Ezekiel 39:7-10 The Message

7 “I’ll reveal my holy name among my people Israel. Never again will I let my holy name be dragged in the mud. Then the nations will realize that I, God, am The Holy in Israel.
8 “It’s coming! Yes, it will happen! This is the day I’ve been telling you about.
9-10 “People will come out of the cities of Israel and make a huge bonfire of the weapons of war, piling on shields large and small, bows and arrows, clubs and spears, a fire they’ll keep going for seven years. They won’t need to go into the woods to get fuel for the fire. There’ll be plenty of weapons to keep it going. They’ll strip those who stripped them. They’ll rob those who robbed them. Decree of God, the Master.

For Reflection

In the mid 6th century (BCE), Babalon teemed with many different ethnic groups, religions, cults, and, of course, Gods.  The Jews' faith was weakened by the social pressure to worship many gods.  God punishes the Jews and those who worship false gods.
However, later on, God tells Ezekiel to prophesy hope in the day when reconciliation will bring peace and the Jews would have a home. God would reveal to all nation what God is and the principles upon which God operates.

Later in Jerimiah God says that God's righteous word will be written on the hearts of all people.  Each person will be responsible and accountable for his or her action.

Pray

Pray so that you will be moved by the power of God to make things right.  Pray so what God has written upon your soul will respond to Gods principles of love, forgiveness, and justice.
