Last week we started a new series entitled "From That Day Forward" mentioned in Ezekiel 39:22. We learned Israel will know God is their Lord "From That Day Forward" after God judges Israel's enemies by defeating them in battle.
Our message this week will look at Ezekiel 39:23 that says, "The Gentiles shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they were unfaithful to Me, therefore I hid My face from them." Jehovah God is saying:
Israel Was Sent Into Captivity For Their Iniquity
They Were Unfaithful To God
God Hid His Face From Israel
Why would a loving and caring God do this to His Chosen People? Jehovah God gave Moses on Mt. Sinai The Law for His people outlining how they should live obeying and honoring Him. How did His people respond? A major portion of The Old Testament illustrates God's Covenant People disobeying Him. Hosea 8:4 shows God saying, "They set up kings, but not by Me; they made princes and I did not acknowledge it. From their silver and gold they made idols for themselves."
God's Chosen People broke the Mt. Sinai Covenant in the following manner:
They Rebelled Against God's Law
They Set Up Kings Other Than God
They Made Idols Of Silver And Gold
They Made Princes Not Authorized By God
As a result, God scattered His Chosen People around the world and the majority of them still live where God has scattered them. However, Hosea 8:10 says, "Now I will gather them." Our Lord God has not forgotten His Chosen People and is in the process of bringing them home to Israel. Hallelujah!
We believe God's Covenant People will know He is Lord "From That Day Forward" in the process of God bringing them home again. Bless His Holy Name! We will examine Jehovah God bringing His People home and its results in more detail in our next message. Stay Tuned!
May The Lord Continue Blessing You Today And Everyday,
Frank
