Ezekiel 9: Reading #463 the Sealing While Ezekiel Was Being Shown The #463 14-May-08 11:08 a.m. Ezekiel 9: Reading #463 The sealing While Ezekiel was being shown the depths of the degradation in the city, its probation closed, and the nation was reluctantly given over to its choice. As we read we will notice the similarity of these events to those of the final end time. In fact, the resemblance sways more to our time than theirs! All we have to do is substitute “church” for “city” to get a horrific view of what lies ahead. ***************(Begin Quote) Ezekiel 9: 1 He cried also in my ears with a loud voice, saying, “Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand”. 2 And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lies toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side [he was the recording angel]: and they [seven in total] went in, and stood beside the brass altar [of sacrifice, which stood in the courtyard]. ***************(End Quote) In the vision the “men” (who were really angels representing humanity in its destroying characteristic), came into view with their weapons already drawn. They too, came from the “north”, from behind the “image”. They were of course, loyal angels acting out the events of destruction of the city. They were not responsible for the carnage which was to come, but depicting that as God had to withdraw so sin would take its toll. However, amongst them was the one clothed in the garment of righteousness, whose job it was to record the names of those who were to be sealed, and then redeemed from among men. ***************(Begin Quote) Ezekiel 9: 3 And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub [in the second apartment], whereupon He was [had been], to the threshold of the house. ***************(End Quote) 1 #463 14-May-08 11:08 a.m. Ezekiel saw the Son of God move out of the second apartment of the sanctuary to the outer door of the sanctuary building because the first trial/judgment was now finished, and he listened intently as Christ called first to the “sealer” (aka the angel from the east, Revelation 7:2) and then to the “destroyers”. ***************(Begin Quote) Ezekiel 9: And He called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side; 4 and the LORD said to him, “Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men [and women] that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof”. ***************(End Quote) In these words we get a clear picture of those who were to be sealed; where and why. In their foreheads because that is the seat of the intellect, and in their hearts (signified by their tears) because they were feeling what God feels – utter helplessness in the face of human choices. The “mark” of protection was to be the result of their choice. However, courage, fortitude, faith, and implicit trust in God's power to save from temptation do not come in a moment. These heavenly graces are acquired by years of experience. By a life of holy endeavour and firm adherence to the right, these children of God had been sealing their destiny. Beset with temptations without number, they knew they must resist firmly or be conquered, and now they merely received the final touch. Thus it has always been. Those who would follow Christ today must be grounded upon the principles of truth. We need to understand what the Bible teaches in regard to faith, and sanctification through the truth.We must be so established in this knowledge that we cannot be moved to take false positions on the doctrine of holiness, but will be able to illustrate in our lives the practical workings of the heaven-given principle, “the Sabbath rest”. We must be able to distinguish between the genuine and the spurious, for that will be the major test. Just as soon as we are sealed in our foreheads – it is not any seal or mark that can be seen, but a settling into the truth, both intellectually and spiritually, so that we cannot be moved – just as soon as we are individually sealed and prepared for the shaking, it will come. The angel said, “Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, TILL we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads”. Revelation 7:3. 2 #463 14-May-08 11:08 a.m. The days are fast approaching when there will be great perplexity and confusion. Satan, clothed in angel robes, will deceive, if possible, the very elect before they are sealed. 2 Corinthians 11:14; Matthew 24:24. There will be gods many and lords many to choose from. 1 Corinthians 8:5. Every wind of doctrine will be blowing. Ephesians 4:14. The mark of the beast will be urged upon us by the civil powers. Those who have step by step yielded to worldly demands and conformed to worldly customs will not find it a hard matter to yield to the powers that be, rather than subject themselves to derision, insult, threatened imprisonment, and death. The contest will be between the commandments of God and the commandments of men. In this time the gold will be separated from the dross in the church. Ezekiel 22:18-19. True godliness will be clearly distinguished from the appearance and tinsel of it. Many a star that we have admired for its brilliancy will then go out in darkness. Chaff like a cloud will be borne away on the wind, even from places where we see only floors of rich wheat. All who had assumed the ornaments of the sanctuary, but were not clothed with Christ's righteousness, will appear in the shame of their own nakedness. Revelation 3:18. But there are men and women outside of the church who will have received the truth up to that time, and these will take the places made vacant by those who become offended and leave it. As we read the verses below we know that they describe the last “sealing”, but the principle is the same on every occasion. We must do as the remnant in Jerusalem had done. ***************(Begin Quote) Revelation 7: 1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind [of strife] should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3 saying, “Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads”. ***************(End Quote) John saw the elements of nature – earthquake, fire and tempest etc., as well as political strife – represented as being held by “four” loyal angels. These 3 #463 14-May-08 11:08 a.m. “winds” (aka the “four” disloyal angels, Revelation 9:14), are under their control until the Son of God reluctantly gives the word to let them go, and there is the safety of His people. However, Satan is using every device in this present sealing time to keep the minds of God's people from the present truth and to cause them to waver. But there is a covering that God is drawing over His own to protect them in the time of trouble; and every soul that is decided on the truth and is pure in heart is to be covered with the covering of the Almighty. Satan knows this, and he is at work in mighty power to keep the minds of as many people as he possibly can wavering and unsettled on the truth until it is too late. The people of God are described as sighing and crying for the abominations done in the land. With tears they had warned the rejecters of their danger in trampling upon the divine law, while with unutterable sorrow they had humbled themselves before the LORD on account of their own transgressions. (Consider Jeremiah’s “Lamentations”.) The rejecters mocked their sorrow, ridiculed their solemn appeals, and sneered at what they termed their weakness. But the anguish and humiliation of God's people was unmistakable evidence that they were regaining the strength and nobility of character lost in consequence of sin. While Satan was urging his accusations, holy angels, unseen, were passing to and fro, placing upon them the final seal of the living God. In like manner, those who will be true to God and to duty in the future will be menaced, denounced, and proscribed. They will be betrayed “both by parents, and brothers [and sisters], and kinsfolks, and friends”. Luke 21:16. Their only hope will be in the mercy of God; their only defence will be prayer. As Joshua was pleading before the Angel, so the remnant of the church, with brokenness of heart and earnest faith, will plead for pardon and deliverance through Jesus their Advocate. Note 1. Satan will urge his accusations against them before God, declaring that they have by their sins forfeited the divine protection, and claiming the right to destroy them as transgressors.

  • NOTES to the SEPTUAGINT EZEKIEL 6 Thematically Chapter 6
    NOTES TO THE SEPTUAGINT EZEKIEL 6 Thematically chapter 6 continues chapters 4–5 with its threatening predictions. From a dramatized condemnation of Jerusalem the prophet turns now to address the mountains of the surrounding land of Israel, the sites of the high places with their idolatric worship. The Septuagint (LXX) is shorter than the Masoretic Text (MT). LXX lacks the conflations of MT and of its maximizing text into which vari- ants have been incorporated. On the other hand, the trimmer text of LXX sometimes suggests it has been contracted1. Whereas in MT verses 8-9 seem to ring a hopeful note, in LXX they further develop the threatening message of the forgoing verses. The Double Name Twice in a role in verse 3, and once in v. 11, the critical editions of LXX have single kúriov where MT reads the double Name evei inda. In earlier contributions we already dealt with this phenomenon2. Here it may suffice to briefly summarise the data, adding remarks on the treatment of the topic in some newer commen- taries, and on L.J. McGregor's evaluation of the Greek evidence. In MT the double Name evei inda occurs 301 times3. It is typical for the book of Ezekiel were it is attested 217 times. In these instances, the critical editions of the Hebrew text, BHK and BHS, characterise inîda∏ as a secondary intrusion, either by commanding the reader to delete (dl) it, or by saying that it is an addition (add). The basis for this correction is the Greek text, and the suggestion that inîda∏ was inserted into the text as a help for the reader, to remind him of the fact that the “tetragram” could not be pronounced and was to be replaced by Adonay.

  • Ezekiel Chapter 9
    Ezekiel Chapter 9 Ezekiel 9:1 "He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man [with] his destroying weapon in his hand." In the last lesson, God had gone into detail with Ezekiel, to make him fully understand why He judged Jerusalem and Judah. He gave over-abundant proof that they were guilty of the worst kind of sin. This cry is against Israel, and specifically, Judah and Jerusalem. A slaughter weapon suggests the massive destruction of human life that was impending. It appears, these that have charge over the city are superhuman beings under the direct orders of God. These angelic executioners came equipped with weapons of destruction (see Daniel 4:13, 17 and 23 for a comparison, a watcher, a holy one who did God’s bidding). These could be angels that God had stationed to protect His holy city. Now, they are set to destroy. These are similar to the angels in Revelation, which bring woe upon the sinful earth at the direction of God. Ezekiel 9:2 "And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them [was] clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar." There are many symbols in this verse. The number 6 is the number of man, or mankind. This judgment then is against man.

That would be 587-586 BC, just during and after the fall and destruction of Jerusalem (cf. 33:21). Ezekiel 1:1 poses a question: the “30th year” of what? It could be the 30th year of the Neo-Babylonian empire (about 596 BC, assuming its beginnings under Nabopolassar in 626 BC), the year after Jehoiachin was taken captive, two years before Ezekiel’s call related in chapter 1. Another possibility is that it is Ezekiel’s age at the time of his call (cf. Num. 4:3, and the lives of John the Baptist and of Jesus, Lk. 3:23). The old critical view of C.

  • A Commentary on the Book of Ezekiel by Pastor Galen L
    A Commentary on the Book of Ezekiel By Pastor Galen L. Doughty Southside Christian Church December 2014 INTRODUCTION: This commentary is based upon my personal devotional notes and reflections on the Book of Ezekiel. It is intended to help you better understand some of the background and issues in Ezekiel’s prophecy. It is not a technical commentary designed for academic projects. This material is intended for use by members and friends of Southside Christian Church, especially our Life Group leaders to help you lead your group in a verse by verse study of Ezekiel. However, I do not include discussion questions in the commentary. That I leave up to you as a group leader. In the commentary there are occasional references to the original Hebrew words Ezekiel used in a particular passage. Those Hebrew words are always quoted in italics and are transliterated into English from the Hebrew. I go chapter by chapter in the commentary and sometimes individual verses are commented upon, sometimes it is several sentences and sometimes a whole paragraph. This commentary is based on the New International Version and all Scripture quotations are taken from that version of the Bible. Books of the Bible, Scripture references and quotes are also italicized. KEY HISTORICAL DATES IN THE TIMELINE OF EZEKIEL: King Jehoiachim of Judah becomes a Babylonian vassal, 605. Jehoiachim rebels against Nebuchadnezzar; he sends troops to raid and punish Jehoiachim, 602. Nebuchadnezzar deports some Jews to Babylon from Jerusalem including a young man named Daniel, 602. Jehoiachim dies and is replaced by his son Jehoiachin; he reigns three months, 598.

    The Berean: Daily Verse and Commentary for Ezekiel 9:1-8 (http://www.theberean.org) Ezekiel 9:1-8 (1) Then I heard him call out in a loud voice, "Bring the guards of the city here, each with a weapon in his hand." (2) And I saw six men coming from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with a deadly weapon in his hand. With them was a man clothed in linen who had a writing kit at his side. They came in and stood beside the bronze altar. (3) Now the glory of the God of Israel went up from above the cherubim, where it had been, and moved to the threshold of the temple. Then the LORD called to the man clothed in linen who had the writing kit at his side (4) and said to him, "Go throughout the city of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who grieve and lament over all the detestable things that are done in it." (5) As I listened, he said to the others, "Follow him through the city and kill, without showing pity or compassion. (6) Slaughter old men, young men and maidens, women and children, but do not touch anyone who has the mark. Begin at my sanctuary." So they began with the elders who were in front of the temple. (7) Then he said to them, "Defile the temple and fill the courts with the slain. Go!" So they went out and began killing throughout the city. (8) While they were killing and I was left alone, I fell facedown, crying out, "Ah, Sovereign LORD! Are you going to destroy the entire remnant of Israel in this outpouring of your wrath on Jerusalem?"

    Naked Bible Podcast Episode 117: Ezekiel 8-9 Naked Bible Podcast Transcript Episode 117 Ezekiel 8-9 September 10, 2016 Teacher: Dr. Michael S. Heiser (MH) Host: Trey Stricklin (TS) Episode Summary Ezekiel 8 and 9 falls in the section of Ezekiel that concerns two themes: the punishment of Jerusalem and the departure of the glory of God. In Chapter 8 we’re introduced to some specific points of Israelite idolatry – worship of Asherah and worshipping the creator as though he were part of creation. Ezekiel 9 hearkens back to our earlier episode about God keeping a record of the faithful. The judgment vision also takes us back to similar events like the death angel at Passover. Transcript TS: Welcome to the Naked Bible Podcast, Episode 117—Ezekiel chapters 8 and 9. I’m the layman, Trey Stricklin, and he’s the scholar, Dr. Michael Heiser. Hey Mike, how’re you doing this week? MH: Very good, very good Trey, how are you? TS: I’m doing pretty good! Things are normal… things are normal. And we’re moving right along through Ezekiel.

Opening Prayer Pray Psalm 13 aloud. Intro to Discussion For the past three weeks, we have been reading the books of Jeremiah and Lamentations — two books addressing Israel in different phases of their Babylonian exile. Jeremiah and Lamentations deeply grieve the consequences of Israel’s covenant unfaithfulness, and at certain points, find hope in the promise of a day when God will once again rescue Israel out of exile. Ezekiel wrestles with similar questions and realities and does so primarily through vivid and strange visions. In order to equip the prophet for his prophetic task, “the hand of the Lord came on” Ezekiel to give him a (quite bizarre) visual conception of God’s glory and cherubim (see Genesis 3:24). He even gets a kind of visionary virtual tour of Jerusalem from his refugee home in Babylon. He describes a scene so awe-inspiring, so overwhelming, it is hard for him to put it into words. He sees a kind of moving vehicle (think chariot) made of heavenly creatures.
