"And ye shall know that I am theLord" is the key verse for our meditation. Ezekiel like Isaiah was to warn the house of Israel where lay the fault. Judgement was coming and Ezekiel as the watchman had to warn them and make them change their ways before it was too late.
Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,
3And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LordGod; Thus saith the LordGodto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys; Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places.
Nations round about Israel are compared figuratively to mountains. By the same token movers and shakers of his time are mountains of Israel. God's judgment falling upon them bring in for judgment upon their way of life. (v.6) In their idols and images we have a clue what went wrong. "Every man is brutish inhisknowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten imageisfalsehood, andthere isno breath in them.: ( Je. 10:14)"
In contrast we have the key to knowledge: "The fear of the LORDisthe beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holyisunderstanding (Pro.9:10). God's protection ought to have been their refuge but Israel instead chose the foolish path by serving pagan gods of nations that surrounded them. "As the mountainsareround about Jerusalem, so the LORDisround about his people from henceforth even for ever(Ps.125:2)." We have David's prayer,"Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thouartmy rock and my fortress(71:3)".
