I'm currently studying the book of
Ezekiel. God used Ezekiel to warn the Jews that their captivity in Babylon was
not a temporary issue; that they would be in captivity for decades. Ezekiel’s
task was to confront Israel with her sin and warn her of impending destruction.
Ezekiel employed several means to focus on the people’s need for judgment
including signs, sermons and visions. Ezekiel acted what would happen to
Jerusalem, interesting actions by this “Watchman on the Wall.” His warning were
mostly ignored and Jerusalem was destroyed
In Ephesians Chapter 2:11-22 Paul
speaks of “Jew and Gentile Reconciled Through Christ.” Ephesians 2:19 Now
therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the
saints, and of the household of God;” Fellow citizens, same responsibility to
God.
During this month of May extreme weather continues
a week after the horrific tornado that leveled much of Moore, OK. When the “experts”
blame the wild weather on global warming and/or climate change on humans I have
to agree with them, however, it's not because of our carbon footprint. Rather
it is our insistence on pursuing our sinful nature. Given our country's
acceptance of same-sex marriage, unfettered abortion and throwing Israel under
the bus, God has been dropping his hedge of protection from our country. God has
used many disasters to get our attention.
In his book “The Harbinger” Messianic
Rabbi Jonathan Cahn warned that the reaction of the United States to 9/11 was
to shake our fist in God’s face as in the case of the Northern Kingdom. "The
bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are
cut down, but we will change them into cedars." Isaiah 9:10. Since 911
there have been many more attempts by God to call us to repent. Rather them repenting
we coined the word “Strong.” After the Boston Marathon bombing we heard “Boston
Strong.” After the horrific tornado in Moore, OK we are “Moore Strong.” So God
continues with the wild and deadly weather.
Jews or Gentile, we are accountable to
God.

deals with our Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent God!
18 For the wrath of God is revealed
from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the
truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of
God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him
from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things
that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without
excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God,
they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their
imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise,
they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible
God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted
beasts, and creeping things
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to
uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own
bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a
lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is
blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up
unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that
which is against nature:
