Ezekiel chapter 14:
Reflection
Chapter 14
I noticed 1 thing. God was definitely angry. unhappy and pissed off that the leaders, not the people, but the priestly leaders have idols in their hearts. and are still coming to him for council. But instead of rejection or removing them, ignoring them, he says, get your hearts right first. remove your idols, repent, then only come to me, and he shall return. That was forgiveness in its most pure form that I see.
Next part was about the punishment, the price that comes with sin. especially sins that is of such a huge magnitude. He also clearly outline his 4 disasters when people put him aside: Sword-> killing, Famine -> finance, wild beast -> not sure what it represents but I think removal of safety, and pestilence -> sickness. how many of these are present in our neighborhood?
Chapter 15:
I don't get it... why "your father is an ammonite and your mother a Hittite" is used in reference to this chapter. I shall consult my more knowledgable friends on this.
