have done, 00:08:43.33\00:08:45.04 ye shall not cover your lips, 00:08:45.05\00:08:46.77 nor eat the bread of men. 00:08:46.78\00:08:48.66 And your tires shall be upon your heads, 00:08:48.67\00:08:50.80 and your shoes upon your feet, 00:08:50.81\00:08:53.10 ye shall not mourn nor weep, 00:08:53.11\00:08:55.82 but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, 00:08:55.83\00:08:59.56 and mourn one toward another. 00:08:59.57\00:09:02.93 Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign, 00:09:02.94\00:09:06.50 according to all that he hath done 00:09:06.51\00:09:09.46 shall ye do, and when this cometh, 00:09:09.47\00:09:12.40 ye shall know that I am the Lord God. 00:09:12.41\00:09:16.79 Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day 00:09:16.80\00:09:19.56 when I take from them their strength, 00:09:19.57\00:09:22.07 the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, 00:09:22.08\00:09:26.00 and that whereupon they set their minds, 00:09:26.01\00:09:28.30 their sons and their daughters. 00:09:28.31\00:09:30.26 That he that escapeth in that day 00:09:30.27\00:09:31.95 shall come unto thee, 00:09:31.96\00:09:33.05 to cause thee to hear it with thine ears? 00:09:33.06\00:09:36.30 In that day shall thy mouth be opened 00:09:36.31\00:09:38.47 to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, 00:09:38.48\00:09:41.62 and be no more dumb, 00:09:41.63\00:09:43.20 and thou shalt be a sign unto them, 00:09:43.21\00:09:45.62 and they shall know that I am the Lord." 00:09:45.63\00:09:50.71 Continuing to read Ezekiel Chapter 25 00:09:50.72\00:09:53.62 and this is the King James Version. 00:09:53.63\00:09:56.66 "The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying. 00:09:56.67\00:10:00.27 Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, 00:10:00.28\00:10:02.84 and prophesy against them. 00:10:02.85\00:10:04.54 And say unto the Ammonites, 00:10:04.55\00:10:06.96 Hear the word of the Lord God, 00:10:06.97\00:10:09.05 thus saith the Lord God, because thou saidst, 00:10:09.06\00:10:12.08 Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned, 00:10:12.09\00:10:16.76 and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate, 00:10:16.77\00:10:19.95 and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity. 00:10:19.96\00:10:24.30 Behold, therefore I will deliver thee 00:10:24.31\00:10:28.21 to the men of the east for a possession, 00:10:28.22\00:10:31.13 and they shall set their palaces in thee, 00:10:31.14\00:10:33.12 and make their dwellings in thee, 00:10:33.13\00:10:35.32 they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk. 00:10:35.33\00:10:39.25 And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, 00:10:39.26\00:10:42.63 and the Ammonites a couching place for flocks, 00:10:42.64\00:10:46.17 and ye shall know that I am the Lord. 00:10:46.18\00:10:50.08 For thus saith the Lord God, 00:10:50.09\00:10:52.55 because thou hast clapped thine hands, 00:10:52.56\00:10:54.73 and stamped with the feet, 00:10:54.74\00:10:56.15 and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite 00:10:56.16\00:11:00.70 against the land of Israel. 00:11:00.71\00:11:02.98 Behold, therefore I will stretch out 00:11:02.99\00:11:04.78 mine hand upon thee, 00:11:04.79\00:11:06.98 and will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen, 00:11:06.99\00:11:09.48 and I will cut thee off from the people, 00:11:09.49\00:11:11.51 and I will cause thee to perish 00:11:11.52\00:11:12.91 out of the countries, 00:11:12.92\00:11:14.66 I will destroy thee, and thou shalt know 00:11:14.67\00:11:17.39 that I am the Lord. 00:11:17.40\00:11:19.93 Thus saith the Lord God, 00:11:19.94\00:11:21.62 because that Moab and Seir do say, behold, 00:11:21.63\00:11:26.42 the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen. 00:11:26.43\00:11:30.74 Therefore, behold, 00:11:30.75\00:11:32.19 I will open the side of Moab from the cities, 00:11:32.20\00:11:35.38 from his cities which are on his frontiers, 00:11:35.39\00:11:38.48 the glory of the country, 00:11:38.49\00:11:40.21 Bethjeshimoth, Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim. 00:11:40.22\00:11:45.46 Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, 00:11:45.47\00:11:47.24 and will give them in possession, 00:11:47.25\00:11:49.35 that the Ammonites may not be remembered 00:11:49.36\00:11:51.40 among the nations. 00:11:51.41\00:11:52.40 And I will execute judgments upon Moab, 00:11:52.41\00:11:55.34 and they shall know that I am the Lord. 00:11:55.35\00:11:59.91 Thus saith the Lord God, 00:11:59.92\00:12:01.94 because that Edom hath dealt 00:12:01.95\00:12:04.48 against the house of Judah 00:12:04.49\00:12:06.20 by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, 00:12:06.21\00:12:09.85 and revenged himself upon them. 00:12:09.86\00:12:13.23 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, 00:12:13.24\00:12:16.20 I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, 00:12:16.21\00:12:19.92 and will cut off man and beast from it, 00:12:19.93\00:12:23.71 and I will make it desolate from Teman, 00:12:23.72\00:12:25.50 and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword. 00:12:25.51\00:12:28.17 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom 00:12:28.18\00:12:31.52 by the hand of my people Israel, 00:12:31.53\00:12:34.27 and they shall do in Edom 00:12:34.28\00:12:35.70 according to mine anger and according to my fury, 00:12:35.71\00:12:38.11 and they shall know my vengeance, 00:12:38.12\00:12:39.56 saith the Lord God. 00:12:39.57\00:12:42.05 Thus saith the Lord God, 00:12:42.06\00:12:43.43 because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, 00:12:43.44\00:12:46.72 and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, 00:12:46.73\00:12:49.32 to destroy it for the old hatred. 00:12:49.33\00:12:51.54 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, behold, 00:12:51.55\00:12:53.65 I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, 00:12:53.66\00:12:56.29 and I will cut off the Cherethims, 00:12:56.30\00:12:58.64 and will destroy the remnant of the sea coast. 00:12:58.65\00:13:02.09 And I will execute great vengeance upon them 00:13:02.10\00:13:04.80 with furious rebukes, and they shall know 00:13:04.81\00:13:08.06 that I am the Lord, 00:13:08.07\00:13:09.78 when I shall lay my vengeance upon them." 00:13:09.79\00:13:13.26 Continuing in Ezekiel Chapter 26 00:13:13.27\00:13:15.99 and this is the King James Version. 00:13:16.00\00:13:19.02 "And it came to pass in the eleventh year, 00:13:19.03\00:13:21.35 in the first day of the month, 00:13:21.36\00:13:22.70 that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying. 00:13:22.71\00:13:26.12 Son of man, because that Tyrus 00:13:26.13\00:13:30.09 hath said against Jerusalem, 00:13:30.10\00:13:32.28 Aha, she is broken 00:13:32.29\00:13:34.05 that was the gates of the people, 00:13:34.06\00:13:36.27 she is turned unto me, 00:13:36.28\00:13:38.19 I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste. 00:13:38.20\00:13:43.00 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, behold, 00:13:43.01\00:13:46.17 I am against thee, O Tyrus, 00:13:46.18\00:13:48.32 and will cause many nations to come up against thee, 00:13:48.33\00:13:51.33 as the sea causeth his waves to come up. 00:13:51.34\00:13:54.61 And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, 00:13:54.62\00:13:56.60 and break down her towers, 00:13:56.61\00:13:58.51 I will also scrape her dust from her, 00:13:58.52\00:14:00.62 and make her like the top of a rock. 00:14:00.63\00:14:03.03 It shall be a place for the spreading of nets 00:14:03.04\00:14:05.24 in the midst of the sea, 00:14:05.25\00:14:07.06 for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God, 00:14:07.07\00:14:09.42 and it shall become a spoil to the nations. 00:14:09.43\00:14:12.31 And her daughters which are in the field 00:14:12.32\00:14:14.78 shall be slain by the sword, 00:14:14.79\00:14:16.76 and they shall know that I am the Lord. 00:14:16.77\00:14:20.35 For thus saith the Lord God, 00:14:20.36\00:14:21.92 Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar 00:14:21.93\00:14:25.30 king of Babylon, a king of kings, 00:14:25.31\00:14:27.66 from the north, with horses, 00:14:27.67\00:14:29.18 and with chariots, and with horsemen, 00:14:29.19\00:14:31.61 and companies, and much people." 00:14:31.62\00:14:35.25
