The Lord God Has Ezekiel Shave His Head & Beard |
Ezekiel 5:1-17 The Book of Ezekiel [in Smaller Chunks] |
And you, Son of man, take [yourself] a sharp knife & a barber's razor & shave your head & beard. Then, take [yourself] three balances, [a.k.a. scales,] & divide the hair to weigh. |
You shall burn a 1/3 [portion] with fire in the [middle] of the city, when the days of [its battle are finished.] And you shall take a 1/3 [portion & cut around in] it with the knife. And a 1/3 [portion,] you shall scatter in the wind & I will draw out a sword after them. |
You shall also take, a few in number [of the hairs,] & [tie] them in [the bottom of your garments.] Then, take [some] of them again & [throw] them into the midst of the fire & burn them in the fire. For a fire shall come [out, into] all the house of Israel. |
The Lord God says [this;] This is Jerusalem & I have [put] it in the midst of the nations & countries that are [all around] her. And she has [revised:] My judgments into wickedness more than the nations & My [mandates] more than all the countries that are [around] her. |
For they have refused My judgments & My [mandates] & they haven't [followed] in them. Therefore, the Lord God says [this;] Because you [have] multiplied [yourselves] more than the nations that are [all around] you & haven't [followed] in My [mandates] & neither have you kept My judgments, [nor] done according to the judgments of the nations that are [all around] you; |
Therefore, the Lord God says [this; Watch,] I, even I, Am against you & will [carry out] judgments in the midst of you, in the sight of the nations. And I will do in you, [what] I haven't done, because of all your abominations & I won't do [similarly] any more. |
[Matthew 24:21-22 For then shall be great tribulation, such as [didn't exist] since the beginning of the world, [until] this time, no, nor ever shall be. And there [would] be no flesh saved, [unless] those days [would] be shortened. But for the sake [of the elect,] those days shall be shortened.] |
Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of you & the sons shall eat their fathers. And I will [carry out] judgments [on] you & I will scatter [those remaining] of you into all the winds. |
[Ezekiel 26:7-10 For the Lord God says [this; Look,] upon Tyrus, I will bring Nebuchadrezzar, [a.k.a. Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king, a king of kings, from the North, with: horses; chariots; horsemen; [troops;] & [many] people. |
He shall slay your daughters in the field with the sword. And he shall make a fort against you; [throw an embankment] against you & lift up the shield against you.] |
The Lord God says, Surely, as I Live, [for this reason, since] you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable things & with all your abominations, therefore, I will also [reduce] you & neither shall My eye spare, [nor] will I have any pity. |
[Ezekiel 23:37-39 They have committed adultery & blood is [on] their hands. And they have committed adultery with their idols. And have also caused their sons, whom they [bore] to Me, to pass through the fire, to devour them, for [their idols.] |
[Additionally,] they have done this to Me. They have defiled My sanctuary [on] the same day & have profaned My Sabbaths. For when they had [sacrificed] their children to their idols, they came the same day into My sanctuary to [defile] it. And [look,] they have done [this] in the midst of My house.] |
A 1/3 [portion] of you shall die [by] pestilence & they shall be consumed [by] famine in the midst of you. And a 1/3 [portion] shall fall by the sword [all around] you. And I will scatter a 1/3 [portion] into all the winds. And I will draw out a sword after them. |
[Like this,] My anger shall be [carried out] & I will [make] My fury to rest upon them & I will be comforted. And they shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it in My zeal, when I have accomplished My fury [upon] them. |
[Also,] I will make you [wastelands & a disgrace] in the sight of all, [who] pass by & among the nations that are [all around] you. So, it shall be a [disgrace] [& a song for taunting with a lesson.] |
And all the nations that are [all around] you [shall be astonished,] when I shall [carry out] judgments [on] you in anger; fury & in furious [scoldings.] I, the Lord, have spoken it. When I shall send the evil arrows of famine upon them, which shall be for their destruction. |
Which I will send to destroy you & I will increase the famine upon you & will break your [supply] of bread. So, I will send a famine upon you & [wild animals] & they shall [deprive] you [of your loved ones.] And pestilence & [bloodshed] shall pass through you. And I will bring the sword upon you. I, the Lord, have spoken it. |
[Revelation 6:8] And I looked & [saw] a pale horse. And the name of [him, who] sat upon him was Death & Hell followed with him. And power was given to them over 1/4 [portion] of the earth, to kill with [the:] sword; hunger; death & with the [wild animals] of the earth.] |
