Hebrews 4:11-16. We should labor to enter into God’s rest. It seems contradictory, but God’s rest is active, applying God’s word, sharper than any two-edged sword, in other words, active belief. Jesus did labor likewise, our high priest was in every way tempted as we are, yet without sin.

Ezekiel 21. Babylon was chosen as the sword of God for judgement, a sword against Judah and the Ammonites.

Ezekiel 22. Jerusalem had become a morally, ethically and spiritually bankrupt city, God found no righteous people, much less leaders, so He was going to destroy it with drought and fire.

Ezekiel 23 tells in some length of two harlot sisters, one is Samaria, the other Jerusalem. God will execute judgment on both Jerusalem and Samaria.

Ezekiel 24. God told Ezekiel to put on a cooking pot, fill it with water and the parts from the best animal, boil it dry, let the kettle burn up the meat completely and char the bones. So shall it be done with the city of bloodshed. Ezekiel’s wife died. Put up a stiff upper lip, Ezekiel!

Hebrews 4:1-10 deals with the Sabbath-rest for the People of God. The Jews in the wilderness could not enter because of disobedience, but we, thanks to Jesus, who believe, can enter. Remember, “Today” is the key word. Read it carefully!

Ezekiel 20. Though Israel pleaded with God, He would not listen because of their rebellious idol worship. God through Ezekiel then retold the history of Israel and their idolatry and blasphemy, Israel will be severely punished, but in the end, God will restore Israel. The chapter ends with a prophecy against the South, God will destroy the Southern forests.

Psalm 102. A penitential psalm. It recalls the great deeds and miracles God did for His people in the wilderness, and how they disobeyed and turned to idols, even to the point of child sacrifice. In spite of this God is still merciful and there is still hope. It ends with a Hallelujah
