Ezekiel 9 - 12
Ezekiel 9
The Slaughter of the Wicked
1 (Isa 6:8) He cried out also in my ears with a loud voice, saying,
"Cause those who have charge over the city to draw near, even every man
with his destroying weapon in his hand."
2 (Lev 16:4; Eze 10:2) Six men came from the way of the higher gate
which lies toward the north, each with his battle weapon in his hand.
And one man among them was clothed with linen with a writer's case
by his side. And they went in and stood beside the bronze altar.
3 (Eze 10:4; 11:22-23) Then the glory of the God of Israel ascended
from the cherub on which it had been, to the threshold of the temple.
And He called to the man clothed with linen who had the writer's case
by his side.
4 (Ex 12:7; Ps 119:53) 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 who sigh and groan
for all the abominations that are done in its midst."
5 (Eze 5:11) To the others He said in my hearing, "Go after him
through the city and strike. Do not let your eye spare or have pity.
6 (2Ch 36:17; Jer 25:29) Utterly slay old and young, both maidens
and little children, and women. But do not touch any man on whom is the mark.
And begin at My sanctuary." Then they began with the elders
who were before the temple.
7 (2Ch 36:17; Eze 7:20-22) Then he said to them, "Defile the temple,
and fill the courts with the slain. Go forth!" So they went out
and killed in the city.
8 (Eze 11:13; Nu 14:5; Jos 7:6) While they were killing, I was left alone;
and I fell on my face and cried out,
"Ah, Lord God! Will You destroy all the rest of Israel by Your pouring
out of Your fury upon Jerusalem?"
9 (Eze 8:12; Job 22:13) Then He said to me, "The iniquity of the house
of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood,
and the city is full of perverseness. For they say,
'The Lord has forsaken the land, and the Lord does not see.'
10 (Eze 7:4; Isa 65:6) But as for Me, My eye shall not spare, nor will
I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their heads."
11 Then the man clothed with linen who had the case by his side
reported the matter, saying, "I have done just as You have commanded me."
Ezekiel 10
The Glory of God Leaves the Temple
1 (Ex 24:10; Rev 4:2-3) Then I looked, and in the expanse
that was above the heads of the cherubim there appeared over them,
as it were, a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
2 (Rev 8:5; Eze 1:13) And He spoke to the man clothed with linen and said,
"Go in between the wheels under the cherubim and fill your hands with coals
of fire from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city."
And he entered in my sight.
3 Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the temple when the man went in,
and the cloud filled the inner court.
4 (Eze 1:28; 9:3) Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub
and stood over the threshold of the temple. And the house was filled
with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the glory of the Lord.
5 (Eze 1:24; Job 40:9) The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even
in the outer court, like the voice of the Almighty God when He speaks.
6 (Eze 10:2) When He had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying,
"Take fire from between the wheels, from among the cherubim," he went in
and stood beside the wheel.
7 One cherub stretched out his hand from among the cherubim to the fire
that was between the cherubs, and took some, and put it into the hands
of him who was clothed with linen, who took it and went out.
8 (Eze 1:8; 10:21) There appeared among the cherubim the form of a man's
hand under their wings.
9 (Da 10:6; Rev 21:20) Then I looked, and there were the four wheels
by the cherubim, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub.
And the appearance of the wheels was as the color of a beryl stone.
10 As for their appearances, all four had one likeness, as if one wheel
had been in the middle of a wheel.
11 (Eze 1:17; 10:22) When they went, they went on their four sides.
They did not turn as they went, but they followed to the place
wherever the head looked. They did not turn as they went.
12 (Eze 1:18; Rev 4:6) Their whole body, and their backs, and their hands,
and their wings, and the wheels that the four had were full of eyes all round.
13 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing the whirling wheels.
14 (1Ki 7:36; Rev 4:7) Each one had four faces. The first face was the face
of a cherub, the second face was the face of a man,
the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
15 (Eze 1:5) Then the cherubim rose up. They are the living creatures
that I saw by the River Kebar.
16 When the cherubim went, the wheels went by them. And when the cherubim
lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels
also would not turn from beside them.
17 (Eze 1:20-21) When the cherubim stood, the wheels stood.
And when they rose up, the wheels also rose up with them.
For the spirit of the living creatures was in them.
18 (Ps 18:10) Then the glory of the Lord departed from off the threshold
of the temple and stood over the cherubim.
19 The cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth
in my sight. When they went out, the wheels were beside them.
They stood at the door of the east gate of the house of the Lord;
and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
20 (Eze 1:1; 10:15) These are the living creatures that I saw under the God
of Israel by the River Kebar. So I knew that they were cherubim.
21 (Eze 1:6; 10:14) Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings.
And the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
22 (Eze 1:10; 10:11) The likeness of their faces was the same faces
which I saw by the River Kebar, their appearances and themselves.
Each went straight forward.
Ezekiel 11
God's Judgment on Wicked Counselors
1 (Eze 3:12; 8:16) Moreover the Spirit lifted me up and brought me
to the east gate of the house of the Lord which faces eastward.
And at the door of the gate were 25 men, among whom I saw Jaazaniah
the son of Azzur and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, officials of the people.
2 (Ps 2:1-2; 52:2) Then He said to me, "Son of man, these are the men
who devise mischief and give wicked counsel in this city,
3 (Eze 12:22; 12:27) who say, 'The time is not near to build houses.
This city is the cauldron, and we are the flesh.'
4 Therefore prophesy against them; prophesy, son of man!"
5 (Jer 17:10; Eze 2:2) Then the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me,
and He said to me, Say, Thus says the Lord: Thus you have said,
O house of Israel, for I know the things that come into your mind,
every one of them.
6 (Eze 7:23; Isa 1:15) You have multiplied your slain in this city,
and you have filled the streets with them.
7 (Eze 24:3-13; Mic 3:2-3) Therefore thus says the Lord God:
Your slain whom you have laid in the midst of it,
they are the flesh and this city is the cauldron. But I will bring you
out of the midst of it.
8 (Pr 10:24; Job 3:25) You have feared the sword, so I will bring
a sword upon you, says the Lord God.
9 (Eze 5:8; Dt 28:36) I will bring you out of the midst of the city
and deliver you into the hands of strangers and execute judgments
against you.
10 (2Ki 14:25; 25:19-21) You shall fall by the sword. I will judge you
in the border of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.
11 (Eze 11:3) This city shall not be your cauldron, nor shall you be
the flesh in the midst of it, but I will judge you in the border
of Israel.
12 (Eze 8:10; 8:14) Thus you shall know that I am the Lord.
For you have not walked in My statutes, or executed My judgments,
but have done after the customs of the nations all around you.
13 (Eze 9:8; 11:1) Now while I was prophesying, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah
died. Then fell I down upon my face and cried out with a loud voice and said,
"Ah, Lord God! Will You make a full end of the remnant of Israel?"
The Exiles’ Return Promised
14 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
15 (Eze 33:24) Son of man, your brothers, your kindred, your fellow captives,
and all the house of Israel, all of them, are they to whom the inhabitants
of Jerusalem have said, "Go far from the Lord. This land has been given
to us as a possession."
16 (Isa 8:14; Ps 90:1) Therefore say, Thus says the Lord God:
Although I have cast them far off among the nations, and although
I have scattered them among the countries, yet I will be a sanctuary
to them for a little while in the countries where they have gone.
17 (Eze 28:25; Jer 3:18) Therefore say, Thus says the Lord God:
I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you out of the countries
where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
18 (Eze 5:11; 37:23) When they come there, they shall take away
all the detestable things and all the abominations from it.
19 (Eze 18:31; Zec 7:12) I will give them one heart, and I will put
a new spirit within them. And I will take the stony heart out of their flesh,
and give them a heart of flesh,
20 (Ps 105:45; Eze 14:11) that they may walk in My statutes,
and keep My ordinances, and do them. And they shall be My people,
and I will be their God.
21 (Eze 9:10; 11:18) But as for those whose hearts walk after the hearts
of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense
their way upon their own heads, says the Lord God.
22 (Eze 10:19) Then the cherubim lifted up their wings with the wheels
beside them. And the glory of the God of Israel was over them.
23 (Zec 14:4; Eze 8:4) The glory of the Lord went up from the midst
of the city and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
24 (Eze 8:3; 11:1) Afterwards the Spirit took me up
and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea
to those of the captivity.
So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
25 (Eze 3:4; 2:7) Then I spoke to those of the captivity all the things
that the Lord had shown me.
Ezekiel 12
Judah's Captivity Symbolized
1 The word of the Lord also came to me, saying:
2 (Ps 78:40; Isa 1:23) Son of man, you dwell in the midst
of a rebellious house, which has eyes to see but does not see,
and ears to hear but does not hear. For they are a rebellious house.
3 (Jer 36:3; 26:3) Therefore, son of man, prepare baggage for captivity
and go into captivity by day in their sight. And you shall go into captivity
from your place to another place in their sight. It may be that they
understand, though they are a rebellious house.
4 (Jer 39:4; 2Ki 25:4) You shall bring out your belongings by day in their
sight, as baggage for exile; and you shall go out at evening in their sight,
as those who go into exile.
5 Dig a hole through the wall in their sight,and go out thereby.
6 (Eze 4:3; Isa 8:18) In their sight you shall bear it on your shoulders
and carry it out in the twilight. You shall cover your face so that you
cannot see the land. For I have set you as a sign to the house of Israel.
7 (Eze 24:18; 37:7) I did so as I was commanded. I brought out my baggage
by day as baggage for captivity, and in the evening I dug through the wall
with my own hands. I brought it out at twilight,
carrying it on my shoulder in their sight.
8 In the morning the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
9 (Eze 17:12; 24:19) Son of man, has not the house of Israel,
the rebellious house, said to you, "What are you doing?"
10 (2Ki 9:25; Isa 13:1) Say to them, "Thus says the Lord God:
This oracle concerns the prince in Jerusalem
and all the house of Israel who are in it."
11 (Jer 15:2; 52:15) Say, "I am your sign.
"As I have done, so it shall be done to them. They shall go into exile,
into captivity."
12 (2Ki 25:4; Jer 39:4) The prince who is among them shall bear his baggage
on his shoulder in the twilight and go out. They shall dig through the wall
to carry it out thereby. He shall cover his face so that he cannot see
the land with his eyes.
13 (Eze 17:20; Hos 7:12) My net also I will spread upon him, and he shall be
taken in My snare. And I will bring him to Babylon to the land
of the Chaldeans. Yet he shall not see it, though he shall die there.
14 (Eze 5:2; 2Ki 25:4-5) I will scatter toward every wind all who are about
him, his helpers and all his troops. And I will draw out the sword after them.
15 (Eze 6:7; 6:14) Then they shall know that I am the Lord when I scatter them among the nations and disperse them among the countries.
16Jer 22:8–9; Eze 14:22–23But I will spare a few men of them from the sword, from famine, and from pestilence, so that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they go and know that I am the Lord.
17 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
18 Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water
with trembling and with anxiety.
19 (Zec 7:14; Eze 6:6-7) And say to the people of the land,
Thus says the Lord God concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the land
of Israel: They shall eat their bread with carefulness
and drink their water with astonishment, because their land shall be
desolate from all that is in it, because of the violence of all those
who dwell in it.
20 (Isa 7:23-24; Jer 4:7) The cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste,
and the land shall be desolate. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.
21 The word of the Lord came to me, saying:
22 (Eze 11:3; 12:27) Son of man, what is this proverb that you people
have in the land of Israel, saying,
"The days are prolonged, and every vision fails"?
23 (Joel 2:1; Zep 1:14) Tell them therefore, "Thus says the Lord God:
I will make this proverb cease so that they shall no more use it
as a proverb in Israel." But say to them, The days are at hand
and the effect of every vision.
24 (Eze 13:23; Zec 13:2-4) For there shall be no more any vain vision
or flattering divination within the house of Israel.
25 (Isa 14:24; Hab 1:5) For I the Lord will speak, and the word
that I speak shall come to pass. It shall be no more prolonged.
For in your days, O rebellious house, I will say the word,
and will perform it, says the Lord God.
26 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
27 (Da 10:14; Eze 12:22) Son of man, look, the house of Israel says,
"The vision that he sees is for many days to come,
and he prophesies of the times that are far off."
28 Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord God: There shall none
of My words be prolonged anymore, but the word which I have spoken
shall be done, says the Lord God.

Entitled A Great Ending
Revelation 22:12-21
12 (Isa 40:10; Rev 22:7) "Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with Me
to give to each one according to his work.
13 (Rev 1:8; 21:6; 1:17) I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning
and the End, the First and the Last."
14 (Rev 21:27; 22:2) Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they
may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates
into the city.
15 (Rev 21:8; Gal 5:19-21; Php 3:2) Outside are dogs and sorcerers
and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters and everyone
who loves and practices a lie.
16 (Rev 1:1; 5:5; Mt 2:2) "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to you with
this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David,
the Bright and Morning Star."
17 (Rev 21:6; Isa 2:5) The Spirit and the bride say, "Come." Let him
who hears say, "Come." Let him who is thirsty come.
Let him who desires take the water of life freely.
18 (Dt 4:2; Pr 30:6) I testify to everyone who hears the words
of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things,
God shall add to him the plagues that are written in this book.
19 (Rev 22:2; 13:8) And if anyone takes away from the words
of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part
out of the Book of Life and out of the Holy City
and out of the things which are written in this book.
20 (Rev 22:7; 1Co 16:22) He who testifies to these things says,
"Surely I am coming soon."
Amen. Even so, come Lord Jesus!
21 (Ro 16:20) The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
My husband and son surfed television channels looking for a movie to watch
and discovered that their favorite movies were already in progress.
As they enjoyed watching the final scenes, the search became a game.
They managed to find eight of their favorite flicks. Frustrated,
I asked why they wouldn't just choose a movie to watch from the beginning.
My husband laughed. "Who doesn’t love a great ending?"
I had to admit I too look forward to the endings of my favorite books
or movies. I've even skimmed through my Bible and focused on my favorite parts
or the stories that seem more palatable and easier to understand.
But the Holy Spirit uses all of God's reliable and life-applicable words
to transform us and affirm that His story will end well for believers in Jesus.
Christ declares Himself to be "the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,
the Beginning and the End" (Revelation 22:13). He proclaims that His people
will inherit eternal life (v. 14) and warns those who dare to add
or subtract from "the words of the prophecy of this scroll" (vv. 18-19).
We may not know or understand everything in the Bible,
but we do know Jesus is coming again. He'll keep His word. He'll demolish
sin, right every wrong, make all things new, and reign as our loving King
forever. Now, that’s a great ending that leads to our new beginning!
By: Xochitl Dixon
Reflect & Pray
How does the certainty of knowing Jesus is coming again help you live for Him
today? What excites you the most about Christ’s promised return?
Come, Lord Jesus! Come!
3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation
Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools
Week 5 Rejoice in Grace – Day 7 Break up Your Fallow Ground
Hosea 10:12
12 Sow to yourselves righteousness, reap mercy,
break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek the Lord,
until He comes and rains righteousness upon you.
When a farmer prepares to plant his crop, a great deal od preparation
is necessary before the seen can be sown. He has to plow up the ground,
turning under the stubble from the previous harvest, harrow the field to
break up the clods, and fertilise- readying the soil for optimum growht.
A fallow field, one that was not planted the previous season, must be
broken and worked so that the seed can find root in the ground.
The Bible likens spiritual growth to raising crops. God is the one
who brings rain and gives growth, but the success or failure
of the seed - both in initial salvation and in ongoing maturity -
is often linked to how well the soil has been prepared.
That preparation isn't always a pleasant or rewarding process.
We may resist the plowing or harrowing that comes through
the Holy Spirit's convictoin of sin. We may need to dig up boulders
of bitterness and thistles of anger; we may have to plow under the
stubble of the last crop of lessons, working that mulch deep into our lives.
But the final outcome is worth the effort - even the pain - that
preparation brings. Broken up, harrowed, readied for the seed of God's Word,
we are rich and fertile ground, and the seed of righteousness produces
an abundant crop in us.
Application
a) In what ways have I been "broken up" and "harrowed" by the Holy
Spirit to prepare me for God's work in me?
b) How can I apply these verses to myself? How can I
"sow in righteousness," "reap in mercy,"
"break up my fallow ground"?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Mark 4:19
19 But the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches,
and the desires for other things entering in choke the word,
and it proves unfruitful.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
When you are Burdened by Doubt
James 1:2 to 8
Faith and Wisdom
2 My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into diverse temptations,
3 knowing that the trying of your faith develops patience.
4 But let patience perfect its work, that you may be perfect and complete,
lacking nothing.
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men
liberally and without criticism, and it will be given to him.
6 But let him ask in faith, without wavering. For he who wavers
is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed with the wind.
7 Let not that man think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
8 A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Remember God's promises when You pray
The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
New Brunswick
Total population 753900
Muslim population (est.) 4543
Moncton, followed by Fredericton and Saint John, each have a growing Muslim
population in New Brunswick, In 2007, the buliding that was formerly a Baptist
chruch was converted into Moncton's 1st mosque. The University of Moncton
also has a Muslim studentt association hosting prayer services, fellowship
getherings, and outreaches on campus.
Fredericton also has one mosque and a Muslim student assoication serving the
campusus of the University of New Brunswick and St. Thomas University.
Fredericton's MUslim population consists in 2014 of about 50 families,
and between 300 to 400 university students.
Saint John is home to the 1st Muslim Association for the province,
which also helped foster the Islamic asociations of Fredericton and Moncton.
a 'musalla', or prayer location that is not officially structured as a mosque,
has been established in the Uptown area with the intention of seeing it grow
into a 2nd official place of Muslim worship. Demand for this new location has
been primarily for university students moving into the area.
Pray for Muslims and New Brunswick
- that the eyes of pastors, believers and entire congregations will be opened
to see this growing body of Muslims, and their hearts will be opened
to sharing God's love in JEsus Christ with them
- that intentional ministries to Muslims will grow and flourish in these
areas of concentration
- that cooperative CNNMM Networks will form to really, encourage,
and equip believers to lovingly reach Muslims in this province.
Adding further
30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,
"What does this mean?"
13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."
Peter's Speech at Pentecost
14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice
and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,
let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,
since it is the third hour of the day.
16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,
'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams.'
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, atheists, secular humanists, ...) .

Ezekiel 9
The Slaughter of the Wicked
1 (Isa 6:8) He cried out also in my ears with a loud voice, saying,
"Cause those who have charge over the city to draw near, even every man
with his destroying weapon in his hand."
2 (Lev 16:4; Eze 10:2) Six men came from the way of the higher gate
which lies toward the north, each with his battle weapon in his hand.
And one man among them was clothed with linen with a writer's case
by his side. And they went in and stood beside the bronze altar.
3 (Eze 10:4; 11:22-23) Then the glory of the God of Israel ascended
from the cherub on which it had been, to the threshold of the temple.
And He called to the man clothed with linen who had the writer's case
by his side.
4 (Ex 12:7; Ps 119:53) 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 who sigh and groan
for all the abominations that are done in its midst."
5 (Eze 5:11) To the others He said in my hearing, "Go after him
through the city and strike. Do not let your eye spare or have pity.
6 (2Ch 36:17; Jer 25:29) Utterly slay old and young, both maidens
and little children, and women. But do not touch any man on whom is the mark.
And begin at My sanctuary." Then they began with the elders
who were before the temple.
7 (2Ch 36:17; Eze 7:20-22) Then he said to them, "Defile the temple,
and fill the courts with the slain. Go forth!" So they went out
and killed in the city.
8 (Eze 11:13; Nu 14:5; Jos 7:6) While they were killing, I was left alone;
and I fell on my face and cried out,
"Ah, Lord God! Will You destroy all the rest of Israel by Your pouring
out of Your fury upon Jerusalem?"
9 (Eze 8:12; Job 22:13) Then He said to me, "The iniquity of the house
of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood,
and the city is full of perverseness. For they say,
'The Lord has forsaken the land, and the Lord does not see.'
10 (Eze 7:4; Isa 65:6) But as for Me, My eye shall not spare, nor will
I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their heads."
11 Then the man clothed with linen who had the case by his side
reported the matter, saying, "I have done just as You have commanded me."
Ezekiel 10
The Glory of God Leaves the Temple
1 (Ex 24:10; Rev 4:2-3) Then I looked, and in the expanse
that was above the heads of the cherubim there appeared over them,
as it were, a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
2 (Rev 8:5; Eze 1:13) And He spoke to the man clothed with linen and said,
"Go in between the wheels under the cherubim and fill your hands with coals
of fire from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city."
And he entered in my sight.
3 Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the temple when the man went in,
and the cloud filled the inner court.
4 (Eze 1:28; 9:3) Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub
and stood over the threshold of the temple. And the house was filled
with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the glory of the Lord.
5 (Eze 1:24; Job 40:9) The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even
in the outer court, like the voice of the Almighty God when He speaks.
6 (Eze 10:2) When He had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying,
"Take fire from between the wheels, from among the cherubim," he went in
and stood beside the wheel.
7 One cherub stretched out his hand from among the cherubim to the fire
that was between the cherubs, and took some, and put it into the hands
of him who was clothed with linen, who took it and went out.
8 (Eze 1:8; 10:21) There appeared among the cherubim the form of a man's
hand under their wings.
9 (Da 10:6; Rev 21:20) Then I looked, and there were the four wheels
by the cherubim, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub.
And the appearance of the wheels was as the color of a beryl stone.
10 As for their appearances, all four had one likeness, as if one wheel
had been in the middle of a wheel.
11 (Eze 1:17; 10:22) When they went, they went on their four sides.
They did not turn as they went, but they followed to the place
wherever the head looked. They did not turn as they went.
12 (Eze 1:18; Rev 4:6) Their whole body, and their backs, and their hands,
and their wings, and the wheels that the four had were full of eyes all round.
13 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing the whirling wheels.
14 (1Ki 7:36; Rev 4:7) Each one had four faces. The first face was the face
of a cherub, the second face was the face of a man,
the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
15 (Eze 1:5) Then the cherubim rose up. They are the living creatures
that I saw by the River Kebar.
16 When the cherubim went, the wheels went by them. And when the cherubim
lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels
also would not turn from beside them.
17 (Eze 1:20-21) When the cherubim stood, the wheels stood.
And when they rose up, the wheels also rose up with them.
For the spirit of the living creatures was in them.
18 (Ps 18:10) Then the glory of the Lord departed from off the threshold
of the temple and stood over the cherubim.
19 The cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth
in my sight. When they went out, the wheels were beside them.
They stood at the door of the east gate of the house of the Lord;
and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
20 (Eze 1:1; 10:15) These are the living creatures that I saw under the God
of Israel by the River Kebar. So I knew that they were cherubim.
21 (Eze 1:6; 10:14) Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings.
And the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
22 (Eze 1:10; 10:11) The likeness of their faces was the same faces
which I saw by the River Kebar, their appearances and themselves.
Each went straight forward.
Ezekiel 11
God's Judgment on Wicked Counselors
1 (Eze 3:12; 8:16) Moreover the Spirit lifted me up and brought me
to the east gate of the house of the Lord which faces eastward.
And at the door of the gate were 25 men, among whom I saw Jaazaniah
the son of Azzur and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, officials of the people.
2 (Ps 2:1-2; 52:2) Then He said to me, "Son of man, these are the men
who devise mischief and give wicked counsel in this city,
3 (Eze 12:22; 12:27) who say, 'The time is not near to build houses.
This city is the cauldron, and we are the flesh.'
4 Therefore prophesy against them; prophesy, son of man!"
5 (Jer 17:10; Eze 2:2) Then the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me,
and He said to me, Say, Thus says the Lord: Thus you have said,
O house of Israel, for I know the things that come into your mind,
every one of them.
6 (Eze 7:23; Isa 1:15) You have multiplied your slain in this city,
and you have filled the streets with them.
7 (Eze 24:3-13; Mic 3:2-3) Therefore thus says the Lord God:
Your slain whom you have laid in the midst of it,
they are the flesh and this city is the cauldron. But I will bring you
out of the midst of it.
8 (Pr 10:24; Job 3:25) You have feared the sword, so I will bring
a sword upon you, says the Lord God.
9 (Eze 5:8; Dt 28:36) I will bring you out of the midst of the city
and deliver you into the hands of strangers and execute judgments
against you.
10 (2Ki 14:25; 25:19-21) You shall fall by the sword. I will judge you
in the border of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.
11 (Eze 11:3) This city shall not be your cauldron, nor shall you be
the flesh in the midst of it, but I will judge you in the border
of Israel.
12 (Eze 8:10; 8:14) Thus you shall know that I am the Lord.
For you have not walked in My statutes, or executed My judgments,
but have done after the customs of the nations all around you.
13 (Eze 9:8; 11:1) Now while I was prophesying, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah
died. Then fell I down upon my face and cried out with a loud voice and said,
"Ah, Lord God! Will You make a full end of the remnant of Israel?"
The Exiles’ Return Promised
14 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
15 (Eze 33:24) Son of man, your brothers, your kindred, your fellow captives,
and all the house of Israel, all of them, are they to whom the inhabitants
of Jerusalem have said, "Go far from the Lord. This land has been given
to us as a possession."
16 (Isa 8:14; Ps 90:1) Therefore say, Thus says the Lord God:
Although I have cast them far off among the nations, and although
I have scattered them among the countries, yet I will be a sanctuary
to them for a little while in the countries where they have gone.
17 (Eze 28:25; Jer 3:18) Therefore say, Thus says the Lord God:
I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you out of the countries
where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
18 (Eze 5:11; 37:23) When they come there, they shall take away
all the detestable things and all the abominations from it.
19 (Eze 18:31; Zec 7:12) I will give them one heart, and I will put
a new spirit within them. And I will take the stony heart out of their flesh,
and give them a heart of flesh,
20 (Ps 105:45; Eze 14:11) that they may walk in My statutes,
and keep My ordinances, and do them. And they shall be My people,
and I will be their God.
21 (Eze 9:10; 11:18) But as for those whose hearts walk after the hearts
of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense
their way upon their own heads, says the Lord God.
22 (Eze 10:19) Then the cherubim lifted up their wings with the wheels
beside them. And the glory of the God of Israel was over them.
23 (Zec 14:4; Eze 8:4) The glory of the Lord went up from the midst
of the city and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
24 (Eze 8:3; 11:1) Afterwards the Spirit took me up
and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea
to those of the captivity.
So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
25 (Eze 3:4; 2:7) Then I spoke to those of the captivity all the things
that the Lord had shown me.
Ezekiel 12
Judah's Captivity Symbolized
1 The word of the Lord also came to me, saying:
2 (Ps 78:40; Isa 1:23) Son of man, you dwell in the midst
of a rebellious house, which has eyes to see but does not see,
and ears to hear but does not hear. For they are a rebellious house.
3 (Jer 36:3; 26:3) Therefore, son of man, prepare baggage for captivity
and go into captivity by day in their sight. And you shall go into captivity
from your place to another place in their sight. It may be that they
understand, though they are a rebellious house.
4 (Jer 39:4; 2Ki 25:4) You shall bring out your belongings by day in their
sight, as baggage for exile; and you shall go out at evening in their sight,
as those who go into exile.
5 Dig a hole through the wall in their sight,and go out thereby.
6 (Eze 4:3; Isa 8:18) In their sight you shall bear it on your shoulders
and carry it out in the twilight. You shall cover your face so that you
cannot see the land. For I have set you as a sign to the house of Israel.
7 (Eze 24:18; 37:7) I did so as I was commanded. I brought out my baggage
by day as baggage for captivity, and in the evening I dug through the wall
with my own hands. I brought it out at twilight,
carrying it on my shoulder in their sight.
8 In the morning the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
9 (Eze 17:12; 24:19) Son of man, has not the house of Israel,
the rebellious house, said to you, "What are you doing?"
10 (2Ki 9:25; Isa 13:1) Say to them, "Thus says the Lord God:
This oracle concerns the prince in Jerusalem
and all the house of Israel who are in it."
11 (Jer 15:2; 52:15) Say, "I am your sign.
"As I have done, so it shall be done to them. They shall go into exile,
into captivity."
12 (2Ki 25:4; Jer 39:4) The prince who is among them shall bear his baggage
on his shoulder in the twilight and go out. They shall dig through the wall
to carry it out thereby. He shall cover his face so that he cannot see
the land with his eyes.
13 (Eze 17:20; Hos 7:12) My net also I will spread upon him, and he shall be
taken in My snare. And I will bring him to Babylon to the land
of the Chaldeans. Yet he shall not see it, though he shall die there.
14 (Eze 5:2; 2Ki 25:4-5) I will scatter toward every wind all who are about
him, his helpers and all his troops. And I will draw out the sword after them.
15 (Eze 6:7; 6:14) Then they shall know that I am the Lord when I scatter them among the nations and disperse them among the countries.
16Jer 22:8–9; Eze 14:22–23But I will spare a few men of them from the sword, from famine, and from pestilence, so that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they go and know that I am the Lord.
17 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
18 Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water
with trembling and with anxiety.
19 (Zec 7:14; Eze 6:6-7) And say to the people of the land,
Thus says the Lord God concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the land
of Israel: They shall eat their bread with carefulness
and drink their water with astonishment, because their land shall be
desolate from all that is in it, because of the violence of all those
who dwell in it.
20 (Isa 7:23-24; Jer 4:7) The cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste,
and the land shall be desolate. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.
21 The word of the Lord came to me, saying:
22 (Eze 11:3; 12:27) Son of man, what is this proverb that you people
have in the land of Israel, saying,
"The days are prolonged, and every vision fails"?
23 (Joel 2:1; Zep 1:14) Tell them therefore, "Thus says the Lord God:
I will make this proverb cease so that they shall no more use it
as a proverb in Israel." But say to them, The days are at hand
and the effect of every vision.
24 (Eze 13:23; Zec 13:2-4) For there shall be no more any vain vision
or flattering divination within the house of Israel.
25 (Isa 14:24; Hab 1:5) For I the Lord will speak, and the word
that I speak shall come to pass. It shall be no more prolonged.
For in your days, O rebellious house, I will say the word,
and will perform it, says the Lord God.
26 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
27 (Da 10:14; Eze 12:22) Son of man, look, the house of Israel says,
"The vision that he sees is for many days to come,
and he prophesies of the times that are far off."
28 Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord God: There shall none
of My words be prolonged anymore, but the word which I have spoken
shall be done, says the Lord God.

Entitled A Great Ending
Revelation 22:12-21
12 (Isa 40:10; Rev 22:7) "Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with Me
to give to each one according to his work.
13 (Rev 1:8; 21:6; 1:17) I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning
and the End, the First and the Last."
14 (Rev 21:27; 22:2) Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they
may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates
into the city.
15 (Rev 21:8; Gal 5:19-21; Php 3:2) Outside are dogs and sorcerers
and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters and everyone
who loves and practices a lie.
16 (Rev 1:1; 5:5; Mt 2:2) "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to you with
this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David,
the Bright and Morning Star."
17 (Rev 21:6; Isa 2:5) The Spirit and the bride say, "Come." Let him
who hears say, "Come." Let him who is thirsty come.
Let him who desires take the water of life freely.
18 (Dt 4:2; Pr 30:6) I testify to everyone who hears the words
of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things,
God shall add to him the plagues that are written in this book.
19 (Rev 22:2; 13:8) And if anyone takes away from the words
of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part
out of the Book of Life and out of the Holy City
and out of the things which are written in this book.
20 (Rev 22:7; 1Co 16:22) He who testifies to these things says,
"Surely I am coming soon."
Amen. Even so, come Lord Jesus!
21 (Ro 16:20) The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
My husband and son surfed television channels looking for a movie to watch
and discovered that their favorite movies were already in progress.
As they enjoyed watching the final scenes, the search became a game.
They managed to find eight of their favorite flicks. Frustrated,
I asked why they wouldn't just choose a movie to watch from the beginning.
My husband laughed. "Who doesn’t love a great ending?"
I had to admit I too look forward to the endings of my favorite books
or movies. I've even skimmed through my Bible and focused on my favorite parts
or the stories that seem more palatable and easier to understand.
But the Holy Spirit uses all of God's reliable and life-applicable words
to transform us and affirm that His story will end well for believers in Jesus.
Christ declares Himself to be "the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,
the Beginning and the End" (Revelation 22:13). He proclaims that His people
will inherit eternal life (v. 14) and warns those who dare to add
or subtract from "the words of the prophecy of this scroll" (vv. 18-19).
We may not know or understand everything in the Bible,
but we do know Jesus is coming again. He'll keep His word. He'll demolish
sin, right every wrong, make all things new, and reign as our loving King
forever. Now, that’s a great ending that leads to our new beginning!
By: Xochitl Dixon
Reflect & Pray
How does the certainty of knowing Jesus is coming again help you live for Him
today? What excites you the most about Christ’s promised return?
Come, Lord Jesus! Come!
3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation
Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools
Week 5 Rejoice in Grace – Day 7 Break up Your Fallow Ground
Hosea 10:12
12 Sow to yourselves righteousness, reap mercy,
break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek the Lord,
until He comes and rains righteousness upon you.
When a farmer prepares to plant his crop, a great deal od preparation
is necessary before the seen can be sown. He has to plow up the ground,
turning under the stubble from the previous harvest, harrow the field to
break up the clods, and fertilise- readying the soil for optimum growht.
A fallow field, one that was not planted the previous season, must be
broken and worked so that the seed can find root in the ground.
The Bible likens spiritual growth to raising crops. God is the one
who brings rain and gives growth, but the success or failure
of the seed - both in initial salvation and in ongoing maturity -
is often linked to how well the soil has been prepared.
That preparation isn't always a pleasant or rewarding process.
We may resist the plowing or harrowing that comes through
the Holy Spirit's convictoin of sin. We may need to dig up boulders
of bitterness and thistles of anger; we may have to plow under the
stubble of the last crop of lessons, working that mulch deep into our lives.
But the final outcome is worth the effort - even the pain - that
preparation brings. Broken up, harrowed, readied for the seed of God's Word,
we are rich and fertile ground, and the seed of righteousness produces
an abundant crop in us.
Application
a) In what ways have I been "broken up" and "harrowed" by the Holy
Spirit to prepare me for God's work in me?
b) How can I apply these verses to myself? How can I
"sow in righteousness," "reap in mercy,"
"break up my fallow ground"?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Mark 4:19
19 But the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches,
and the desires for other things entering in choke the word,
and it proves unfruitful.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
When you are Burdened by Doubt
James 1:2 to 8
Faith and Wisdom
2 My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into diverse temptations,
3 knowing that the trying of your faith develops patience.
4 But let patience perfect its work, that you may be perfect and complete,
lacking nothing.
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men
liberally and without criticism, and it will be given to him.
6 But let him ask in faith, without wavering. For he who wavers
is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed with the wind.
7 Let not that man think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
8 A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Remember God's promises when You pray
The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
New Brunswick
Total population 753900
Muslim population (est.) 4543
Moncton, followed by Fredericton and Saint John, each have a growing Muslim
population in New Brunswick, In 2007, the buliding that was formerly a Baptist
chruch was converted into Moncton's 1st mosque. The University of Moncton
also has a Muslim studentt association hosting prayer services, fellowship
getherings, and outreaches on campus.
Fredericton also has one mosque and a Muslim student assoication serving the
campusus of the University of New Brunswick and St. Thomas University.
Fredericton's MUslim population consists in 2014 of about 50 families,
and between 300 to 400 university students.
Saint John is home to the 1st Muslim Association for the province,
which also helped foster the Islamic asociations of Fredericton and Moncton.
a 'musalla', or prayer location that is not officially structured as a mosque,
has been established in the Uptown area with the intention of seeing it grow
into a 2nd official place of Muslim worship. Demand for this new location has
been primarily for university students moving into the area.
Pray for Muslims and New Brunswick
- that the eyes of pastors, believers and entire congregations will be opened
to see this growing body of Muslims, and their hearts will be opened
to sharing God's love in JEsus Christ with them
- that intentional ministries to Muslims will grow and flourish in these
areas of concentration
- that cooperative CNNMM Networks will form to really, encourage,
and equip believers to lovingly reach Muslims in this province.
Adding further
30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,
"What does this mean?"
13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."
Peter's Speech at Pentecost
14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice
and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,
let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,
since it is the third hour of the day.
16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,
'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams.'
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, atheists, secular humanists, ...) .
