EZEKIEL 9:8 And it came to pass, while they were slaying them and I was left, that I fell upon my face and cried, and said, Ah Lord God! Wilt Thou destroy all the residue of Israel in Thy pouring out of Thy fury upon Jerusalem? Ezekiel has been given a vision by God of the destruction and death of the people before the third deportation to Babylon. The only priest left falls on his face and cries and pleads to God for the people. Notice that true prophets of God never seek revenge for how they have been treated. They would like to see everyone saved. Something to think about. |
