Hello, and welcome
to "His Words are Life."
00:00:15.26\00:00:17.47
I'm Kelly Mowrer and today
00:00:17.48\00:00:19.21
we're reading together
from the Book of Ezekiel.
00:00:19.22\00:00:22.13
But let's pray before we start.
00:00:22.14\00:00:24.30
Dear Heavenly
Father, thank you so much
00:00:24.31\00:00:27.10
for this opportunity to
sit and to hear Your word,
00:00:27.11\00:00:31.56
which is life to us
and a light to our path
00:00:31.57\00:00:35.65
and gives us
the strength to walk
00:00:35.66\00:00:37.49
and the wisdom to
know how to do it.
00:00:37.50\00:00:39.26
Please, be with
us as we read now
00:00:39.27\00:00:41.70
pray in the name of Jesus, amen.
00:00:41.71\00:00:44.84
We're reading in
Ezekiel Chapter 32.
00:00:44.85\00:00:48.17
"And God is
prophesying against Pharaoh,
00:00:48.18\00:00:51.15
King of Egypt.
00:00:51.16\00:00:52.91
Picking up in verse 4
00:00:52.92\00:00:54.05
and this is the
King James Version.
00:00:54.06\00:00:57.04
Then will I leave
thee upon the land,
00:00:57.05\00:00:59.76
I will cast thee
forth upon the open field,
00:00:59.77\00:01:03.25
and will cause all the fowls
00:01:03.26\00:01:05.60
of the heaven to
remain upon thee,
00:01:05.61\00:01:07.42
and I will fill the beasts
of the whole earth with thee.
00:01:07.43\00:01:11.26
And I will lay thy
flesh upon the mountains,
00:01:11.27\00:01:13.74
and fill the
valleys with thy height.
00:01:13.75\00:01:16.59
I will also water with thy blood
00:01:16.60\00:01:19.09
the land wherein thou swimmest,
00:01:19.10\00:01:21.34
even to the
mountains, and the rivers
00:01:21.35\00:01:22.94
shall be full of thee.
00:01:22.95\00:01:24.86
And when I shall put thee out,
00:01:24.87\00:01:26.22
I will cover the heaven,
00:01:26.23\00:01:27.39
and make the stars thereof dark,
00:01:27.40\00:01:30.38
I will cover the
sun with a cloud,
00:01:30.39\00:01:31.93
and the moon shall
not give her light.
00:01:31.94\00:01:35.34
All the bright lights of heaven
00:01:35.35\00:01:37.59
will I make dark over thee,
00:01:37.60\00:01:38.95
and set darkness upon thy land,
00:01:38.96\00:01:41.76
saith the Lord God.
00:01:41.77\00:01:43.63
I will also vex the
hearts of many people,
00:01:43.64\00:01:46.22
when I shall
bring thy destruction
00:01:46.23\00:01:48.17
among the nations,
00:01:48.18\00:01:49.67
into the countries
which thou hast not known.
00:01:49.68\00:01:53.46
Yea, I will make many
people amazed at thee,
00:01:53.47\00:01:56.53
and their kings shall be
horribly afraid for thee,
00:01:56.54\00:01:59.92
when I shall
brandish my sword before them,
00:01:59.93\00:02:03.08
and they shall
tremble at every moment,
00:02:03.09\00:02:05.82
every man for his own
life, in the day of thy fall.
00:02:05.83\00:02:10.57
For thus saith the Lord God,
00:02:10.58\00:02:12.07
The sword of the king of Babylon
00:02:12.08\00:02:13.48
shall come upon thee.
00:02:13.49\00:02:15.14
By the swords of the mighty
00:02:15.15\00:02:16.44
will I cause thy
multitude to fall,
00:02:16.45\00:02:18.74
the terrible of the
nations, all of them,
00:02:18.75\00:02:21.11
and they shall
spoil the pomp of Egypt,
00:02:21.12\00:02:23.53
and all the multitude
thereof shall be destroyed.
00:02:23.54\00:02:27.40
I will destroy also
all the beasts thereof
00:02:27.41\00:02:29.66
from beside the great waters,
00:02:29.67\00:02:31.71
neither shall the foot of
man trouble them any more,
00:02:31.72\00:02:35.18
nor the hoofs of
beasts trouble them.
00:02:35.19\00:02:38.07
Then will I make
their waters deep,
00:02:38.08\00:02:40.16
and cause their
rivers to run like oil,
00:02:40.17\00:02:42.68
saith the Lord God.
00:02:42.69\00:02:44.80
When I shall make the
land of Egypt desolate,
00:02:44.81\00:02:47.27
and the country shall be
destitute of that whereof
00:02:47.28\00:02:50.85
it was full,
00:02:50.86\00:02:52.45
when I shall smite all
them that dwell therein,
00:02:52.46\00:02:56.21
then shall they
know that I am the Lord.
00:02:56.22\00:03:00.26
This is the
lamentation wherewith they shall
00:03:00.27\00:03:02.48
lament her,
00:03:02.49\00:03:03.79
the daughters of the
nations shall lament her,
00:03:03.80\00:03:06.31
they shall lament
for her, even for Egypt,
00:03:06.32\00:03:09.48
and for all her
multitude, saith the Lord God.
00:03:09.49\00:03:13.87
It came to pass
also in the twelfth year,
00:03:13.88\00:03:16.07
in the fifteenth
day of the month,
00:03:16.08\00:03:18.11
that the word of the
Lord came unto me, saying,
00:03:18.12\00:03:22.31
Son of man,
00:03:22.32\00:03:23.92
wail for the multitude of Egypt,
00:03:23.93\00:03:26.32
and cast them down, even her,
00:03:26.33\00:03:28.10
and the daughters
of the famous nations,
00:03:28.11\00:03:30.41
unto the nether
parts of the earth,
00:03:30.42\00:03:32.24
with them that go
down into the pit.
00:03:32.25\00:03:35.45
Whom dost thou pass in beauty?
00:03:35.46\00:03:38.08
Go down, and be thou
laid with the uncircumcised.
00:03:38.09\00:03:41.70
They shall fall in the
midst of them that are slain
00:03:41.71\00:03:44.16
by the sword, she is
delivered to the sword,
00:03:44.17\00:03:47.53
draw her and all her multitudes.
00:03:47.54\00:03:51.01
The strong among the
mighty shall speak to him
00:03:51.02\00:03:53.40
out of the midst of
hell with them that help him,
00:03:53.41\00:03:55.70
they are gone down,
they lie uncircumcised,
00:03:55.71\00:03:59.52
slain by the sword.
00:03:59.53\00:04:02.48
Asshur is there
and all her company,
00:04:02.49\00:04:04.91
his graves are about
him, all of them slain,
00:04:04.92\00:04:07.77
fallen by the sword.
00:04:07.78\00:04:10.63
Whose graves are set
in the sides of the pit,
00:04:10.64\00:04:12.62
and her company is
round about her grave,
00:04:12.63\00:04:15.98
all of them slain,
fallen by the sword,
00:04:15.99\00:04:18.87
which caused terror in
the land of the living.
00:04:18.88\00:04:22.00
There is Elam
and all her multitude
00:04:22.01\00:04:23.94
round about her
grave, all of them slain,
00:04:23.95\00:04:26.41
fallen by the sword,
00:04:26.42\00:04:28.24
which are gone
down uncircumcised
00:04:28.25\00:04:30.39
into the nether
parts of the earth,
00:04:30.40\00:04:32.26
which caused their terror
in the land of the living,
00:04:32.27\00:04:35.11
yet have they borne
their shame with them
00:04:35.12\00:04:37.32
that go down to the pit.
00:04:37.33\00:04:39.40
They have set her a bed
in the midst of the slain
00:04:39.41\00:04:41.85
with all her multitude,
00:04:41.86\00:04:43.65
her graves are round about him,
00:04:43.66\00:04:46.18
all of them uncircumcised,
slain by the sword,
00:04:46.19\00:04:49.47
though their terror was caused
00:04:49.48\00:04:51.06
in the land of the living,
00:04:51.07\00:04:52.11
yet have they borne
their shame with them
00:04:52.12\00:04:54.57
that go down to the pit,
00:04:54.58\00:04:56.57
he is put in the
midst of them that be slain.
00:04:56.58\00:04:59.72
There is Meshech,
Tubal, and all her multitude,
00:04:59.73\00:05:03.46
her graves are round about him,
00:05:03.47\00:05:04.79
all of them uncircumcised,
slain by the sword,
00:05:04.80\00:05:07.91
though they caused their terror
00:05:07.92\00:05:09.31
in the land of the living.
00:05:09.32\00:05:11.45
And they shall not
lie with the mighty
00:05:11.46\00:05:13.30
that are fallen
of the uncircumcised,
00:05:13.31\00:05:15.04
which are gone down to
hell with their weapons of war,
00:05:15.05\00:05:18.44
and they have laid their swords
00:05:18.45\00:05:19.83
under their heads,
00:05:19.84\00:05:20.81
but their iniquities
shall be upon their bones,
00:05:20.82\00:05:23.87
though they were
the terror of the mighty
00:05:23.88\00:05:26.22
in the land of the living.
00:05:26.23\00:05:28.44
Yea, thou shalt be broken
00:05:28.45\00:05:29.95
in the midst of
the uncircumcised,
00:05:29.96\00:05:31.80
and shalt lie with them
that are slain with the sword.
00:05:31.81\00:05:35.56
There is Edom, her
kings, and all her princes,
00:05:35.57\00:05:39.68
which with their
might are laid by them
00:05:39.69\00:05:42.20
that were slain by the sword,
00:05:42.21\00:05:44.00
they shall lie
with the uncircumcised,
00:05:44.01\00:05:45.59
and with them that
go down to the pit.
00:05:45.60\00:05:48.99
There be the
princes of the north,
00:05:49.00\00:05:50.82
all of them, and
all the Zidonians,
00:05:50.83\00:05:52.92
which are gone
down with the slain,
00:05:52.93\00:05:55.32
with their terror they
are ashamed of their might,
00:05:55.33\00:05:58.77
and they lie uncircumcised
with them that be slain
00:05:58.78\00:06:01.87
by the sword,
00:06:01.88\00:06:02.85
and bear their shame with them
00:06:02.86\00:06:04.77
that go down to the pit.
00:06:04.78\00:06:06.73
Pharaoh shall see them,
00:06:06.74\00:06:08.98
and shall be comforted
over all his multitude,
00:06:08.99\00:06:11.09
even Pharaoh and
all his army slain
00:06:11.10\00:06:13.75
by the sword,
saith the Lord God.
00:06:13.76\00:06:16.59
For I have caused my terror
in the land of the living,
00:06:16.60\00:06:20.48
and he shall be laid in
the midst of the uncircumcised
00:06:20.49\00:06:23.40
with them that are
slain with the sword,
00:06:23.41\00:06:25.31
even Pharaoh and
all his multitude,
00:06:25.32\00:06:27.50
saith the Lord God."
00:06:27.51\00:06:30.62
Continuing in the
Book of Ezekiel Chapter 33,
00:06:30.63\00:06:34.63
and this is the
King James Version.
00:06:34.64\00:06:38.04
"Again the word of the
Lord came unto me, saying,
00:06:38.05\00:06:41.19
Son of man, speak to
the children of thy people,
00:06:41.20\00:06:44.34
and say unto them,
00:06:44.35\00:06:45.84
When I bring the
sword upon a land,
00:06:45.85\00:06:48.46
if the people of the land
take a man of their coasts,
00:06:48.47\00:06:52.29
and set him for their watchman.
00:06:52.30\00:06:54.41
If when he seeth the
sword come upon the land,
00:06:54.42\00:06:57.35
he blow the
trumpet, and warn the people.
00:06:57.36\00:07:00.91
Then whosoever heareth
the sound of the trumpet,
00:07:00.92\00:07:03.59
and taketh not
warning, if the sword come,
00:07:03.60\00:07:06.07
and take him away,
00:07:06.08\00:07:07.05
his blood shall
be upon his own head.
00:07:07.06\00:07:09.34
He heard the
sound of the trumpet,
00:07:09.35\00:07:10.62
and took not warning,
his blood shall be upon him.
00:07:10.63\00:07:14.59
But he that taketh
warning shall deliver his soul.
00:07:14.60\00:07:19.57
But if the
watchman see the sword come,
00:07:19.58\00:07:22.35
and blow not the trumpet,
00:07:22.36\00:07:24.81
and the people be not warned,
00:07:24.82\00:07:27.28
if the sword come,
00:07:27.29\00:07:28.29
and take any
person from among them,
00:07:28.30\00:07:30.25
he is taken
away in his iniquity,
00:07:30.26\00:07:33.52
but his blood will I
require at the watchman's hand.
00:07:33.53\00:07:38.67
So thou, O son of man,
00:07:38.68\00:07:41.07
I have set thee a watchman
unto the house of Israel,
00:07:41.08\00:07:44.82
therefore thou shalt
hear the word at my mouth,
00:07:44.83\00:07:47.61
and warn them from me.
00:07:47.62\00:07:50.58
When I say unto the wicked,
00:07:50.59\00:07:52.08
O wicked man,
thou shalt surely die,
00:07:52.09\00:07:55.27
if thou dost not speak to warn
00:07:55.28\00:07:57.41
the wicked from his way,
00:07:57.42\00:07:59.71
that wicked man
shall die in his iniquity,
00:07:59.72\00:08:01.68
but his blood will I
require at thine hand.
00:08:01.69\00:08:06.79
Nevertheless, if thou
warn the wicked of his way
00:08:06.80\00:08:09.90
to turn from it,
00:08:09.91\00:08:11.57
if he do not turn from his way,
00:08:11.58\00:08:14.14
he shall die in his iniquity,
00:08:14.15\00:08:16.50
but thou hast
delivered thy soul.
00:08:16.51\00:08:20.00
Therefore, O thou son of man,
00:08:20.01\00:08:21.93
speak unto the house of Israel,
00:08:21.94\00:08:24.34
Thus ye speak, saying,
00:08:24.35\00:08:26.84
If our transgressions
and our sins be upon us,
00:08:26.85\00:08:30.49
and we pine away in
them, how should we then live?
00:08:30.50\00:08:36.02
Say unto them, As I
live, saith the Lord God,
00:08:36.03\00:08:38.75
I have no pleasure in
the death of the wicked,
00:08:38.76\00:08:41.97
but that the wicked
turn from his way and live,
00:08:41.98\00:08:45.02
turn ye, turn ye
from your evil ways,
00:08:45.03\00:08:48.04
for why will ye
die, O house of Israel?
00:08:48.05\00:08:51.63
Therefore, thou son of man,
00:08:51.64\00:08:53.00
say unto the
children of thy people,
00:08:53.01\00:08:55.71
The
righteousness of the righteous
00:08:55.72\00:08:57.92
shall not deliver him in
the day of his transgression,
00:08:57.93\00:09:01.27
as for the
wickedness of the wicked,
00:09:01.28\00:09:03.03
he shall not fall
thereby in the day
00:09:03.04\00:09:05.41
that he turneth
from his wickedness,
00:09:05.42\00:09:08.02
neither shall the
righteous be able to live
00:09:08.03\00:09:09.68
for his righteousness
in the day that he sinneth.
00:09:09.69\00:09:12.85
When I shall say
to the righteous,
00:09:12.86\00:09:14.80
that he shall surely live,
00:09:14.81\00:09:17.26
if he trust to
his own righteousness,
00:09:17.27\00:09:19.23
and commit iniquity,
00:09:19.24\00:09:20.98
all his righteousnesses
shall not be remembered,
00:09:20.99\00:09:24.24
but for his iniquity
that he hath committed,
00:09:24.25\00:09:26.28
he shall die for it.
00:09:26.29\00:09:28.33
Again, when I
say unto the wicked,
00:09:28.34\00:09:30.34
Thou shalt surely die,
00:09:30.35\00:09:32.44
if he turned away from his sin,
00:09:32.45\00:09:35.42
and do that which
is lawful and right.
00:09:35.43\00:09:38.95
If the wicked
restore the pledge,
00:09:38.96\00:09:41.43
give again that he had robbed,
00:09:41.44\00:09:43.76
walk in the statutes of life,
00:09:43.77\00:09:45.71
without committing iniquity,
00:09:45.72\00:09:47.73
he shall surely
live, he shall not die.
00:09:47.74\00:09:51.42
None of his sins
that he hath committed
00:09:51.43\00:09:53.45
shall be mentioned unto him,
00:09:53.46\00:09:56.23
he hath done that
which is lawful and right,
00:09:56.24\00:09:58.76
he shall surely live.
00:09:58.77\00:10:01.47
Yet the children
of thy people say,
00:10:01.48\00:10:03.59
The way of the
Lord is not equal,
00:10:03.60\00:10:06.41
but as for them,
their way is not equal.
00:10:06.42\00:10:09.60
When the righteous
turneth from his righteousness,
00:10:09.61\00:10:11.66
and committeth iniquity,
he shall even die thereby.
00:10:11.67\00:10:15.33
But if the wicked
turn from his wickedness,
00:10:15.34\00:10:19.23
and do that which
is lawful and right,
00:10:19.24\00:10:22.31
he shall live thereby.
00:10:22.32\00:10:24.91
Yet ye say, The way
of the Lord is not equal.
00:10:24.92\00:10:28.74
O ye house of Israel,
00:10:28.75\00:10:31.01
I will judge you
every one after his ways.
00:10:31.02\00:10:36.29
And it came to
pass in the twelfth year
00:10:36.30\00:10:38.67
of our captivity,
in the tenth month,
00:10:38.68\00:10:41.51
in the fifth day of the month,
00:10:41.52\00:10:43.72
that one that had
escaped out of Jerusalem
00:10:43.73\00:10:46.34
came unto me,
saying, The city is smitten.
00:10:46.35\00:10:51.29
Now the hand of
the Lord was upon me
00:10:51.30\00:10:52.99
in the evening,
00:10:53.00\00:10:54.24
afore he that was escaped came,
00:10:54.25\00:10:57.04
and had opened my mouth,
00:10:57.05\00:10:58.38
until he came to
me in the morning,
00:10:58.39\00:10:59.75
and my mouth was
opened, and I was no more dumb.
00:10:59.76\00:11:02.93
Then the word of the
Lord came unto me, saying,
00:11:02.94\00:11:05.49
Son of man, they
that inhabit those wastes
00:11:05.50\00:11:08.60
of the land of
Israel speak, saying,
00:11:08.61\00:11:11.28
Abraham was one, and
he inherited the land,
00:11:11.29\00:11:14.99
but we are many,
00:11:15.00\00:11:16.21
the land is given
us for inheritance.
00:11:16.22\00:11:19.57
Wherefore say unto
them, Thus saith the Lord God,
00:11:19.58\00:11:23.76
Ye eat with the blood,
00:11:23.77\00:11:25.26
and lift up your
eyes toward your idols,
00:11:25.27\00:11:27.68
and shed blood, and
shall ye possess the land?
00:11:27.69\00:11:31.99
Ye stand upon your
sword, ye work abomination,
00:11:32.00\00:11:34.87
and ye defile every
one his neighbour's wife,
00:11:34.88\00:11:38.02
and shall ye possess the land?
00:11:38.03\00:11:41.07
Say thou thus unto
them, Thus saith the Lord God,
00:11:41.08\00:11:45.09
As I live, surely
they that are in the wastes
00:11:45.10\00:11:49.29
shall fall by the sword,
00:11:49.30\00:11:50.98
and him that is
in the open field
00:11:50.99\00:11:52.77
will I give to the
beasts to be devoured,
00:11:52.78\00:11:55.38
and they that be in the forts
00:11:55.39\00:11:56.63
and in the caves
shall die of the pestilence.
00:11:56.64\00:12:00.36
For I will lay the
land most desolate,
00:12:00.37\00:12:02.56
and the pomp of her
strength shall cease,
00:12:02.57\00:12:05.63
and the mountains of
Israel shall be desolate,
00:12:05.64\00:12:07.35
that none shall pass through.
00:12:07.36\00:12:10.52
Then shall they
know that I am the Lord,
00:12:10.53\00:12:13.23
when I have
laidthe land most desolate
00:12:13.24\00:12:15.56
because of all
their abominations
00:12:15.57\00:12:17.39
which they have committed.
00:12:17.40\00:12:19.90
Also, thou son of man,
00:12:19.91\00:12:21.80
the children of thy
people still are talking
00:12:21.81\00:12:24.51
against thee by the walls
00:12:24.52\00:12:25.90
and in the doors of the houses,
00:12:25.91\00:12:27.77
and speak one to another,
every one to his brother,
00:12:27.78\00:12:30.28
saying, Come, I pray you,
00:12:30.29\00:12:32.12
and hear what is the word
00:12:32.13\00:12:33.79
that cometh forth from the Lord.
00:12:33.80\00:12:35.50
And they come unto
thee as the people cometh,
00:12:35.51\00:12:37.37
and they sit
before thee as my people,
00:12:37.38\00:12:39.14
and they hear thy words,
but they will not do them,
00:12:39.15\00:12:42.66
for with their
mouth they show much love,
00:12:42.67\00:12:46.58
but their heart goeth
after their covetousness.
00:12:46.59\00:12:50.53
And, lo, thou art unto them
00:12:50.54\00:12:52.94
as a very lovely song of one
00:12:52.95\00:12:55.40
that hath a pleasant voice,
00:12:55.41\00:12:57.72
and can play
well on an instrument,
00:12:57.73\00:13:00.25
for they hear thy
words, but they do them not.
00:13:00.26\00:13:04.25
And when this cometh to pass,
00:13:04.26\00:13:06.26
lo, it will come,
00:13:06.27\00:13:08.44
then shall they
know that a prophet
00:13:08.45\00:13:11.01
hath been among them."
00:13:11.02\00:13:13.60
Continuing with
Ezekiel Chapter 24,
00:13:13.61\00:13:15.87
and this is the
King James Version.
00:13:15.88\00:13:18.75
"And the word of the
Lord came unto me, saying,
00:13:18.76\00:13:20.88
Son of man, prophesy against
00:13:20.89\00:13:22.95
the shepherds of
Israel, prophesy,
00:13:22.96\00:13:24.76
and say unto them,
00:13:24.77\00:13:25.94
Thus saith the Lord
God unto the shepherds,
00:13:25.95\00:13:29.15
Woe be to the
shepherds of Israel
00:13:29.16\00:13:31.88
that do feed themselves,
00:13:31.89\00:13:34.27
should not the
shepherds feed the flocks?
00:13:34.28\00:13:37.55
Ye eat the fat,
00:13:37.56\00:13:38.62
and ye clothe you with the wool,
00:13:38.63\00:13:40.29
ye kill them that are
fed, but ye feed not the flock.
00:13:40.30\00:13:44.00
The diseased have
ye not strengthened,
00:13:44.01\00:13:45.95
neither have ye
healed that which was sick,
00:13:45.96\00:13:47.78
neither have ye bound
up that which was broken,
00:13:47.79\00:13:50.81
neither have ye
brought again that
00:13:50.82\00:13:52.85
which was driven away,
00:13:52.86\00:13:54.93
neither have ye
sought that which was lost,
00:13:54.94\00:13:58.28
but with force and with
cruelty have ye ruled them.
00:13:58.29\00:14:01.64
And they were scattered,
00:14:01.65\00:14:03.45
because there is no shepherd,
00:14:03.46\00:14:06.27
and they became meat
00:14:06.28\00:14:08.12
to all the beasts of the field,
00:14:08.13\00:14:10.22
when they were scattered.
00:14:10.23\00:14:12.42
My sheep wandered
through all the mountains,
00:14:12.43\00:14:15.84
and upon every high hill,
00:14:15.85\00:14:18.57
yea, my flock was scattered
00:14:18.58\00:14:21.28
upon all the face of the earth,
00:14:21.29\00:14:23.87
and none did search
or seek after them."
00:14:23.88\00:14:28.95
Thank you for

Please, join with
me again next time
00:14:32.76\00:14:34.54

00:14:34.55\00:14:35.82
about the shepherd's of Israel.
00:14:35.83\00:14:38.12
Good bye.
