Pamphlet 1217 Ezek kc 15-2

Does He hear your prayers?

Our Father constantly and consistently likens adultery, fornication, and whoredom
to the religious practices of His people.

It is written throughout the Bible,
from the beginning perversions in Genesis
to the great whore of Revelation.

EVERYTHING has been demonstrated physically,
in the flesh,
that is happening spiritually today.

In fact, if one really wants to understand salvation,
they should read the book titled "Salvation of Yah", i.e. the book of Hosea.

What?

Read about salvation in the Old Testament?

You got it!

Our Father told Hosea to go marry a whore!

He wanted him to know what the Lord's marriage to His wife,
Israel,
felt like.

He married her and she became a WHORE!

And this very day His woman,
His church,
His bride-to-be continues in her idolatry.

In fact,
when Jesus returns He will find many of them WITH CHILD (spiritually).

Woe unto them!

They've been whoring around again!

As He said on the way to Golgotha,
the day will come when it will be called a blessing to be barren.

In other words,
we are to remain VIRGINS and wait for the Bridegroom.

Too descriptive for a nice church-going Christian?

Then just stick to Easter Bunnies
and other traditions of men and don't bother studying His Word.

Pretend you are going to fly away into the clouds
in some swooping rapture when the king of Babylon comes.

Or, you can put on the gospel armor and be a Christian Soldier.

The choice is yours,
and we've already learned the each one of us
will be recompensed according to our own decisions.

Ezekiel 8:15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
So the question is again:
"Do you have the eyes to SEE the abominations
in the churches that the people do?"

If you do,
then get ready to SEE even greater abominations than that last one!

The reason this next verse contains
"greater abominations"
than even the heathen sexual revels of the people
is because the leaders of the 24 courses of the Levitical Priesthood
(1 Chron. 24:1-19),
along with the high priest himself (25 priests in all),
not only participate in the traditions of men,
the example given being the heathen ritual of sun worship,
but they do it
"between the porch and the altar",
"with their backs toward the temple",
making obeisance to the rising sun!

[16] And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.
As we noted earlier,
it is one thing for the people to follow the traditions of men,
but it is a greater abomination for a minister or priest of God,
who should uphold the oracles of God
and teach them to the people,
to be participants in such heathen practices!

It is written that judgment will begin with them,
the trusties of the house of God,
and as we read in chapter 3 vs. 18,
the people's blood will be upon them.

Want to teach God's Word?

You better make sure you first eat the whole book and digest it.

Ezekiel 8:17 Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
The word "violence" means "unrighteousness"
and the word "branch", well... I hate to even go there.

If you have a Companion Bible it is fully explained in appendix 42.

The Hebrew word is "asherah".

Is it a light thing then?

Is it really no big deal that we bring in heathen,
idolatrous, fertility symbols into the churches,
into the houses of God for Ishtar,
and stand facing east toward the sun for Easter Sunrise Worship Services?

Have you ever asked yourself where all this came from?

Jesus did not even rise with the sun.

When Mary Magdalene came to the sepulcher early in the morning,
it was STILL DARK and He was GONE already!

Eat this verse and digest it:

John 20:1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
Many would say,
"Oh, we are not celebrating Ishtar
and giving our children symbols of fertility.

We are celebrating "Resurrection Sunday"
and using symbols of "new life"
like eggs and Lilies (and a brand new dress).

You can call a skunk anything you like,
but if it looks like a skunk and smells like a skunk,
though you call it a rose,
it is still a skunk.

I'm not too poetic, so here is
"Thus saith the Lord":

Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
The exact same thing is repeated two chapters later for emphasis.
Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Our Father doesn't like it no matter how right it seems unto us.

He has had everything He wants us to do written and explained in His Word,
line by line, chapter by chapter, and verse by verse,
along with everything that is going to happen prophetically in His plan.

Jesus said in Mark 13:23 "But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things."

It just makes Him furious that His children disobey
and ignore His letter of love and instruction to them,
and it will bring about the chastisement we read of in chapter 7.

So it is written, so shall it be done.

Ezekiel 8:18 Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
Does He hear your prayers?

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.
