Scripture Reading: Ezekiel 8:13-18
Ezekiel was shown some terrible religious abominations that the people of the Kingdom of Judah were committing against their God. The women were “weeping for Tammuz” and 25 men were having a sun rise service in the inner court of the temple. Then Ezekiel is asked a question: “Is it a light thing”? God then tells Ezekiel that He would deal in fury: “though they cry to Mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.”
What a judgment. The God of Judah was surely provoked greatly. He would not hear their cries that they made with their loud voices; He would not hear them.
Is this like what has happened in recent times to the descendants of the ancient Israelites? What about the United States right before the War Between the States? Had this happen once again? I believe that it had, and the judgment was what God said it would be. And it has increased more and more over the years.
