Ezekiel 28:24-26

How many of you when you read this portion of scripture thought to yourself; what does this have to do with me? Through Ezekiel God is letting Israel, and all of human history know what He has in store for the nation of Israel. That sounds great and it's cool to know that Isreal is taken care of, but what does that have to do with us? If you are going to come at this portion of scripture, or any portion of scripture for that matter with an attitude like that I believe we will not get anything out of this. So if that was you, maybe you should re-read this portion and see if anything changes.

So the heart behind this blog is to get axiom or anyone reading this to dive into the word but most importantly share what the Lord spoke to you through His word. As I read this I can't help but see how amazing the Lord is. We know that God has chosen the nation of Israel to be His people and that He has a plan, that hasn't come to fulfillment yet but it is in the works. What blows my mind is that we can read about these things to come in His word but what's even more mind blowing is that we can read about it in the news and we can watch these things on T.V start to line up. Pastor Rick shared how he believes that we went from minutes to Christ return to seconds until He comes back. Now that thought might scare some people but the way I have seen it is that this is not a fairy tale, this is really going to happen. Now getting back to this text when I read it I look at it as signs/insight for things to look out for. We see in this portion of scripture the Lord said He is going to gather the nation from being scattered, which is taking place and He is going to take out all the "malicious neighbors". Knowing that these things are going to happen, we can now always be aware of the indicators that God has told us about and be mindful of the things to come.

So are these things really going to happen? Is God really going to use that little piece of land in the Middle East to establish His Kingdom on earth? Now there are things that the Lord has given insight to, things that need to take place before His return but what do we do with them? Are we suppose to only watch out for these things? Are we suppose to live in the spirit of fear of these things or should we have a revrent fear of what the Lord is going to do? What do you think,? What is the Lord telling you?
