Ezekiel 3
Ezekiel's Call (eze 2.1-15)
Note the language in Ezekiel, 'Spirit lifted me up...) v. 2

3 Then he said to me, "Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your stomach with it." So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth.

16 At the end of seven days the word of the LORD came to me: 17 "Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. 18 When I say to a wicked man, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him from his evil ways in order to save his life, that wicked man will die for [a] his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. 19 But if you do warn the wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his evil ways, he will die for his sin; but you will have saved yourself.

Application
The word of God taste sweet to us like honey (Ps 119.103). The Spirit has a lot to do with our Christian ministry and our daily walk. We are also made to be watchmen to warn the world of impending doom IF they reject Jesus Christ (John 3.16-17)/

Today's Reading is Ezekiel 2
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links:Ezekiel 2

Ezekiel 2
Ezekiel had a call from God> His ministry would not be easy because he was sent to a rebellious nation, who may not listen to his words of warning (foretell) or his prophesying (forthtell). He was encouraged not to be afraid of the people and he was niot rebel like the people of Judah who were in exile with him.

Application:
We all have a call as well! It is called the Great Comission (Matthew 28). We are to be witnessed for Him. People may listen to us. We should not take it personally if they do not receive Christ or believe in Him. It is the Spirit who does the work in changine men lives.

Verses to meditate on:
3 He said: "Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me; they and their fathers have been in revolt against me to this very day. 4 The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and stubborn. Say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says.' 5 And whether they listen or fail to listen—for they are a rebellious house—they will know that a prophet has been among them.

Today's Reading is Ezekiel 1, Psalms 100
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links:Ezekiel 1

People, Places and Things Links:Ezekiel; Nebuchadnezzar
Ezekiel 1
Ezekiel was preparing to be a priest when the Babylonians invaded Judah in 597 B.C. He was taken in captivity to Babylon. Some four years later, Ezekiel saw a vision of the the living creatures and the glory of the Lord. This passage is so awesome for anyone to understand, much less grasp. How do you visualize the wheel with the flying creatures.

Application
When you read this passage, you realize how finite of a person you are in the presence of an infinite God. The fourliving creatures according to the early church fathers represented God's perfect nature. We see that there are four gospels, where Jesus is portrayed as the King of the Jews, a lion, as in Matthew. In Mark, He is the Servant, the bull; in Luke, Jesus is portrayed as the Son of Man, the perfect man; and in John, Jesus is portrayed as the eagle, the Son of God. What does Jesus Christ mean to you? He should be your Lord and Savior.

Psalm 100, with Commentaries, verse by verse

Psalm 100 is a psalm of praise and thanksgiving. We should worship the Lord with gladness; know that the Lord is God, He is the one who made us; He is our shepherd and we are His sheep> Notice words such as praise and thanksgiving in this passage. When we discouraged or distressed about life, Psalm 100 is an appropriate psalm for us to focu on God and take our eyes off ourselves.

Lamentations 5
Jeremiah contones to lament over Judad's misery.any had suffered harship and agony (v. 1-14) and the Davidic dynasty no longer reigned, the temple was destroyed (v. 15-18)
Jeremiah prays for mercy. The verses reflect Psalms 74.1-2; 79.5-8; 80.1-7.

Application:
Do we care enought to lament over people we know who go through suffering and agony? do we pray for divine mercy on those who suffer? Or are we just preoccupied with ourselves and our problems.

Verses to meditate on:
21 Restore us to yourself, O LORD, that we may return;
renew our days as of old

22 unless you have utterly rejected us
and are angry with us beyond measure.

King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links:Lamentations 4

Lamentations 4
The Lord has given full vent to his wrath because of the sin of Judah. Judah reap what she sowed. He sent the Babylonians to devastate Judah. The nations looked at Judah with scorn. Remember Deuteronomy 28 where God told the Israelites if they were obedient they would be blessed, if they were disobedient they would be cursed and be scattered over the face of the earth. They would be later restored and returned to Israel.

Application
When you read this what do you think? We are under the illusion that God is a God of love and He would turn the other way when Christians sin. The churches have taught that God is a God of Love. I have had discussions with pastors from different churches and they don’t get it. God is a God of love BUT He is a God of Judgement. The sooner we understand this the better prepared we will be for the near future when Christ will return as a Lion, as Judge and King!

Verse to meditate on:
Lamentation 4 11 The LORD has given full vent to his wrath;
he has poured out his fierce anger.
He kindled a fire in Zion
that consumed her foundations.

12 The kings of the earth did not believe,
nor did any of the world's people,
that enemies and foes could enter
the gates of Jerusalem.

King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links:Lamentations 3

Lamentations 3

The prophecy of Jeremiah was fulfilled in Lamentations. Jerusalem was captured, plundered and destroyed by the Babylonians. Jeremiah the weeping prophet gave an explanation why Judah and Jerusalem was captured. In this chapter complains that God did not answer his prayers and completely ignores him. In verse 44, God seemed 'tio have covered himself with a cloud that no prayer could pass through.'

Application:
Have you ever experience the silence of God, when no matter how much you pray or how sincerely you pray, God is not listening. God answers prayers in three ways: yes, no and WAIT. This requires faith on ur part. We also need to hope in God. Please meditate on the verses below. Despite the silence of God, we can still hope!

Verses to meditate on:
21 This I recall to my mind,
Therefore I have hope.
22 Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
24 “ The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,

“ Therefore I hope in Him!”
25 The LORD is good to those who wait for Him,
To the soul who seeks Him.
26 It is good that one should hope and wait quietly
For the salvation of the LORD.
27 It is good for a man to bear
The yoke in his youth.
28 Let him sit alone and keep silent,
Because God has laid it on him;
29 Let him put his mouth in the dust—
There may yet be hope.

The book of Jeremiah and continues in Lamentations. Jerusalem was captured, plundered and destroyed by the Babylonians. Jeremiah the weeping prophet gave an explanation why Judah and Jerusalem was captured.

Application:
Our God is a God of history. What he had promised, He will fulfill. We need to learn from the people of Judah. They had enough time to repent. They had many warnings from Jeremiah but they did not pay attention to what he prophesied or preached. What about us? Are we being fooled by our pastors in the pulpit when they only taught about the God of Love, they ignore the a Holy God and His Judgement. The day is coming soon and when it happens many of us will be caught by surprise. Let us remember that mercy precedes judgement and there is stll time to repent and turn to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

Verses to meditate on:
18 "The LORD is righteous,
yet I rebelled against his command.
Listen, all you peoples;
look upon my suffering.
My young men and maidens
have gone into exile.

Application: These were enemies of Judah for centuries. God remembers the enemies of His people and he will punish them. We can take comfort in that God is in control of everything. Do you see God as a God of love. What about a God of vengeance. We must understand that He is a holy God and He will not tolerate sin. For now mercy precedes judgement for us.

If we think of God only as a God of love and ignore that He is a holy God, we have created a god in our own image. This is not the God of the Bible.

Today's Reading is Jeremiah 48, Psalms 92.1-93.5
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links:Jeremiah 48; Psalms 92; Psalms 93

People, Places and Things Links:Jeremiah; Nebuchadnezzar; Moab

Jeremiah 48
This is a message about Moab.
According to Josephus, Moab was destroyed in the twenty third year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign.

Application:
Apparently the Moabites did not learn either! They did not learn from the mistakes of the past. One of the sins of Moab was pride. You cannot go against God and his proophecies. Why is it that we don't learn from the sins of others and obey God? Do you know why there are prophecies before the actual fulfilment. There are warning of things that will happen so that there is a chance to repent. Remember mercy precedes judgement.

Verses to meditate on:
30 I know her insolence but it is futile,"
declares the LORD,
"and her boasts accomplish nothing.

Figure: The Moabites taken in Captivity.

People, Places and Things in the Bible blog:
Philistines; Jeremiah

Today's Reading is Jeremiah 47
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links:Jeremiah 47

Jeremiah 47
Jeremiah prophesied a message about the Philistines..

Application: These were enemies of Judah for centuries. God remembers the enemies of His people and he will punish them. We can take comfort in that God is in control of everything. Do you see God as a God of love. What about a God of vengeance. We must understand that He is a holy God and He will not tolerate sin. For now mercy precedes judgement for us.

Verses to meditate:
6 " 'Ah, sword of the LORD,' you cry,
'how long till you rest?
Return to your scabbard;
cease and be still.'

Jeremiah 46
The conquest of Egypt was prophesied by Jeremiah. This was fulfilled when Nebuchadnezzar invaded Egypt in 568-567 B.C. Egypt was similar in a rebellious attitude as Judah and was quickly subdued by the Babylonians. Who do you put your confidence in?

Application:
Apparently the Egyptians did not learn either! They did not learn from the mistakes of the past. You cannot go against God and his proophecies. Why is it that we don't learn from the sins of others and obey God? Do you know why there are prophecies before the actual fulfilment. There are warning of things that will happen so that there is a chance to repent. Remember mercy precedes judgement.

Our balm in Gilead is Jesus Christ. He is the one, we go for healing.

Verses to meditate on:
10 But that day belongs to the LORD, the Lord Almighty—
a day of vengeance, for vengeance on his foes.
The sword will devour till it is satisfied,
till it has quenched its thirst with blood.
For the Lord, the LORD Almighty, will offer sacrifice
in the land of the north by the River Euphrates.

11 "Go up to Gilead and get balm,
O Virgin Daughter of Egypt.
But you multiply remedies in vain;
there is no healing for you.

Jeremiah 46 with Commentaries, verse by verse

Psalm 90, with Commentaries, verse by verse
Psalm 91, with Commentaries, verse by verse

Psalm 90 was a Psalm of Moses asking the eternal God to show compassion on his servants. Moses compared God’s eternity and awesome might against man’s short longevity and frailty of life.

Psalm 91 is a psalm speaking of God’s protection and security. Words which describe God’s protection include refuge, fortress, cover you, save you, etc.. This is a wonderful psalm to cling to when we face physical danger and persecution. The words gives us strength and resolve to remain faithful to Him

Verses to meditate on:
47 Remember how fleeting is my life.
For what futility you have created all men!

48 What man can live and not see death,
or save himself from the power of the grave [e] ?

READING LIST FOR POETRY AND PROPHECY

Today's Reading is Jeremiah 44, Psalms 89.38-52
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links:Jeremiah 44 Psalms 89

Jeremiah 44
The conquest of Egypt was prophesied by Jeremiah. This was fulfilled when Nebuchadnezzar invaded Egypt in 568-567 B.C. Egypy was similar in a rebellious attitude as Judah and was quickly subdued by the Babylonians.

Jeremiah was forced into Egypt against his will. He prophesied that there would be calamity on the Jews in Egypt.

Application:
Why is it that the Jews in Egypt did not learn from the mistakes of the people of Judah. The reason for the calamity was because of idolatry. Why is it that we don't learn from the sins of others and obey God? Do you know why there are prophecies before the actual fulfilment. There are warning of things that will happen so that there is a chance to repent. Remember mercy precedes judgement.

Verses to meditate on:
10 'If you stay in this land, I will build you up and not tear you down; I will plant you and not uproot you, for I am grieved over the disaster I have inflicted on you. 11 Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, whom you now fear. Do not be afraid of him, declares the LORD, for I am with you and will save you and deliver you from his hands. 12 I will show you compassion so that he will have compassion on you and restore you to your land.'

READING LIST FOR POETRY AND PROPHECY

Today's Reading is Jeremiah 43
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links:Jeremiah 43

Jeremiah 43
God had told Jeremiah to tell the people that they should stay in Judah and live and prosper, He would bless them. If they would go to Egypt they would face death and famine and die in Egypt. Well, guess which choice the people took? You guessed it death, the sword and famine.

Application: God always give us a choice between life and death, the straight and narrow way versus the broad road that leads to destruction. Today He gives you a choice as well. Jesus is the way to the Father and to Life. To turn your back on Jesus Christ signs your death warrant to hell and death.

Verses to meditate: 8 In Tahpanhes the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: 9 "While the Jews are watching, take some large stones with you and bury them in clay in the brick pavement at the entrance to Pharaoh's palace in Tahpanhes. 10 Then say to them, 'This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I will send for my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and I will set his throne over these stones I have buried here; he will spread his royal canopy above them. 11 He will come and attack Egypt, bringing death to those destined for death, captivity to those destined for captivity, and the sword to those destined for the sword. 12 He [b] will set fire to the temples of the gods of Egypt; he will burn their temples and take their gods captive. As a shepherd wraps his garment around him, so will he wrap Egypt around himself and depart from there unscathed. 13 There in the temple of the sun [c] in Egypt he will demolish the sacred pillars and will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.' "

Today's Reading is Jeremiah 42, Psalms 89.14-37
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links:Jeremiah 42 Psalms 89

Jeremiah 42
Jeremiah was forced into Egypt against his will. He told the army officers including Johanan to stay in Judah and rebuild and do not be afraid of king of Babylon. They did not listen.

Application:
Man will do what seems best to him and not what God wills. When will we listen to God and do the opposite of what makes sense to us. God's ways are not our ways. This is why it takes FAITH to live God's way and not huiman wisdom.

Verses to meditate on:
10 'If you stay in this land, I will build you up and not tear you down; I will plant you and not uproot you, for I am grieved over the disaster I have inflicted on you. 11 Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, whom you now fear. Do not be afraid of him, declares the LORD, for I am with you and will save you and deliver you from his hands. 12 I will show you compassion so that he will have compassion on you and restore you to your land.'
