Discuss Ezekiel 16 Page 2

Before Jerusalem was conquered by the Israelites, it was in the possession of the Jebusites. It was called Salem in which Melchizidek resided. The first several verses is actually detailing in a symbolic manner the founding of Jerusalem by an Amorite Hittite mix from the family of Caanan. There was no Law established or covenant saved that which was given by Noah.

Wow ! Wow! Wow! to me this sound like every nation of the whole world in 2018.

Jeff; AMEN Brother! "Those of us" know very well how much we hurt ourselves and others by sinning, before we repented and were truly converted! It is written, Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed..And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: Ezekiel 16:61-63 We are now clean through the Word which Jesus has spoken unto us; but now have to fight!

These cities and these people were real, and the things they did. These things were not written for some obscure and imagined "spiritualizing" but to teach us from what they really did and what is the word of God about them. What is remarkable is that the LORD is going to restore all the ancient peoples to their former estates and make a new covenant with them. His way are higher than our ways!

Christian Powell; What is the difference between Sodom and Nineveh? and why was one shown mercy and the other destroyed? The men of Nineveh repented at the preaching of Jonah: God's pronouncement of imminent destruction convicted them of their sins, and they responded appropriately. Although Sodom had Lot living among them, there wasn't one person who took it to heart. Read Ezekiel 16:49-50

Verse 12: Jehovah God really elevated the nation of Israel by blessing them after they were delivered from Egypt.

We read how at the Great White Throne all shall stand before the KING for judgment, and it says that the books will be opened, and the book of Life. We read about how in the world to come the Saints will be in charge of the government of the world under Christ. Who are the Nations of the saved? Ezekiel 16:53-63 suggests that all Nations shall be restored to their former estate; minus the wicked.

The first thing I noticed is that Abraham was from Canaan which must mean he was black. God is comparing Israel to a whorish woman because of her idolatry. She took on the idols of the heathen. I'm not sure who Sodom represents here but Samaria represents the N.Kingdom. V.60 says He will have mercy on them and establish an everlasting covenant with them when His fury towards them has ended.

Amazing chapter amazing bible as always

Hi BSP; I found a very interesting scripture touching the people of Sodom; Ezekiel 16:49-50. Now with regard to Lot seeming so naive, and willing rather to overlook the ungodly spirit pervading the place; and because of strifes and difficulties, being willing to leave his father's brother alone with his faith, and the life of a nomad; just as the Lord described the good seed sown among the thorns.

Verses 49-50 Does this sound like any countries today? The catastrophe which the LORD rained down on Sodom and Gomorrha were for a warning to all who would after live ungodly, or who might be at the point of doing any of those wicked things which they did. The sins most remembered about them were but the result of their pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness; then they became haughty..

This a powerful message to the people of Jerusalem. It warns you of mixing with everyone It also apply to us today. God doesn 't stop us from doing wrong. He let 's you do according to your heart, but you will reap what you sow.

when GOD says 'LIVE ' none can say otherwise.

I have read this powerful Scripture in many different versions but the Amplified words it in an entirely, different prospective! It reads "..when you were in your NATAL BLOOD, I said unto you "Live "...implying that this could or DID apply to when one was still in their Mother 's womb! I 'd like your thoughts on this.

This scripture works Ezekiel 16 6 I had gallbaddler surgery the old fashion way I was cut about 12Inchs down my side the doctor put staples in to close my side but they didn 't do there job I suffered for several days with my side bleeding . And God reminded me of this scripture Ezekiel 16 6 And thank god it worked. Only Belive.

I have a friend with a blood disease. I use this scripture with my prayers for her.

Does it mean every character exhibited by a female child is inherited from her mother?

The sin of Sodom, was pride, and full of empty time on her hand.Neither did she give her hand to the poor, and needy yet God will establish a everlasting covenant with Israel, and they will remember the covenant of their youth. Israel will be a faithful wife, and will not commit the abominations of her youth. Beauty is vain, and favor deceitful. The woman that fears the Lord she will be praised. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

It is very obvious why Sodom was destroyed, as it was spelled out in concise language in Ezekiel.
"the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness"
Ezekiel 16:49
Taking any other proposed or assumed reason for the destruction of Sodom would contradict the Bible itself.

The new Jerusalem (city of peace): new heaven & a new earth ( new spirit or mind and a new soul or heart) Revelation 21:1.
The old Jerusalem : Canaan ( merechant,traffick)(bring into subjection, subdue,etc.)H3667,3665. Old Jerusalem represents religion with all it's rituals,ceremonies,and traditions of the law that bring us into bondage.
My son, keep thy father's commandment,and forsake not the law of thy mother. Proverbs 6:20
Father:(instructor): Amorite (sayer,act proudly,to boast,mt.dweller or pride)
Mother:a religious establishment or to give birth to; law giver.
Hittite (terror,break down by confusion and fear,etc.) H2850,2845,2865)
These are the religious leaders in organized religion, which keep the people in darkness and bondage.
Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they unto him, We be not Born of Fornication; we have one Father, even God...Ye are of your father the devil( 1Peter 5:8,9- Proverbs 28:15), and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer(hater) from the beginning, and abode not in the Truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 8:30-44.
Sad to say, but many find themselves in bondage,and don't even know it, because they follow after men and religious rituals,ceremonies and trditions. That's why their is so much strife among religious people.
When we are truly born of God; we walk in obedience to His Word through Love.
Love worketh no ill to his neighbour; therefore Love is the fulfilling of the law.
Romans 13:10

Hope this has been helpful.
