Eze 9:4 And the LORD said to him, "Pass through the city, through Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations that are committed in it."
Eze 9:5 And to the others he said in my hearing, "Pass through the city after him, and strike. Your eye shall not spare, and you shall show no pity.
Eze 9:6 Kill old men outright, young men and maidens, little children and women, but touch no one on whom is the mark. And begin at my sanctuary." So they began with the elders who were before the house.
Eze 9:7 Then he said to them, "Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go out." So they went out and struck in the city.
Eze 9:8 And while they were striking, and I was left alone, I fell upon my face, and cried, "Ah, Lord GOD! Will you destroy all the remnant of Israel in the outpouring of your wrath on Jerusalem?"
Eze 9:9 Then he said to me, "The guilt of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great. The land is full of blood, and the city full of injustice. For they say, 'The LORD has forsaken the land, and the LORD does not see.'
Just a thought....could it be that while everyone is at war the church is being tempted to do the same when we should really all be on our faces sighing and groaning at the great abominations that beset out nation? |
I posted almost the same thread a month or so ago.
The title of my sermon "The devil stole the mark"
It was on the day of the sixth year the sixth month and the 5th day.
That he was visited.
He went out to slay those starting at the temple.
On the day of the sixth year sixth month and the sixth day.
Thus the man in Revelations wears that mark.
And it will be on the forehead as the mark in Ezekiel.
It is the devil's way of marking his fold.
With the memory of the day the Lord slayed the sinner...
Read the beginning of chapter 8.
