A Prophecy to the Mountains of Israel

1 And thou, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say to the mountains of Israel, Hear ye the word of the Lord: 2 Thus saith the Lord God; Because the enemy has said against you, Aha, the old waste places are become a possession for us: 3 therefore prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Because ye have been dishonoured, and hated by those round about you, that ye might be a possession to the remainder of the nations, and ye became a by-word, and a reproach to the nations: 4 therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord; Thus saith the Lord to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the streams, and to the valleys, and to the places that have been made desolate and destroyed, and to the cities that have been deserted, and have become a spoil and a trampling to the nations that were left round about; 5 therefore, thus saith the Lord; Verily in the fire of my wrath have I spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Idumea, because they have appropriated my land to themselves for a possession with joy, disregarding the lives of the inhabitants, to destroy it by plunder: 6 therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the valleys, and to the forests, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because ye have borne the reproaches of the heathen: 7 therefore I will lift up my hand against the nations that are round about you; they shall bear their reproach. 8 But your grapes and your fruits, O mountains of Israel, shall my people eat; for they are hoping to come. 9 For, behold, I am toward you, and I will have respect to you, and ye shall be tilled and sown: 10 and I will multiply men upon you, even all the house of Israel to the end: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the desolate land shall be built upon. 11 And I will multiply men and cattle upon you; and I will cause you to dwell as at the beginning, and will treat you well, as in your former times: and ye shall know that I am the Lord. 12 And I will increase men upon you, even my people Israel; and they shall inherit you, and ye shall be to them for a possession; and ye shall no more be bereaved of them.

13 Thus saith the Lord God: Because they said to thee, Thou land devourest men, and hast been bereaved of thy nation; 14 therefore thou shalt no more devour men, and thou shalt no more bereave thy nation, saith the Lord God. 15 And there shall no more be heard against you the reproach of the nations, and ye shall no more bear the revilings of the peoples, saith the Lord God.

A New Heart and a New Spirit

16 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 17 Son of man, the house of Israel dwelt upon their land, and defiled it by their way, and with their idols, and with their uncleannesses; and their way was before me like the uncleanness of a removed woman. 18 So I poured out my wrath upon them: 19 and I dispersed them among the nations, and utterly scattered them through the countries: I judged them according to their way and according to their sin. 20 And they went in among the nations, among which they went, and they profaned my holy name, while it was said of them, These are the people of the Lord, and they came forth out of his land. 21 but I spared them for the sake of my holy name, which the house of Israel profaned among the nations, among whom they went.

22 Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord; I do not this, O house of Israel, for your sakes, but because of my holy name, which ye have profaned among the nations, among whom ye went. 23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the nations, which ye profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, when I am sanctified among you before their eyes. 24 And I will take you out from the nations, and will gather you out of all the lands, and will bring you into your own land: 25 and I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be purged from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols, and I will cleanse you. 26 And I will give you a new heart, and will put a new spirit in you: and I will take away the heart of stone out of your flesh, and will give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit in you, and will cause you to walk in mine ordinances, and to keep my judgments, and do them. 28 And ye shall dwell upon the land which I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be to me a people, and I will be to you a God. 29 And I will save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and multiply it, and will not bring famine upon you. 30 And I will multiply the fruit of the trees, and the produce of the field, that ye may not bear the reproach of famine among the nations. 31 And ye shall remember your evil ways and your practices that were not good, and ye shall be hateful in your own sight for your transgressions and for your abominations. 32 Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord God, as it is known to you: be ye ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.

33 Thus saith the Lord God; In the day wherein I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities I will also cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be built upon: 34 and the desolate land shall be cultivated, whereas it was desolate in the eyes of every one that passed by. 35 And they shall say, That desolate land is become like a garden of delight; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are inhabited. 36 And the nations, as many as shall have been left round about you, shall know that I the Lord have built the ruined cities and planted the waste lands: I the Lord have spoken, and will do it.

37 Thus saith the Lord God; Yet for this will I be sought by the house of Israel, to establish them; I will multiply them even men as sheep; 38 as holy sheep, as the sheep of Jerusalem in her feasts; thus shall the desert cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the Lord. — Ezekiel 36 | Brenton's Septuagint Translation (BST) The English translation of The Septuagint by Sir Lancelot Charles Lee Brenton (1851) Cross References: Leviticus 15:19; Leviticus 26:4; Leviticus 26:9; Numbers 13:32; Deuteronomy 9:5; Deuteronomy 11:11; Deuteronomy 32:13; 2 Chronicles 34:21; Job 42:12; Psalm 43:5; Psalm 44:13-14; Psalm 47:10; Psalm 51:2; Psalm 74:18; Psalm 89:50; Psalm 102:15; Isaiah 4:2; Isaiah 27:6; Isaiah 44:3; Isaiah 51:3; Jeremiah 15:7; Jeremiah 30:22; Jeremiah 31:19; Jeremiah 42:10; Ezekiel 6:2; Ezekiel 34:13-14; Daniel 2:18; Mark 3:8; John 2:14; John 3:3; John 3:5; Acts 2:36; Romans 2:6; Romans 2:24

Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks

Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks

Today we will be looking at the topic of forgiveness, and how it relates to the condition of our heart. If forgiveness resides in our heart, we can then speak and act on that forgiveness. However, if what we say is unforgiving, then the words we speak illustrate or reveal what is actually in our hearts. Luke 6:45 – The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good,…

God Will Give a New Heart (Ezekiel 36:24-28)

Typically, about two or three days into possessing this new heart, a new realization comes along with it: Someone else had to die so that I could live….

I will take you from every nation and country and bring you back to your own land. I will sprinkle clean water on you and make you clean from all your idols and everything else that has defiled you. I will give you a new heart and a new mind. I will take away your stubborn heart of stone and give you an obedient heart. I will put my spirit in you and will see to it that you follow my laws and…

EZEKIEL S.O.A.P. ~ CHAPTER 36

Monday, 7/2/23

SCRIPTURE:

"For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you will be cultivated and sown." ... "Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.  "I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances." ~ Ezekiel 36:9, 26-27

OBSERVATION:

Personalize translation:

"For behold, [He] is for [me], and [He has turned] to [me], and [ I have been] cultivated and sown"

"Moreover, [He has given me] a new heart and put a new spirit within [me];

"and [He has removed] the heart of stone from [my] flesh and [given me] a heart of flesh.

"[He has] put [His] Spirit within [me], and [caused me] to walk in [His] statutes, and [ I ] will be careful to observe [His] ordinances."

Sounds a lot like Corinthians... Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

...and Jesus's promise to send the Holy Spirit...

APPLICATION:

Live cultivated...

Walk in His statutes...

Be careful to observe His ordinances...

PRAYER:

Renewing, cultivating Heavenly Father - I ask forgiveness for the times I return my heart to the stoney ground of selfishness and sin, for failing to walk in Your statutes or carefully observe Your ordinances... Thank You for Your promised Holy Spirit's reminders and guidance returning me Your Word... and for Jesus's example and sacrifice on my behalf... In His Name, Father, and for Your glory above all else...

Have an enjoyable Fourth...

Yours, joyfully, in Him..

Ezekiel 36:26

[walkswithmyfather]

“[1] To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.[2] O my God, in you I trust;do not let me be put to shame;do not let my enemies exult over me. [4] Make me to know your ways, O Lord;teach me your paths.[5] Lead me in your truth, and teach me,for you are the God of my salvation;for you I wait all day long. [10] All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness,for those who keep his covenant and his decrees.[11] For your name's sake, O Lord,pardon my guilt, for it is great.[12] Who are they that fear the Lord?He will teach them the way that they should choose.[13] They will abide in prosperity,and their children shall possess the land.[14] The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear him,and he makes his covenant known to them. [21] May integrity and uprightness preserve me,for I wait for you.” (From Psalm 25, NRSV)

“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.” (Ezekiel 36:26, NIV)

“Softening Your Heart” By In Touch Ministries: “When you trust God, there's no limit to what He can do through your life.”

“When we continually spend time with God in His Word, His presence will saturate our heart, making us sensitive and teachable. But just as a human relationship can grow cold unless we intentionally nurture it, the heart can gradually harden when we aren’t seeking intimacy with God. For our heart to stay soft and receptive, we must obediently—and promptly—respond to whatever the Lord tells us to do.

If you believe that God might be leading you in a certain direction, take the time to earnestly seek His mind on the matter and intentionally listen for His response. Then avoid getting busy with a substitute for what He originally called you to do. It would be tragic to work hard doing what you and others consider good, only to discover that you accomplished something that was not God’s intention.

Resisting the Lord often amounts to setting His purposes for your life on a shelf. And that will likely leave you feeling something is missing. There’s no substitute for God’s will, even when His plan might seem difficult or impossible. But when you trustfully approach God with a cooperative heart, there’s no limit to what He can accomplish through your life. So, step out in obedience today and say, “Lord, I want Your will—no matter what.”

Always speaking the truth from a renewed heart

Today we will be looking at the core Bible principle of the Kingdom of God, and how the establishment of the Kingdom is dependent on the truthfulness of its population. This was represented by the simplest of commands among the Ten Commandments that God spoke from Sinai. Exodus 20:16 – You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

10th Luke 19:1 - 10 Luke 18:9 - 14

Zaccheaus Roman rule

Salvation

Zaccheaus

For us

Romans

They used puppet rulers whenever possible.

Therefore they favoured the existing power structure.

Therefore while Jesus was drawing large crowds Rome wasn't concerned, nor involved. However, the Jewish Leaders were concerned that if things got too far that Rome would intervene in a way that wouldn't end well for them.

John 11:41 - 50 That they would loose everything.

Zaccheus Roman Taxes

Land tax

Import and Export

Entering Judea via Jericho because Samaria was avoided.

The tax collectors had a reputation of cheating others.

Salvation vs 9 Repentance. The starting point. Sin

It is more than being naughty or disobedient.

There is more going on.

Genesis 3 Adam and Eve wanted to know more and to decide for themselves what was Good and Evil.

Sin

Removing God from the situation.

The parable The Pharisee was boasting to God about how good he was.

Repent Turning around. The tax collector knew he was in the wrong.

The starting point. Also the continuing point. We should always be calling upon Him,

Ezekiel 36:25 - 27

He comes into our heart and He works on it.

Zaccheaus A sense of right and wrong.

There is an objective right and wrong This is determined by God.

We are all sinners

We need to be in a relationship with God.
