Ezekiel chapter 4

I'm the Book of Ezekiel page 832 832 I'm can I draw your attention to Brooklyn said the back we are going off-piste. So the state for you scared. They hear the word booklet. We have nine studies in actually just as I started I repented of that and needed 14. So these are extra studies on after the first three steps is in the hearing the word booklet. Then another five studies that we have here. This is the study that I'll be looking at next week. They following a few weeks Lord willing. So I come in that to you. If you haven't got one get one on the way out. I'm pleased. If you do not read Ezekiel know I may say that again if you do not, all right, please read Ezekiel and they week preparing. I was visiting at then if I said this last week so that they sat there and I was visiting an elderly person in the congregation of senior person and they were sitting and saying to me I've been reading Ezekiel when I can understand it. I said to my will I have the same problem but I love the fact that she was sitting there grappling with Ezekiel before we came to it in fast that time in the word of God read the passage share it with another. I'm on the Wake prayer in some way or another. best reads in Ezekiel chapter full The story is Ezekiel had been taken to Babylon after nav you can that's his first Siege of Jerusalem. Jerusalem had rebelled against him and never you can let Jack came besiege the city over a year plus I'm broken and then to the king and the court is jerking and the courtiers and Ezekiel a way to Babylon 1,400 miles away. That takes a long time to walk 1400 miles. They walked up and down the Euphrates Down The Babylon.

No, this is five years later five years later and Ezekiel in Babylon is given. this vision of God It is 5 years in but five years before maybe you can answer will come back to Jerusalem and absolutely completely and take every single person away. You'll raise it to the ground and Ezekiel is speaking a warning about what's going to happen. The amazing thing. I don't want you to think about this. He is speaking to people in Babylon way who I'm not going to be able to do anything about it. I think why is he talking about the destruction of Babylon destruction of Jerusalem rather?

So we saw Ezekiel being called as a prophet. He was a priest back home and it was transplanted to Babylon and God called him as a prophet. So this is the Lord speaking to the prophet Ezekiel. This is what he wants him to do.

Nah, son of man verse 1 through chapter 4 take it play tablets. Put it in front of you.

I'm draw the city of Jerusalem on it. Then lay Siege to it. the rats Sage wax against it build a ramp up to it set the camps against it and put mattering Rams around it.

Then take an iron pan like a griddle that you make pancakes on that kind of flat pan that you put on a fire take that and place it as an ion wool between you and the City. And turn your face towards it. So they'll be this model and he won't be able to see the model because of this griddle in front of it and you'll just stay on that side of it.

Turn your face towards not away from it your to look towards it. I'm Gretel. Jerusalem will be on the stage and you shall besiege it. This will be assigned to the house of Israel.

Then lay on your left side and put the sins of the House of Israel upon yourself.

You at the badass in for the number of days you lie on your side.

I've assigned you the same number of days as the years of their sin. So for 390 days. He will bear the sin of the House of Israel the 390 days 390 years. It represents the number of suggestions. When is that? It is the time between the Solomon's dedication of the temple and they Exile 390 years.

After you finish this lie down again this time on your right side and bear the same. of the house of Judah I have assigned you 40 days. They are each year.

What does that represent that number is significant? Is that the number of the years that they wandered in the wilderness for 40 years the people wandered in the wilderness before they entered the Promised Land. well It could be.

Let's read on the 7th annual face towards The Siege of Jerusalem. And with better prophesy against the I will tie you up with ropes. So that you cannot turn from one side to the Arab. I'm telling you how I finished the days of your siege.

Take wheat and barley beans lentils Millet and spelt. Put them in a storage job. And use them to make bread for yourself.

I'm just a comment now. He's lying on his side trust stop. But here it says he's to be making bread. How does that work? I'm not sure. The first thought in your mind is he was tied up at the beginning of day 1 and today 390. He is released.

Next suggestion is that he is tied up at symbolically and he goes and lies down for all to see. But a knight is able to return on he's able to cook.

I'd leave that with you.

Take the weights and barley beans and lentils Malcolm and spelled and put them in the storage and use them to make bread for yourself. You have to eat it during the 300 days you lie on your side where 20 shekels of foods to eat each day and eat it at set times. Also measure at the sixth of a hand of water and drink it at set times. Ate the food as you would a bali cake. A Barbie cake is a poor man's Fair. It was made without yeast. Is that relevant? Made without yeast remember the people of as they fled from Egypt they were to eat unleavened bread. They were to make haste.

Ate the food as you would a bali cake bake it in the sight of the people. using human excrement for fuel The Lord said in this way, the people of Israel will eat defiled food among the Nations where I will drive them.

Then I said not so Sovereign Lord in the Book of Ezekiel. That is the first time a zekiel has said anything.

first time he said anything I'm what he said to an instruction of the Lord is

and I said not so Sovereign Lord. I've never defile myself. From Euston till now. I've never eaten anything find a door torn by wild animals. That is

Mate with blood in it. That's they that's the point kosher food that has been prepared properly will be. I've never ridden everything that's been I'm glad that's been thrown or dad to find though. I've never done that.

No on Clayton mate does ever entered my mind.

Very well. Set God turned very well. He said. I will let you bake your bread overcoming you instead of human excrement.

He then said to me son of mine. I will cut off the supply of food in Jerusalem. People will a trash and food and anxiety and drink Russian water in the spare. For food and water will be scarce. They will be up old at the sight of each other.

I'm a waste away. because of this in

my God speak to us from this rating. How is Wyatt?

Let's sing again. Here is love.

Do you have a

yellow light in your car

Which will go on? Escada Lil pump

And it goes on. I'm the commands you to do something.

It's a warning light. Now. You can ignore it said I had so many joking. It's only joking. I've done that before and a friend's car. I was driving and he was in a wheelchair and he got a new car and it was a Renault and it was a diesel at the fuel consumption amazed at the fuel consumption. I can't play the item. It's amazing. This thing is it's almost going on that we drove around until eventually the car stopped at the fuel. That was a a faulty a faulty fuel gauge.

If you are full get fuel gauge is working pay attention when it's yellow. That means you carry on driving it's going to Ron I told maybe you've got a similar sign on your mobile phone to charge And it says recharge this my boyfriend. I didn't need to do that. And then suddenly it goes dead. That's it. I want you it goes dead. Maybe it's a prelim exam. Prelims exam there for warning lights. That's what that for another fun benefits of your teachers there for you guys and their warning lights. So, you know, how you doing? All right. I've got yellow a light that's going on that shows Iranian somewhat.

Don't ignore it.

There is the Book of Ezekiel. Turn ignore it. Tell him to ignore it.

It is a warning lights in the Old Testament, please please please do not ignore it and don't say you don't know anything. You haven't read the New Testament. Oh, no, he knew much more about the New Testament than you or I do.

He knew the Judgment that was to come. Jesus knew of the Judgment that was to come he spoke of his Parables don't look at The Parables of Jesus half of The Parables of Jesus is speaking of the Sun that is to come to judgment is coming. Does the yellow light on?

I'll be all right, I'll just drive on. There is a yellow light.

The amazing thing the amazing thing is that fuel station.

Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life no man comes to the father, but by me, there's no other way of getting fuel other way of getting into the best Drake.

only by Jesus the amazing thing is that is the gift of God. Is that true? No, no. No, that's not true. That's get rid of the Old Testament. Let's get rid of let's get rid of Acts chapter 17 where Paul speaks to the people in

Athens assisted in this in the past God overlooked ignorance, but now come on. So people everywhere to repent old people everywhere to repent you as well. Use iPhones all people me all of us. Funniest Saturday when he will judge the world with Justice by the man he has appointed.

Look it up. That's Acts chapter 17. Fast at 10:31. That's what Jesus said. What chance look at the gauge? This is coming.

This is coming.

Let's read this I bet.

I was Ezekiel chapter 4 let's read with that sort. assaulted the reality that error of judgment You know the problem with me the problem with most of us is we don't know enough about what we've been saved from if someone comes rushing up to you and grabs throws his arms around you and says I've saved you. You look at him and say you listen Busta Rhyme doing fine.

But if you're teetering on the edge of Destruction someone does that you are so grateful.

Let's see what the zekiel says.

tank son of man Best clay tablets drawer city of Jerusalem and lay Siege to the city seeds with ramps cams battering rams. And then put this iron. Between you and the city and turn your face towards the city. I'm going to turn my face away from the city who win a second and it says again in by 7. I turn your face towards the city why because God is going to be looking in that direction. Why because God is judging the city of Jerusalem. It's not I'm going to look away. And this nasty old nephew connectors going to come and do some something to you and then I'll know know it says Jeremiah his fellow Prophet. It was just a little bit earlier Jeremiah says God speaks of my servant. Have you can answer?

God is bringing judgement on the city of Jerusalem. God is doing it. That's what he saying.

Yuba City jet and it will be a sign for the highest of Israel. Ezekiel the prophet hasn't said anything. But this will be a sign. remember his Tyler Prophet Jeremiah and the lemon belts and all that kind of stuff didn't say anything. At that point he just dressed and that was the signify. Kia this nutcase Is lying for a year-over-year? on one side not saying anything. I wonder how long he's going to be there. Maybe it's just for a week someone. He's been there for 6 months a year.

390 + 40 what does that equal?

10 equals 430 470 was the time of the Captivity of the Hebrews in Egypt. They were in Egypt for 430 years. It says in Exodus 12 verse 40. You will be captive. I will tie you up.

the 40 years

Yo, it's a barrier arm and prophesied against Jerusalem bear your arm speak with pi. Authority and God will tie you up. Can you imagine what people said when they pass by? Ezekiel

and I find him. Titan Titan shook their heads, of course hasn't been party to the vision. They didn't know how long this was going to last for.

I'm he was a fool.

I'm really in the same way as poll says he was and that we must be cool for Christ. Christ Jeanette to say there is judgement coming. Is such a foolish thing, isn't it?

The same as judgement coming such a foolish thing a foolish foolish friends.

Why am I so reluctant to say that?

is it because I don't I'll leave it in my bones.

Ezekiel lay there foolishly

we are cold to be fools for Christ.

CZ to be a Christian woman sitting here

Smosh different outside Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I agree with this.

baking of bread he banks this bread.

Call man's bread. $0.08 for 390 days someone came up to me afterwards after morning service and says funny that funny that he only baked it for 390 days. What about the extra 40 days good question. I hadn't thought of that. Good question.

Bake the cake I needed as you would have Bali cake Poor Man's cake no-yeast.

Is it in the sight of the people? This will be a sign that the see it everyone is to see it. That's a no it there good you doing it in your house.

This is to be a sign.

In the sight of the people. As you would have bothered cake.

And the fuel well human excrement. Put human excrement to cook it. That it says will show the defilement in this way. The people of Israel will eat defiled food among the Nations where I will drive them. Of course, they're all completely the file because their way from the temple

Ezekiel says not so as fast words. Not so Lord. I'm a priest. I'm a priest. I have never eaten anything to file any of the files meet someone else on the way. I don't point it out to me. Why was it eating meat he been making bread. Why is he talking to hear about eating meat? Good question have no time to think on that great question.

I've never eaten mates. That's been dead. Tone still has the blood in it. Turn on ask me to eat this.

And the Lord says very well. I'll give you company.

As a thing that confuses me about that is do you remember in a in Acts chapter 10 when pizza was had the vision and the animals were coming down and the Lord said take Ethan Peterson who know I could never eat that.

And the Lord said don't call anything.

And pure that God has made clean.

Why was he rebuked and Ezekiel wasn't?

I don't know. I'm asking the question. Once all of a sudden I'm not sure whether it's right. Do you remember the weight conscience of the people in an axe in in 1st Corinthians chapter 8 Paul says, it doesn't matter whether something's been sacrificed or not. I'll eat anything to me. But there are some with tender conscience who say not County that I can take that I feel it's wrong. I need says if you feel it's wrong, then don't eat it. Don't eat it if you feel something's wrong, don't do it.

I still have a question.

Finally verse 1617. This is where the rubber hits the road. It says it's as though the Lord says to Ezekiel, right? This is what I'm talkin about.

Son of man, I will cut off the supply of food in Jerusalem. The paper will eat rice and food and anxiety and drink rice and food and water in the spare the food and water will be scarce. They will be appalled at the sight of each other and they will waste away because of their sin.

God will cut off the supply the Jerusalem. He is looking at Jerusalem he put the iron play there.

He says no. That is enough. Some people say to me. God can do that. God wouldn't do that. No, no.

Well, if you what will if you will take no from your child, whatever you tell them to do ever you. They will never take your Corrections. Will you let it go is that a Bright parental things to do you just do exactly as you want but no consequences. Call Cessna right?

That's what God is saying to his people.

He said over and over again and there will come a day.

The amazing thing folks the amazing thing is if you look forward the god whose heart is broken by this. Is the same God who committed his son who so loved the world that he sent his son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life made him who knew no sin to be sin for us. So that in him we might become the righteousness of God. You can get into the Vestry.

Isn't that the amazing thing? The amazing thing is not that everyone's alright. The amazing thing is that everyone is terribly terribly terribly wrong. We've been put on from the god we've been excluded from the presence of God that is in the tunnel state.

And yet God and His grace and mercy.

has Kevin his son, Jesus Christ

the truth is this this is the message the message to the people in the Old Testament is the message to us. beware Judgement of God is coming.

Beware the Judgment of God is coming.

But you who know the Lord Jesus Christ. Say what am I using gratitude? I have been I have been engulfed. I have been drawn back from the precipice. I have been saved like being delivered. I've been capped. What does having a thing? by the way anyone else anyone else
