Quote of the Day 8-16-09
The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and stubborn. Say to them, “This is what the Sovereign Lord says.”
And whether they listen or fail to listen – for they are a rebellious house – they will know that a prophet has been among them.
And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or terrified by them, though they are a rebellious house.
You must speak my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious.
But you, son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not rebel like that rebellious house….
~ Ezekiel 2:4-8, New International Version

To whom was Ezekiel directed to speak to?
Who did/does the ‘rebellious house’ represent then and now?
The ‘obstinate and rebellious people’ were not only God’s chosen ones but especially the priests and prophets who had been compromised by the ‘spirit’ of the age.
It is written somewhere that God’s judgement begins with the household of God. When HE is done with us HE will get around to those who have not yet come to know HIM as GOD.
There may come time when the SPIRIT of GOD in us compels to cry out to GOD to judge us so that our sin may be dealt with and HE can proceed with HIS plan for us which is not death and destruction but a hope and a future.
