THEME OF EZEKIEL - Hannes Zegement Grove

THEME OF EZEKIEL

When you fail to recognize your sin
you fail to recognize God.

I believe this is the main theme throughout Ezekiel. They thought because they had the temple and were God’s elect―God’s love for them will protect them. Jerusalem wouldn’t be burned to the ground. They were living in sin and still believed they were right with God. They did not recognize their sin and this made them to fail to recognize God.

Ezekiel was exiled. And what did happen? God allowed Jerusalem to be destroyed and burnt to the ground. While I’m meditating on this scripture God made me to wake up and be in tears!! Showing me that this is the condition in my country and this is the condition of my fellow South Africans’ heart. He opened the eyes of my sout to weep!! They don’t recognize their sin and are failing to recognize Me! I need to warn you from the wrath to come!! I can do it by preaching the law and righteousness of God, because you are living in sin and do not see you are sinning against God! God is starting to destroy us through our enemies just as in the time of Ezekiel, when will you repent? Or will you keep living in sin till God burns our Jerusalem to the ground, just as in the time of Ezekiel.
