    Ez.2:5-8 "Of Whose are we?

    Here we have a terrible indictment coming from God at a nation whom He had once qualified as His Firstborn. It is how God wanted his servant Moses to introduce them as His people to Pharaoh. 'They are a rebellious house' and God wants them to be shown what they had become. It was the task of Ezekiel to speak his words and serve as a sign as well as suffer personally for their sins. Social distancing during the pandemic became mandatory. Rebelling against sensible laws set in place for order and safety, for public good is to be blamed. They are in fact rebelling against God.

    Without ensuring faith of theIn the following verse we have this line,"Sothe LORD alone did lead him, andthere was no strange god with him(v.12)."God as the Maker of the heaven and the earth has placed man in His house. Moses was faithful and his role was as one entrusted with the upkeep of it. "For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God./ And Moses verily was faithful in all his house(He.3:4-5), From the Book of Moses the Lord alone did lead him shows the nature of faith and it was pretty obvious from his infancy so much so the writer to the Hebrews testifies thus,"By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;(He.11:24)" So what proves your antecedents that you belong to the House of God? Is it not faith?

    Every verse here God repeats their rebellious character. In their bondage He had respect and concern. He gave them commandments and delivered them with a mighty hand from a furnace that the land of Egypt had become ."As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings(De.32:11)":

    5And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.
