EZEKIEL 7 REFUTES RELIGIOUS LIARS WHO SAY THAT GOD NEVER IS VIOLENT EVER!!
Ezekiel 7 is clear that God directly creates harm and deliberately does it.
The believers who say God is totally non-violent are lying. Even a man of peace
has to use violence at times so how could anybody be stupid enough to listen to
them? An attitude of, "I am too sweet to see or countenance violence", is
disgusting. It is not about you. And it is blind people like that who are
ultimately to blame when violence explodes for they stop you seeing the warning
signs.
1 The word of the Lord came to me:
2 “Son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says to the land of Israel: “‘The
end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land!
3 The end is now upon you, and I will unleash my anger against you. I will judge
you according to your conduct and repay you for all your detestable practices.
4 I will not look on you with pity; I will not spare you. I will surely repay
you for your conduct and for the detestable practices among you. “‘Then you will
know that I am the Lord.’
5 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “‘Disaster! Unheard-of disaster! See,
it comes!
6 The end has come! The end has come! It has roused itself against you. See, it
comes!
7 Doom has come upon you, upon you who dwell in the land. The time has come! The
day is near! There is panic, not joy, on the mountains.
8 I am about to pour out my wrath on you and spend my anger against you. I will
judge you according to your conduct and repay you for all your detestable
practices.
9 I will not look on you with pity; I will not spare you. I will repay you for
your conduct and for the detestable practices among you. “‘Then you will know
that it is I the Lord who strikes you.
10 “‘See, the day! See, it comes! Doom has burst forth, the rod has budded,
arrogance has blossomed!
11 Violence has arisen, a rod to punish the wicked. None of the people will be
left, none of that crowd— none of their wealth, nothing of value.
12 The time has come! The day has arrived! Let not the buyer rejoice nor the
seller grieve, for my wrath is on the whole crowd.
13 The seller will not recover the property that was sold— as long as both buyer
and seller live. For the vision concerning the whole crowd will not be reversed.
Because of their sins, not one of them will preserve their life.
14 “‘They have blown the trumpet, they have made all things ready, but no one
will go into battle, for my wrath is on the whole crowd.
15 Outside is the sword; inside are plague and famine. Those in the country will
die by the sword; those in the city will be devoured by famine and plague.
16 The fugitives who escape will flee to the mountains. Like doves of the
valleys, they will all moan, each for their own sins.
17 Every hand will go limp; every leg will be wet with urine.
18 They will put on sackcloth and be clothed with terror. Every face will be
covered with shame, and every head will be shaved.
19 “‘They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be
treated as a thing unclean. Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver
them in the day of the Lord’s wrath. It will not satisfy their hunger or fill
their stomachs, for it has caused them to stumble into sin.
20 They took pride in their beautiful jewelry and used it to make their
detestable idols. They made it into vile images; therefore I will make it a
thing unclean for them.
21 I will give their wealth as plunder to foreigners and as loot to the wicked
of the earth, who will defile it.
22 I will turn my face away from the people, and robbers will desecrate the
place I treasure. They will enter it and will defile it.
23 “‘Prepare chains! For the land is full of bloodshed, and the city is full of
violence.
24 I will bring the most wicked of nations to take possession of their houses. I
will put an end to the pride of the mighty, and their sanctuaries will be
desecrated.
25 When terror comes, they will seek peace in vain.
26 Calamity upon calamity will come, and rumor upon rumor. They will go
searching for a vision from the prophet, priestly instruction in the law will
cease, the counsel of the elders will come to an end.
27 The king will mourn, the prince will be clothed with despair and the hands of
the people of the land will tremble. I will deal with them according to their
conduct, and by their own standards I will judge them. “‘Then they will know
that I am the Lord.’”
