Reading: Ezekiel 39 - 48
My Verse: "And my holy name I will make known
in the midst of my people Israel,
and I will not let my holy name be profaned anymore.
And the nations shall know that I am the LORD,
the Holy One in Israel.
Behold, it is coming and
it will be brought about,
declares the LORD God.
That is the day of which I have spoken" (Ezekiel 39:7-8).
These last ten chapters of Ezekiel are so deep with symbolism and meaning that they are beyond the ability of all the scholars who have studied them to fully understand. They can only offer up possibilities as to what is meant. Mostly, they speak to that Day on which You will return, LORD God.
Chapters 39 and 40 speak of a great battle, a battle involving many armies that come against Israel, but You, LORD God have all in hand as You reveal Yourself to the world - "the nations shall know."
Then chapters 41 to 48 speak of a great city, things that will happen in that great city and how You LORD God will dwell in that place - a place that will be known as "the LORD Is There."
I like, LORD God, that there is coming a day when You will no longer allow Your name to be profaned. All who do so will know without a doubt that You indeed are LORD God. There will be no doubt and all who profane Your name will answer to You.
I like, LORD God, that there is coming a day when no nation will be able to deny You as LORD God!
"For it is written,
"As I live, says the LORD, every knee shall bow to me,
and every tongue shall confess to God" (Romans 14:11).
I like, LORD God, that all these things "will come to pass". (Matthew 24:6)
So many people live blissfully ignorant lives. They live as if they do not have to answer for themselves. They live as if this earth will go on forever. People are even having themselves frozen to be brought back to life in some distant future when scientists have learned how to do that. It is fantasy!
Your Word, The Bible, opens with "In the beginning . . ." (Genesis 1:1) This implies there will be an end. And Revelation speaks of this end. It speaks of how You, LORD Jesus are coming back as You promised on that day You left the disciples as You ascended into heaven.
Yes, "it is coming" that DAY that will be most terrible for those who stay in rebellious denial of You and most wonderful for those who have accepted You as their LORD and Savior.
"Behold, I am coming soon,
bringing my recompense with me,
to repay each one for what he has done.
I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the first and the last,
the beginning and the end" (Revelation 22:12).
Thank You, LORD Jesus, for that wonderful future DAY when You return as You have promised!
