That was a phenomenal letter, extremely convicting, and so well connecting our sins in the church with their sins in the temple!I certainly see myself, and my wicked heart, in that passage in Ezekiel 8:
Ezekiel 8:12b every man in the chambers of his imagery?
Things that I have even attempted to hide from myself:
Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Feigning myself as if I was going to go on my merry way, but rebuke needed to come, and it would seem that the LORD chose to use you, with your letter, do that:
Psalms 50:21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
And in reading it, there it was, all mine iniquities laid out before me, yet through a 2600 year old message to the Jews on the brink of destruction:
Psalms 90:8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
How could it so easily fit?
I Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
No, you have not become mine enemy because you told me the truth.Thank you so much for writing that.
btw - in these days, we also are still ensnared by images, but ours are on the tv, the phone and the computer screen
