The signs God used through Ezekiel illustrates purpose to open perception
in order that an awareness of the events should signify the justice of God in
effect. What was to portray the situation made clear the facts in the results
of impending punishment. With the instructions clear of a plan laid out in a
simulated form, the idea would be plain to the mind just how damaging the
attack would be to take place with devastating consequences. These persistent
attacks that would come against such a place that ordinarily was strong would
weaken its defense so that the ability to defend it would be futile. We must keep
this gesture in understanding of how God brings awareness to the senses that
human attempts to come against what is seemingly fortified ruins those who are
unprepared to repent and obey God to stay in a healthy relationship in proportion
to what He expects so that security remains sure. The iniquities weakened the
capacity of strength that blessings could have enabled deliverance; It would then
take nothing short of the grace of God to restore what was broken into. Years of
punishment would later give way to restoration; although the length of time
would be challenging, God Himself in Jesus would know the outcome in a better
healing than any earthly mentality or human endeavor that often only figures to the
worst of ideas. God’s way is more fitting than unhealthy alliances that lead those
astray from God’s promises. When in such captivity, trials faced brings reality to
the fullest sense of mind and in reminiscence of all that has already occurred that
could be reasoned out of response. Regarding those specific instructions God
gave Ezekiel, it may very well be concluded that His response in that situation
would allow one to think of such severity and scarcity in times of war that such
separation sin causes to the people of God for disobedience to Him and lack of
respect to the glory and honor that could only belong to Him. At such times, one
could then take sure cognizance of one’s values that may be in jeopardy when all
dignity seems lost to forced defilement, and the cutting off of supply that is needed
would press one to rely upon God in a tremendous amount of faith in a source beyond
oneself or that any other could afford. With every collection of thought on these
matters, we must conclude that our minds should be centered upon God with strict
adherence to what He says in the person and work of Jesus Christ in faithfulness
to His Word to us to live according to His standards in the grace and love He gave!
Watch with an obedient ear and an open heart, “They Did Not Take Warning, Will You?”
