    1) Ezekiel 9, Ezekiel 10, Ezekiel 11, Ezekiel 12, Ezekiel 13

    Ezekiel 9

    The Slaughter of the Wicked

    1 (Isa 6:8) He cried out also in my ears with a loud voice, saying,
    "Cause those who have charge over the city to draw near, even every man
    with his destroying weapon in his hand."
    2 (Lev 16:4; Eze 10:2) Six men came from the way of the higher gate
    which lies toward the north, each with his battle weapon in his hand.
    And one man among them was clothed with linen with a writer's case
    by his side. And they went in and stood beside the bronze altar.
    3 (Eze 10:4; 11:22-23) Then the glory of the God of Israel ascended
    from the cherub on which it had been, to the threshold of the temple.
    And He called to the man clothed with linen who had the writer's case
    by his side.
    4 (Ex 12:7; Ps 119:53) And the Lord said to him, "Go through the midst
    of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark
    upon the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan
    for all the abominations that are done in its midst."
    5 (Eze 5:11) To the others He said in my hearing, "Go after him
    through the city and strike. Do not let your eye spare or have pity.
    6 (2Ch 36:17; Jer 25:29) Utterly slay old and young, both maidens
    and little children, and women. But do not touch any man on whom is the mark. And begin at My sanctuary." Then they began with the elders
    who were before the temple.
    7 (2Ch 36:17; Eze 7:20-22) Then he said to them, "Defile the temple,
    and fill the courts with the slain. Go forth!" So they went out
    and killed in the city.
    8 (Eze 11:13; Nu 14:5; Jos 7:6) While they were killing, I was left alone;
    and I fell on my face and cried out,
    "Ah, Lord God! Will You destroy all the rest of Israel by Your pouring
    out of Your fury upon Jerusalem?"
    9 (Eze 8:12; Job 22:13) Then He said to me, "The iniquity of the house
    of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood,
    and the city is full of perverseness. For they say,
    'The Lord has forsaken the land, and the Lord does not see.'
    10 (Eze 7:4; Isa 65:6) But as for Me, My eye shall not spare, nor will
    I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their heads."
    11 Then the man clothed with linen who had the case by his side
    reported the matter, saying, "I have done just as You have commanded me."

    Ezekiel 9
    [1] He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that
    have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
    [2] And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.
    [3] And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub,
    whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side;
    [4] And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through
    the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that
    sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. [5] And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
    [6] Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women:
    but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
    [7] And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
    [8] And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that
    I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy
    all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
    [9] Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.
    [10] And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.
    [11] And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.

    Ezekiel 10

    The Glory of God Leaves the Temple

    1 (Ex 24:10; Rev 4:2-3) Then I looked, and in the expanse
    that was above the heads of the cherubim there appeared over them,
    as it were, a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
    2 (Rev 8:5; Eze 1:13) And He spoke to the man clothed with linen and said,
    "Go in between the wheels under the cherubim and fill your hands with coals
    of fire from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city."
    And he entered in my sight.
    3 Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the temple when the man went in, and the cloud filled the inner court.
    4 (Eze 1:28; 9:3) Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub
    and stood over the threshold of the temple. And the house was filled
    with the cloud, and the court was ful
    of the brightness of the glory of the Lord.
    5 (Eze 1:24; Job 40:9) The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even
    in the outer court, like the voice of the Almighty God when He speaks.
    6 (Eze 10:2) When He had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying,
    "Take fire from between the wheels, from among the cherubim," he went in
    and stood beside the wheel.
    7 One cherub stretched out his hand from among the cherubim to the fire
    that was between the cherubs, and took some, and put it into the hands
    of him who was clothed with linen, who took it and went out.
    8 (Eze 1:8; 10:21) There appeared among the cherubim the form of a man's
    hand under their wings.
    9 (Da 10:6; Rev 21:20) Then I looked, and there were the four wheels
    by the cherubim, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub. And the appearance of the wheels was as the color of a beryl stone.
    10 As for their appearances, all four had one likeness, as if one wheel
    had been in the middle of a wheel.
    11 (Eze 1:17; 10:22) When they went, they went on their four sides.
    They did not turn as they went, but they followed to the place
    wherever the head looked. They did not turn as they went.
    12 (Eze 1:18; Rev 4:6) Their whole body, and their backs, and their hands,
    and their wings, and the wheels that the four had were full of eyes all round. 13 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing the whirling wheels.
    14 (1Ki 7:36; Rev 4:7) Each one had four faces. The first face was the face
    of a cherub, the second face was the face of a man,
    the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
    15 (Eze 1:5) Then the cherubim rose up. They are the living creatures
    that I saw by the River Kebar.
    16 When the cherubim went, the wheels went by them. And when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels
    also would not turn from beside them.
    17 (Eze 1:20-21) When the cherubim stood, the wheels stood.
    And when they rose up, the wheels also rose up with them.
    For the spirit of the living creatures was in them.
    18 (Ps 18:10) Then the glory of the Lord departed from off the threshold
    of the temple and stood over the cherubim.
    19 The cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth
    in my sight. When they went out, the wheels were beside them.
    They stood at the door of the east gate of the house of the Lord;
    and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
    20 (Eze 1:1; 10:15) These are the living creatures that I saw under the God
    of Israel by the River Kebar. So I knew that they were cherubim.
    21 (Eze 1:6; 10:14) Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings. And the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
    22 (Eze 1:10; 10:11) The likeness of their faces was the same faces
    which I saw by the River Kebar, their appearances and themselves.
    Each went straight forward.

    Ezekiel 10
    [1] Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of
    the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
    [2] And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between
    the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire
    from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city. And he went in
    in my sight.
    [3] Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man
    went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
    [4] Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the
    court was full of the brightness of the LORD's glory.
    [5] And the sound of the cherubims' wings was heard even to the outer court,
    as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.
    [6] And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with
    linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the
    cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.
    [7] And one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubims unto
    the fire that was between the cherubims, and took thereof, and put it into
    the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it, and went out.
    [8] And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man's hand under
    their wings.
    [9] And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone.
    [10] And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.
    [11] When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as
    they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.
    [12] And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their
    wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that
    they four had.
    [13] As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.
    [14] And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub,
    and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
    [15] And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I
    saw by the river of Chebar.
    [16] And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them.
    [17] When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these
    lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in
    them.
    [18] Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the
    house, and stood over the cherubims.
    [19] And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth
    in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
    [20] This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.
    [21] Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
    [22] And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one
    straight forward.

    Ezekiel 11

    God's Judgment on Wicked Counselors

    1 (Eze 3:12; 8:16) Moreover the Spirit lifted me up and brought me
    to the east gate of the house of the Lord which faces eastward.
    And at the door of the gate were 25 men, among whom I saw Jaazaniah
    the son of Azzur and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, officials of the people.
    2 (Ps 2:1-2; 52:2) Then He said to me, "Son of man, these are the men
    who devise mischief and give wicked counsel in this city,
    3 (Eze 12:22; 12:27) who say, 'The time is not near to build houses.
    This city is the cauldron, and we are the flesh.'
    4 Therefore prophesy against them; prophesy, son of man!"
    5 (Jer 17:10; Eze 2:2) Then the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me,
    and He said to me, Say, Thus says the Lord: Thus you have said,
    O house of Israel, for I know the things that come into your mind,
    every one of them.
    6 (Eze 7:23; Isa 1:15) You have multiplied your slain in this city,
    and you have filled the streets with them.
    7 (Eze 24:3-13; Mic 3:2-3) Therefore thus says the Lord God:
    Your slain whom you have laid in the midst of it,
    they are the flesh and this city is the cauldron. But I will bring you
    out of the midst of it.
    8 (Pr 10:24; Job 3:25) You have feared the sword, so I will bring
    a sword upon you, says the Lord God.
    9 (Eze 5:8; Dt 28:36) I will bring you out of the midst of the city
    and deliver you into the hands of strangers and execute judgments
    against you.
    10 (2Ki 14:25; 25:19-21) You shall fall by the sword. I will judge you
    in the border of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.
    11 (Eze 11:3) This city shall not be your cauldron, nor shall you be
    the flesh in the midst of it, but I will judge you in the border
    of Israel.
    12 (Eze 8:10; 8:14) Thus you shall know that I am the Lord.
    For you have not walked in My statutes, or executed My judgments,
    but have done after the customs of the nations all around you.
    13 (Eze 9:8; 11:1) Now while I was prophesying, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face and cried out with a loud voice and said, "Ah, Lord God! Will You make a full end of the remnant of Israel?"

    [1] Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of
    the LORD's house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and
    Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, the princes of the people.
    [2] Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise
    mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:
    [3] Which say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the
    caldron, and we be the flesh.
    [4] Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.
    [5] And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak; Thus saith the LORD; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them.
    [6] Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the
    streets thereof with the slain.
    [7] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron: but I will
    bring you forth out of the midst of it.
    [8] Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the
    Lord GOD.
    [9] And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
    [10] Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel;
    and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
    [11] This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in
    the midst thereof; but I will judge you in the border of Israel:
    [12] And ye shall know that I am the LORD: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of
    the heathen that are round about you.
    [13] And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of
    Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice,
    and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?

    The Exiles - Return Promised

    14 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
    15 (Eze 33:24) Son of man, your brothers, your kindred, your fellow captives, and all the house of Israel, all of them, are they to whom the inhabitants
    of Jerusalem have said, "Go far from the Lord. This land has been given
    to us as a possession."
    16 (Isa 8:14; Ps 90:1) Therefore say, Thus says the Lord God:
    Although I have cast them far off among the nations, and although
    I have scattered them among the countries, yet I will be a sanctuary
    to them for a little while in the countries where they have gone.
    17 (Eze 28:25; Jer 3:18) Therefore say, Thus says the Lord God:
    I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you out of the countries
    where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
    18 (Eze 5:11; 37:23) When they come there, they shall take away
    all the detestable things and all the abominations from it.
    19 (Eze 18:31; Zec 7:12) I will give them one heart, and I will put
    a new spirit within them. And I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh,
    20 (Ps 105:45; Eze 14:11) that they may walk in My statutes,
    and keep My ordinances, and do them. And they shall be My people,
    and I will be their God.
    21 (Eze 9:10; 11:18) But as for those whose hearts walk after the hearts
    of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense
    their way upon their own heads, says the Lord God.
    22 (Eze 10:19) Then the cherubim lifted up their wings with the wheels
    beside them. And the glory of the God of Israel was over them.
    23 (Zec 14:4; Eze 8:4) The glory of the Lord went up from the midst
    of the city and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
    24 (Eze 8:3; 11:1) Afterwards the Spirit took me up
    and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea
    to those of the captivity.
    So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
    25 (Eze 3:4; 2:7) Then I spoke to those of the captivity all the things
    that the Lord had shown me.

    [14] Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
    [15] Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred,
    and all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the LORD: unto us is this land given
    in possession.
    [16] Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far
    off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the
    countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries
    where they shall come.
    [17] Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered,
    and I will give you the land of Israel.
    [18] And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the
    detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
    [19] And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an
    heart of flesh:
    [20] That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do
    them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
    [21] But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.
    [22] Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
    [23] And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
    [24] Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision by the
    Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I
    had seen went up from me.
    [25] Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that the LORD
    had shewed me.

    Ezekiel 12

    Judah's Captivity Symbolized

    1 The word of the Lord also came to me, saying:
    2 (Ps 78:40; Isa 1:23) Son of man, you dwell in the midst
    of a rebellious house, which has eyes to see but does not see,
    and ears to hear but does not hear. For they are a rebellious house.
    3 (Jer 36:3; 26:3) Therefore, son of man, prepare baggage for captivity
    and go into captivity by day in their sight. And you shall go into captivity from your place to another place in their sight. It may be that they understand, though they are a rebellious house.
    4 (Jer 39:4; 2Ki 25:4) You shall bring out your belongings by day in their sight, as baggage for exile; and you shall go out at evening in their sight,
    as those who go into exile.
    5 Dig a hole through the wall in their sight,and go out thereby.
    6 (Eze 4:3; Isa 8:18) In their sight you shall bear it on your shoulders
    and carry it out in the twilight. You shall cover your face so that you
    cannot see the land. For I have set you as a sign to the house of Israel.
    7 (Eze 24:18; 37:7) I did so as I was commanded. I brought out my baggage
    by day as baggage for captivity, and in the evening I dug through the wall
    with my own hands. I brought it out at twilight,
    carrying it on my shoulder in their sight.
    8 In the morning the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
    9 (Eze 17:12; 24:19) Son of man, has not the house of Israel,
    the rebellious house, said to you, "What are you doing?"
    10 (2Ki 9:25; Isa 13:1) Say to them, "Thus says the Lord God:
    This oracle concerns the prince in Jerusalem
    and all the house of Israel who are in it."
    11 (Jer 15:2; 52:15) Say, "I am your sign.
    "As I have done, so it shall be done to them. They shall go into exile,
    into captivity."
    12 (2Ki 25:4; Jer 39:4) The prince who is among them shall bear his baggage
    on his shoulder in the twilight and go out. They shall dig through the wall
    to carry it out thereby. He shall cover his face so that he cannot see
    the land with his eyes.
    13 (Eze 17:20; Hos 7:12) My net also I will spread upon him, and he shall be taken in My snare. And I will bring him to Babylon to the land
    of the Chaldeans. Yet he shall not see it, though he shall die there.
    14 (Eze 5:2; 2Ki 25:4-5) I will scatter toward every wind all who are about him, his helpers and all his troops. And I will draw out the sword after them. 15 (Eze 6:7; 6:14) Then they shall know that I am the Lord when I scatter them among the nations and disperse them among the countries.
    16 (Jer 22:8-9; Eze 14:22-23) But I will spare a few men of them from
    the sword, from famine, and from pestilence, so that they may declare
    all their abominations among the nations where they go and know
    that I am the Lord.
    17 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
    18 Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water
    with trembling and with anxiety.
    19 (Zec 7:14; Eze 6:6-7) And say to the people of the land,
    Thus says the Lord God concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the land
    of Israel: They shall eat their bread with carefulness
    and drink their water with astonishment, because their land shall be
    desolate from all that is in it, because of the violence of all those
    who dwell in it.
    20 (Isa 7:23-24; Jer 4:7) The cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.
    21 The word of the Lord came to me, saying:
    22 (Eze 11:3; 12:27) Son of man, what is this proverb that you people
    have in the land of Israel, saying,
    "The days are prolonged, and every vision fails"?
    23 (Joel 2:1; Zep 1:14) Tell them therefore, "Thus says the Lord God:
    I will make this proverb cease so that they shall no more use it
    as a proverb in Israel." But say to them, The days are at hand
    and the effect of every vision.
    24 (Eze 13:23; Zec 13:2-4) For there shall be no more any vain vision
    or flattering divination within the house of Israel.
    25 (Isa 14:24; Hab 1:5) For I the Lord will speak, and the word
    that I speak shall come to pass. It shall be no more prolonged.
    For in your days, O rebellious house, I will say the word,
    and will perform it, says the Lord God.
    26 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
    27 (Da 10:14; Eze 12:22) Son of man, look, the house of Israel says,
    "The vision that he sees is for many days to come,
    and he prophesies of the times that are far off."
    28 Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord God: There shall none
    of My words be prolonged anymore, but the word which I have spoken
    shall be done, says the Lord God.

    [1] The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying,
    [2] Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are
    a rebellious house.
    [3] Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove
    by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place
    in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a rebellious house.
    [4] Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff
    for removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their sight, as they that
    go forth into captivity.
    [5] Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.
    [6] In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth
    in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground:
    for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.
    [7] And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as
    stuff for captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall with mine
    hand; I brought it forth in the twilight, and I bare it upon my shoulder in their sight.
    [8] And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,
    [9] Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said
    unto thee, What doest thou?
    [10] Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.
    [11] Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto
    them: they shall remove and go into captivity.
    [12] And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes. [13] My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare:
    and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he
    not see it, though he shall die there.
    [14] And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help
    him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.
    [15] And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.
    [16] But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
    [17] Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
    [18] Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with
    trembling and with carefulness;
    [19] And say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their
    bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her
    land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of
    all them that dwell therein.
    [20] And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land
    shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
    [21] And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
    [22] Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
    [23] Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb
    to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.
    [24] For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
    [25] For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.
    [26] Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
    [27] Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off.
    [28] Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of
    my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be
    done, saith the Lord GOD.

    Ezekiel 13

    False Prophets Condemned

    1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
    2 (Jer 37:19; Eze 13:17) Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy out of their own hearts,
    "Hear the word of the Lord!"
    3 (Jer 23:28-32; La 2:14) Thus says the Lord God: Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing!
    4 O Israel, your prophets are like the foxes in the ruins.
    5 (Isa 58:12; Eze 22:30) You have not gone up into the gaps, nor did you
    build up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle on the day
    of the Lord.
    6 (Eze 22:28; Jer 28:15) They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, "The Lord says," when the Lord has not sent them. And they have made others
    to hope for the confirmation of their word.
    7 Have you not seen a vain vision, and have you not spoken a lying divination when you say, "The Lord says," yet it is not I who have spoken?
    8 (Eze 5:8; 21:3) Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you have spoken vanity and seen lies, therefore I am against you, says the Lord God.
    9 (Ps 69:28; 87:6) Thus My hand shall be against the prophets who see vanity and who divine lies. They shall not have a place in the council of My people, nor shall they be written in the register of the house of Israel, nor shall they enter into the land of Israel so that you may know that I am
    the Lord God.
    10 (Jer 6:14; Eze 13:16) It is surely because they have seduced My people, saying, "Peace," when there was no peace. And when anyone builds up a wall, they daub it with whitewash.
    11 (Eze 38:22; Isa 28:2) Say to those who daub it with whitewash
    that it shall fall. There shall be an overflowing shower, and you,
    O great hailstones, shall fall. And a stormy wind shall break it.
    12 When the wall has fallen, will you not be asked,
    "Where is the whitewash with which you have daubed it?"
    13 (Isa 30:30; Ps 148:8; Rev 11:19) Therefore thus says the Lord God:
    I will make a violent wind break out in My fury.
    And there shall be an overflowing shower in My anger, and hailstones
    in My fury to consume it.
    14 (Jer 6:15; Mic 1:6) So I will break down the wall that you have daubed
    with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground so that its foundation
    is laid bare. And when it falls, you shall be consumed in its midst.
    And you shall know that I am the Lord.
    15 Thus I will accomplish My wrath upon the wall and upon those who have
    daubed it with whitewash, and I will say to you, The wall is no more,
    nor those who daubed it,
    16 (Jer 6:14; Eze 13:10) along with the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem and who see visions of peace for her
    when there is no peace, says the Lord God.
    17 (Eze 13:2; Jdg 4:4) Now you, son of man, set your face against
    the daughters of your people who prophesy out of their own heart
    and prophesy against them,
    18 (Eze 13:20; 2Pe 2:14) and say, Thus says the Lord God: Woe to the women
    who sew magic bands on all wrists and make veils on the heads of persons
    of every stature to hunt souls! Will you hunt the souls of My people
    but save the souls alive of others for yourselves?
    19 (Pr 28:21; Mic 3:5) And you pollute Me among My people for handfuls
    of barley and pieces of bread to slay the souls of those who should not die
    and to save the souls alive of those who should not live by your lying
    to My people who hear your lies.
    20 Therefore thus says the Lord God: I am against your magic bands
    with which you hunt the souls there as birds, and I will tear them
    from your arms, and will let the souls go,
    even the souls that you hunt as birds.
    21 Your veils also I will tear off and deliver My people out of your hands,
    and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted. And you shall know
    that I am the Lord.
    22 (Jer 23:14) Because with lies you have made the heart of the righteous
    sad, whom I have not made sad, and strengthened the hands of the wicked
    that he should not turn from his wicked way and save his life,
    23 (Eze 13:21; 12:24; Mic 3:6) therefore you women shall no more see vanity
    or practice divinations, and I will deliver My people out of your hand.
    Thus you shall know that I am the Lord.

    [1] And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
    [2] Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and
    say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word
    of the LORD;
    [3] Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow
    their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
    [4] O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.
    [5] Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the
    house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.
    [6] They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and
    the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they
    would confirm the word.
    [7] Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying
    divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith it; albeit I have not spoken?
    [8] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and
    seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord GOD.
    [9] And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that
    divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall
    they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they
    enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
    [10] Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter:
    [11] Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall
    fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it.
    [12] Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is
    the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it?
    [13] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend it with a stormy
    wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger,
    and great hailstones in my fury to consume it.
    [14] So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered
    morter, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof
    shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the
    midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
    [15] Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered morter, and will say unto you, The wall is no
    more, neither they that daubed it;
    [16] To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord
    GOD.
    [17] Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against
    them,
    [18] And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew pillows to
    all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt
    souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?
    [19] And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the
    souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?
    [20] Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them
    from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to
    make them fly.
    [21] Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your
    hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
    [22] Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I
    have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should
    not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:
    [23] Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I
    will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the
    LORD.

    Seeing with God's Heart</a> by Monica La Rose

    Psalm 146

    1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul!
    2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) While I live I will praise the Lord;
    I will sing praises unto my God while Ihave my life.
    3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Do not put your trust in princes,
    nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.
    4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) His breath leaves him, and he returns to the earth;
    on that very day his plans perish.
    5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Blessed is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
    whose hope is in the Lord his God,
    6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) who made heaven, and earth,
    the sea, and all that is in them,
    who keeps faithfulness forever,
    7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) who executes justice for the oppressed,
    who gives food to the hungry. The Lord releases the prisoners.
    8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) The Lord opens the eyes of the blind;
    the Lord raises those who are brought down; the Lord loves the righteous.
    9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) The Lord preserves the sojourners;
    He lifts up the fatherless and widow,
    but on the way of the wicked He brings disaster.
    10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) The Lord shall reign forever,
    your God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise you the Lord!

    Psalms 146
    [1] Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
    [2] While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God
    while I have any being.
    [3] Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is
    no help.
    [4] His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
    [5] Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in
    the LORD his God:
    [6] Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:
    [7] Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:
    [8] The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:
    [9] The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and
    widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
    [10] The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all
    generations. Praise ye the LORD.

    On Chantale's 13th birthday, after hours of joyful celebration in her quiet home village, gunfire shattered the peaceful evening. Chantale and her siblings ran into the forest, obeying their mother's frantic command to hide. All night, they huddled underneath the sanctuary of a tree. "The sun appeared in the morning. But not our parents," Chantale recounts. She and her siblings were now orphans and refugees, joining tens of thousands in a refugee camp.

    When we hear stories like Chantale's, it can be tempting to turn away from such overwhelming loss. But those who believe in the God of Scripture believe in a God who never looks away from suffering, who attentively "preserveth
    the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow:" (Psalm 146:9).

    "Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which
    keepeth truth for ever:" (v. 6), ever at work upholding
    "the cause of the oppressed" and providing "food to the hungry" (v. 7).

    Chantale Zuzi Leader, who founded an organization to educate refugee girls, says her experience taught her that
    "anyone can become a refugee - to lose that place of safety they once had."

    May our response to those who've lost a place of safety reflect the heart
    of the God, who is an ever-faithful "refuge for the oppressed" (9:9),
    who "lifts up those who are bowed down" (146:8).

    Reflect & Pray
    How have you or someone you know lost a place of safety?
    How can God work through such experiences?

    Faithful God, thank You for being
    a refuge for all who hurt. Please help me reflect Your heart.

    Week 5 Rejoice in Grace - Day 6 God Works!

    Phil 2:12-13

    12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but so much more in my absence, work out your own salvation
    with fear and trembling.
    13 For God is the One working in you, both to will and to do His good pleasure.

    12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence
    only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation
    with fear and trembling.
    13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will
    and to do of his good pleasure.

    "I just can't do it!" Marlys, a career woman in her 30s, was struggling to fit her new Christian principles into the business world. Accustomed to the cutthroat tactics of the corporate hierarchy, she has a hard time knowing Jesus' examples of grace and mercy applied.
    Marlys was right. She couldn't do it. In our own strength, none of us is able to "live the Christian life." Someone has said, " The Christian life isn't difficult -- it's impossible!" Only the power of the Holy Spirit is
    effective to work the needed changes in our priorities and behaviour;
    only God can accomplish what he calls us to do.
    In Phillippians 2:12, Paul says "work it out." If we stop there,
    we are likely to throw up our hands in despair.
    But the good news appears in verse 13:
    " For God is the One working in you, both to will and to do His good pleasure." WE are not left on our own to figure out how to live the Christian life.
    God gives us both the will and the ability to obey him, to live in a way
    that will please him.
    The key to a God-pleasing life is not performance, but obedience. God does not expect us to "do great things" for him, to deserve his love and grace.
    Our part in the process of salvation is to respond in obedience to the Lord,
    to say "yes" to what he asks of us. We cannot change ourselves;
    we cannot even know ourselves apart from the Spirit's insight. But
    as we cooperate with him, as we agree to be obedient, the Spirit changes us within, and those changes are "worked out" into our lives.

    Application

    a) Have I ever tried to "Live the Christian life" on my own strength?
    What was the result?

    b) In what practical ways is Paul's declaration that "God works in me"
    good new in my life?

    4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

    2 Cor 9:8,11

    8 God is able to make all grace abound toward you,
    so that you, always having enough of everything,
    may abound to every good work.
    11 So you will be enriched in everything to all bountifulness,
    which makes us give thanks to God.

    8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
    11 being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through
    us thanksgiving to God.

    5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:

    When you are Facing Pain and Suffering

    Ps 9:9-12

    9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed,
    a refuge in times of trouble.
    10 Those who know Your name will put their trust in You,
    for You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.
    11 Sing praises to the Lord who dwells in Zion;
    declare His deeds among the people.
    12 He who avenges deaths remembers them;
    He does not forget the cry of the humble.

    +o Waw
    9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed,
    A refuge in times of trouble.
    10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee:
    For thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
    +u Zain
    11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion:
    Declare among the people his doings.
    12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them:
    He forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

    The Lord's prayer

    Matthew 6:9-13

    9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
    Our Father who is in heaven,
    hallowed be Your name.
    10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
    Your will be done
    on earth, as it is in heaven.
    11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
    12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
    as we forgive our debtors.
    13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from evil.
    For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."

    9 After this manner therefore pray ye:
    Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
    10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
    11 Give us this day our daily bread.
    12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
    13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
    For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

    6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)

    New Brunswick

    Total population 753900
    Muslim population (est.) 4543

    Moncton, followed by Fredericton and Saint John, each have a growing Muslim population in New Brunswick, In 2007, the building that was formerly a Baptist church was converted into Moncton's 1st mosque. The University of Moncton
    also has a Muslim student association hosting prayer services, fellowship getherings, and outreaches on campus.
    Fredericton also has one mosque and a Muslim student association serving the campuses of the University of New Brunswick and St. Thomas University. Fredericton's Muslim population consists in 2014 of about 50 families,
    and between 300 to 400 university students.
    Saint John is home to the 1st Muslim Association for the province,
    which also helped foster the Islamic associations of Fredericton and Moncton.
    a 'musalla', or prayer location that is not officially structured as a mosque, has been established in the Uptown area with the intention of seeing it grow into a 2nd official place of Muslim worship. Demand for this new location has been primarily for university students moving into the area.

    Pray for Muslims and New Brunswick
    - that the eyes of pastors, believers and entire congregations will be opened to see this growing body of Muslims, and their hearts will be opened
    to sharing God's love in Jesus Christ with them

    - that intentional ministries to Muslims will grow and flourish in these
    areas of concentration

    - that cooperative CNNMM Networks will form to really, encourage,
    and equip believers to lovingly reach Muslims in this province.

    30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020

    Under the Keep Praying page

    When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and, of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be decorated and festivals will be held.
    For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of Islam.
    You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
    which means Blessed Eid!"
    Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you know, and Muslims around the world:
    - Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

    Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other, "What does this mean?"
    13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."

    Peter's Speech at Pentecost

    14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice
    and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,
    let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
    15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,
    since it is the third hour of the day.
    16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
    17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,
    'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
    your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
    your young men shall see visions,
    and your old men shall dream dreams.'

    - Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective discipleship movements among Muslim people.

    - Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.

    Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
    a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the house."

    Ideas for prayer

    - Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
    - Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving Christ among Muslim people -

    Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
    - When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!

    And

    Thank you for praying through the
    5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.

    "My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,
    I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to
    cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.

    Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians
    and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the
    love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.
    One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by
    light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.

    As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution
    to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.

    Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.
    Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father
    to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.

    I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs. God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom
    and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."

    13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy
    and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,
    through the power of the Holy Spirit.

    [13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that
    ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

    ROMANS 15:13
