Sorry, there is not enough room to post all of Ezekiel, but I will do as much as I can. The Philokalia When we fulfil the commandments in our outward actions, we receive from the Lord what is appropriate; but any real benefit we gain depends on our inward intention. If we want to do something but cannot, then before God, who knows our hearts, it is as if we have done it. This is true whether the intended action is good or bad. The intellect does many good and bad things without the body, whereas the body can do neither good nor evil without the intellect. This is because the law of freedom applies to what happens before we act. Some without fulfilling the commandments think that they possess true faith. Others fulfil the commandments and then expect the kingdom as a reward due to them. Both are mistaken. A master is under no obligation to reward his slaves; on the other hand, those who do not serve him well are not given their If 'Christ died on our account in accordance with the Scriptures' (Rom. 5:8; 1 Cor. 15:3), and we do not live for ourselves', but "for Him who died and rose' on our account (2 Cor. (: 1g), it is clear that we are debtors to Christ to serve Him till our death. How then can we regard sonship as something which is Christ is Master by virtue of His own essence and Master by virtue of His incarnate life. For He creates man from nothing, and through His own Blood redeems him when dead in sin; and to those who believe in Him He has given His grace. When Scripture says 'He will reward every man according to his works' (Matt. 16: 27), do not imagine that works in them-alves merit either hell or the kingdom. On the contrary. Christ rewards each man according to whether his works are done with faith or without faith in Himself; and He is not a dealer bound by contract, but God our Creator and Redeemer. We who have received baptism offer good works, not by way of repayment, but to preserve the purity given to us. Every good work which we perform through our own natural powers causes us to refrain from the corresponding sin; but without grace it cannot contribute to our sanctification.Ezekiel Ch 161 The word of the LORD came to me: Son of man, 2 what is the meaning of this proverb you recite in the land of Israel: “Parents eat sour grapes, but the children's teeth are set on edge”? 3 As I live—oracle of the Lord GOD: I swear that none of you will ever repeat this proverb in Israel. 4 For all life is mine: the life of the parent is like the life of the child, both are mine. Only the one who sins shall die! 5 If a man is just—if he does what is right, 6 if he does not eat on the mountains, or raise his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel; if he does not defile a neighbor's wife, or have relations with a woman during her period; 7 if he oppresses no one, gives back the pledge received for a debt, commits no robbery; gives food to the hungry and clothes the naked; 8 if he does not lend at interest or exact usury; if he refrains from evildoing and makes a fair judgment between two opponents; 9 if he walks by my statutes and is careful to observe my ordinances, that man is just—he shall surely live—oracle of the Lord GOD. 10 But if he begets a son who is violent and commits murder, or does any of these things, 11 even though the father does none of them—a son who eats on the mountains, defiles the wife of his neighbor, 12 oppresses the poor and needy, commits robbery, does not give back a pledge, raises his eyes to idols, does abominable things, 13 lends at interest and exacts usury—this son certainly shall not live. Because he practiced all these abominations, he shall surely be put to death; his owSend us a textSupport the show

Our world is full of distractions – far more than in any previous age. Paul in today's chapters in Ephesians [5 v.16] wrote the above words and they apply so much to the way we live our lives right now.   He also wrote, “sexual immorality and all impurity … must not even be named among you … let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk, nor crude joking …” [v.3,4]  The kind of life in Ephesus must have been a lot like today – but at least they did not have the internet, TV, radio and magazines with so much of their content enticing their minds with every kind of impurity. How can a true Bible believer have anything to do with so many of the attitudes and fleshly values which surround us and are so blatantly portrayed as entertainment!! Now note what Paul then writes, “Instead, let there be thanksgiving”   We must realize the point of that comment.  Are we thankful that we can see the true meaning and purpose of life? We should be!  Those who are living for the experiences they can have each day, have their minds fed by the instincts of the flesh instead of the word of God. They have no thought at all that awesome judgements from God are hanging over the world of today. This leads us to think of our readings today in Ezekiel (Ch.33) and the blindness of the people in Jerusalem as to their impending fate and the prophet's role and responsibility as a watchman.  We have the same responsibility.  God tells the prophet, “I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked.”   His message was to be, “turn back from your evil ways, for why will you die, O house of Israel?” [v.11] Our message is the same, it may fall on deaf ears but we have a responsibility to try. Lot, living in Sodom, obviously tried, otherwise Abraham would not have thought there could be “fifty righteous within the city” [Gen 18 v.24]  Peter comments on how God rescued “righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensual conduct” around him” [2 Peter 2 v.12]   Do you feel distressed?  Are you making “the best use of the time”?  Is it your time?  No – it is God's time!  Let us spend it in the wisest way.

The teachers examine the final chapters of the Book of the prophet Ezekiel, completing chapter 47 and continuing into 48.

The teachers examine the final chapters of the Book of the prophet Ezekiel, completing chapter 46 and continuing into 47.

The teachers complete the study of Ezekiel chapter 44 and continue into chapter 45. Some of the strictures on the cohenim, or priests, in this section we saw in the Torah. But the emphasis on "teach My people" the difference, between the holy and unholy, clean and profane, is key. And certainly explains a lot.

The teachers examine Ezekiel chapter 43 and into 44.

The teachers complete the discussion of Ezekiel chapter 42 and the prophesied temple, and continue into chapter 43. Where there is a warning which must not be overlooked.

This week, the Torah teachers examine Ezekiel chapter 42.

This week the teachers complete the look at the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel, chapter 40, and continue into chapter 41.

This week the Torah teachers, and the prophet Ezekiel, 'change gears' as the study continues into chapter 40, and the description of a temple, certainly evidently, 'yet to come'.

The prophet Ezekiel's vision of the 'two sticks', one for the Judah and his companions, the other for Ephraim and his companions, which become echad in His hand, is arguably among the most important in the Bible. And certainly NOT yet fulfilled. This week the teachers go into the details of that one, and the related references, and continue into chapter 38, which is yet another not-yet-fulfilled prophecy that may be near at hand.

The wrap-up of Ezekiel chapter 36 includes some other references to the 'greater exodus' arguably still yet-to-come, and sets up one of the most well-known prophecies from Ezekiel.

This week the teachers explore Ezekiel chapter 36.

The teachers complete the study of Ezekiel, chapter 34, including a look at what might be called the "Greater Exodus," still yet to come.

The teachers explore the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel, into chapter 33, and what is probably one of the most clear metaphors - to us, hopefully - in Scripture: the 'Watchman on the Wall.'

The teacher complete Ezekiel chapter 31 and continue into chapter 32.

The teachers discuss Ezekiel chapters 29 into 30. ...and among other things, a reference by the prophet to "the day of the LORD." Which, of course, isn't what it really says at all.

The Torah teachers look at the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel, and continue the study from chapter 25 into 26. Where the judgments against places and peoples like Ammon, Edom, and Tyre - and the reasons WHY - should all send a shiver down the spine of those who consider abortion, genocide, and otherwise just rooting for the death of the innocent, a 'sacrament.'

The teachers wrap up Ezekiel chapter 23, and how fundamental it is to an understanding of the two whoring houses - and why BOTH are still in exile - as an introduction to chapter 24.

This week the Torah teachers embark on the study of the first part of Ezekiel chapter 23, and what is arguably another of the most 'politically-incorrect' warnings in Scripture. The prophet, in what amounts to a 'second witness' of the metaphor from Jeremiah chapter 3, refers directly to YHVH as the husband of 'two wives.' And what should perhaps be particularly poignant THIS year, after a Yah-hating anti-constitutional 'government' passed what the Founders called "pretend legislation" mocking His institution of marriage, is the contrast. And the obvious Truth of just what the "whoring" really is. This will shock some, especially those who haven't really pondered why the world has become just what it now is. But it should disturb all those with "eyes to see." And - be forewarned - the actual text is pretty graphic. He needs to be.
