A JEALOUS GOD
Ezekiel 8
1. And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house with the elders of Judah sitting before me, that the hand of the Lord God fell upon me there.
2. Then I looked, and there was a likeness, like the appearance of fire from the appearance of His waist and downward, fire; and from His waist and upward, like the appearance of brightness, like the color of amber.
3. He stretched out the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my hair; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven, and brought me in visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the north gate of the inner court, where the seat of the image of jealousy was, which provokes to jealousy.
4. And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, like the vision that I saw in the plain.
5. Then He said to me, "Son of man, lift your eyes now toward the north.'' So I lifted my eyes toward the north, and there, north of the altar gate, was this image of jealousy in the entrance.
6. Furthermore He said to me, "Son of man, do you see what they are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel commits here, to make Me go far away from My sanctuary? Now turn again, you will see greater abominations.''
WE ARE SO USE TO IGNORING GOD.
WE MAY USE HIM SOME BRIEF TIME.
GOD IS A JEALOUS GOD.
HE DESIRES OUR BEST.
HE DESIRES US.
IF WE DO HIM WRONG THERE IS A PRICE TO PAY.
YES, GOD IS A LOVING, MERCIFUL GOD.
BUT HE IS A JEALOUS GOD- READ THIS PASSAGE AGAIN.
