Today's Reading
We enter the prophecy given to Ezekiel. Some prophets were like Jeremiah, speaking from the hot zone of Jerusalem while God was carrying out His judgment upon His people. Ezekiel was from the northern kingdom of Israel and was among previous exiles to Babylon. It is amazing what God showed him about what was going on in Jerusalem and what was coming soon after.
I am requiring you to bear Israel's sins for 390 days—one day for each year of their sin. After that, turn over and lie on your right side for 40 days—one day for each year of Judah's sin. (Ezekiel 4:5, 6 NLT) Having read that, can we really believe that God takes sin lightly? I shudder to think about how lightly we take it!
