Pamphlet #1184 ezek kc 62-2

"Wasn't that a great sermon, honey?"

Ezekiel 33:30  Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD.

The people were talking about Ezekiel and saying to one another things like:

"What do you want to do today, honey?"

"I dunno. Let's go listen to Ezekiel preach the Word of God."

"Hey, great idea! Let's go."

[31] And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.
"Wasn't that a great sermon, honey?
Boy, Ezekiel sure can preach.
He really knows his Bible, too."

"Did you catch the part where he said you must "hunger and thirst"
after God's Word and study it to show yourself approved?"

"Yeah, I heard that,
but he obviously doesn't know that I have a business to run
and I don't have that kind of time to study the Bible."

[32] And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not.
I guess it is now obvious that what the apostles Paul and James said
concerning being "doers" wasn't just New Testament stuff!
Romans 2:13  (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

James 1:22  But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

This should put to rest the theory that just going to church
and listening to the Word of God
(which probably isn't even spoken there) is good enough?

So if you think going to church is good enough,
you are sorely deceived indeed!

That's man's way.

That's man's ideas and traditions!

They seem good and they seem religious, but they lead to death!

Nevertheless,
Ezekiel, you keep telling it like it is,
for that which the Lord GOD has said "will" come to pass,
SHALL COME TO PASS!

There is no "maybe", the king of Babylon "is" coming!

Ezekiel 33:33 And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
There will be not doubt that the Word of God was truly spoken by His watchman!
 

To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits; to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you accomplish both.
