Pamphlet 1246 Ezek kc 35

Modern "golden calves",
"Bull",
and ministers have
"set up"
in substitution for going to His Word?

This Book of Ezekiel incredible?

And to think that for most Christians
this precious gem of truth just lays "back there"
in the Old Testament sandwiched between Jeremiah and Daniel
and is almost completely ignored by their pastors and preachers
who just tell their sheep that everything is peachy and rosy
as they continue spewing forth their "traditions of men",
which IS idolatry,
the likes of which most cannot see!

Perhaps this 20th chapter of Ezekiel would help
if they ever took the time to read it,
but then some are just too busy "doing things"
in the name of Jesus to bother with what He has to say in His Word.

Well, king Solomon said there is nothing new under the sun,
and following his reign the southern tribe of Judah
(The House of Judah)
along with the tribe of Benjamin
separated themselves from the other 10 northern tribes of Israel
(The House of Israel).

Jeroboam became king over the northern House of Israel
and built places of worship and set up golden calves
for people to come and worship,
lest they go down to Jerusalem
and follow after Rehoboam, king of Judah.

Here's part of the narrative in 1 Kings 12:

1 Kings 12:28-30 Whereupon the king [Jeroboam] took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them [the people], It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
This is the same "Bull" their fathers were given
when Moses went up into mountain to receive the Commandments of God!

Today, in modern churchianity,
only the form of the "idols" have changed
but the "Bull" remains the same.

This makes our Father VERY angry.
 Do you think it made Him less angry when Jeroboam did it
and set up the molten calves upon the hills of Samaria?

How do you think He feels about the "traditions of men" today
which are the modern "golden calves", "Bull",
which the preachers and ministers have "set up"
in substitution for going to His Word?

This is the great lesson of this 20th chapter of Ezekiel.

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.
