EZEKIEL 10-11:
Yesterday in chapters 8-9 we heard the story of
Ezekiel’s being transported to Jerusalem and his awesome vision of
our glorious God revealing the idolatry of Israel happening right
at the temple. Some of the locations shown are literal, and some
are to be taken figuratively. One clearly sees that God has every
right to be highly offended. Note that the people sharing God’s
grief at this idolatrous situation received a mark on their
foreheads.
SONG OF SOLOMON 6:
Yesterday in chapter 5, we heard the young
woman relating her dream.
MATTHEW 26a:
Yesterday we heard Jesus’ direct and clear
teaching about the final judgment. This was no parable. And note
the words, “eternal punishment.”
GNT Translation
note:
Mat. 26:14 Then one of the twelve disciples—
[Judas, the one from the village of Karioth//the one named Judas
Iscariot] —went to the chief priests
24
[I,] The Son of Man will die as the Scriptures say [I//he] will,
but how terrible for that man who will betray [me//the Son of Man]!
It would have been better for that man if he had never been
born!”
