The Divine Commentary on The Book of Ezekiel - Ch 11 (26.10.11)

Eze 11:1   Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the East Gate of the LORD's house, which faces eastward; and there at the door of the gate were twenty-five men, among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people. 

Divine Commentary –

“So My servants are transported within a vision which they may encounter:

                                                                                                                 as the set time so requires;

                                                                                                                 as the set season so discloses;

                                                                                                                 as the coming age so demands;

                                                                                                                 as the closing age so secures;

                                                                                                                 as the activities of My Spirit are so ascribed to the will of God.”

Eze 11:2   And He said to me: "Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity and give wicked counsel in this city, 

Eze 11:3   "who say, 'The time is not near to build houses; this city is the caldron, and we are the meat.' 

Eze 11:4   "Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man!" 

Eze 11:5   Then the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said to me, "Speak! 'Thus says the LORD: "Thus you have said, O house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind. 

Eze 11:6   "You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain." 

Eze 11:7   'Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Your slain whom you have laid in its midst, they are the meat, and this city is the caldron; but I shall bring you out of the midst of it. 

Eze 11:8   "You have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you," says the Lord GOD. 

Eze 11:9   "And I will bring you out of its midst, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and execute judgments on you. 

Eze 11:10   "You shall fall by the sword. I will judge you at the border of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the LORD. 

Eze 11:11   "This city shall not be your caldron, nor shall you be the meat in its midst. I will judge you at the border of Israel. 

Eze 11:12   "And you shall know that I am the LORD; for you have not walked in My statutes nor executed My judgments, but have done according to the customs of the Gentiles which are all around you." ' " 

Eze 11:13   Now it happened, while I was prophesying, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell on my face and cried with a loud voice, and said, "Ah, Lord GOD! Will You make a complete end of the remnant of Israel?" 

Eze 11:14   Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 

Eze 11:15   "Son of man, your brethren, your relatives, your countrymen, and all the house of Israel in its entirety, are those about whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, 'Get far away from the LORD; this land has been given to us as a possession.' 

Eze 11:16   "Therefore say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD: "Although I have cast them far off among the Gentiles, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet I shall be a little sanctuary for them in the countries where they have gone." ' 

Eze 11:17   "Therefore say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD: "I will gather you from the peoples, assemble you from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel." ' 

Eze 11:18   "And they will go there, and they will take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from there. 

Eze 11:19   "Then I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh, 

Eze 11:20   "that they may walk in My statutes and keep My judgments and do them; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God. 

Eze 11:21   "But as for those whose hearts follow the desire for their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their deeds on their own heads," says the Lord GOD. 

Eze 11:22   So the cherubim lifted up their wings, with the wheels beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel was high above them. 

Eze 11:23   And 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. 

Eze 11:24   Then the Spirit took me up and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to those in captivity. And the vision that I had seen went up from me. 

Eze 11:25   So I spoke to those in captivity of all the things the LORD had shown me.
