Part 39 in this series.
Verses 1-14 are the parable of the boiling pot:
1-2 message
3-14 detail
3-9 seige of Jerusalem
10-14 destruction of Jerusalem
Verses 15 to 27 are the main focus of this morning's study: the sign of the bereaved prophet, the unmourned wife.
We have been told throughout the book that Ezekiel is not only giving a message from God, but at times is himself a sign to the nation.
It's good to respond to God's ministry to bring restoration. When the Lord brings a message to a church, if they continue without listening, the Lord says, "I will remove thy lampstand". The city meant to be set on a hill, a light to the Gentiles, had gone astray from their mission.
Obedience is costly.
