You shall be a reproach and a taunt, a warning and a horror, to the nations all around you, when I execute judgments on you in anger and fury, and with furious rebukes—I am the LORD; I have spoken…
Ezekiel 5:15
A commitment was despised
A covenant was broken
Worship was forgotten
Truth apostacized
God made a city a horror
for the watching nations
Fallen from privileged station
a city now broken and torn
Israel turned away
detestable idolatry
became their revelry
until God had His say
In fury judgment fell:
A third scattered
A third by pestilence dead
A third burning in hell
Jerusalem in mourning
Survivors just a few
Weeping at God’s rebuke
…all of it a warning
God will not be ignored
He will get the attention
of His people by destruction
He will be feared in the horror
In warning He spoke His Word
to rebel hearts God appealed
even as His fury was revealed
so all would know He is the LORD!
