3. that mighty gateway to the sea, the trading center of the world. Give Tyre this message from the Sovereign LORD:

"You boasted, O Tyre, 'My beauty is perfect!'
4. You extended your boundaries into the sea. Your builders made your beauty perfect.
5. You were like a great ship built of the finest cypress from Senir.
They took a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.
6. They carved your oars from the Oaks of Bashan. Your deck of pine from the coasts of Cyprus was inlaid with ivory.
7. Your sails were made of Egypt's finest linen, and they flew as a banner above you.
You stood beneath blue and purple awnings made bright with dyes from the coasts of Elishah.
8. Your oarsmen came from Sidon and Arvad; your helmsmen were skilled men from Tyre itself.
9. Wise old craftsmen from Gebal did the caulking. Ships from every land came with goods to barter for your trade.

10. "Men from distant Persia, Lydia, and Libya served in your great army. They hung their shields and helmets on your walls, giving you great honor.
11. Men from Arvad and Helech stood on your walls. Your towers were manned by men from Gammad. Their shields hung on your walls, completing your beauty.

12. "Tarshish sent merchants to buy your wares in exchange for silver, iron, tin, and lead.
13. Merchants from Greece, Tubal, and Meshech brought slaves and articles of bronze to trade with you.

14. "From Togarmah came riding horses, chariot horses, and mules, all in exchange for your goods.
15. Merchants came to you from Dedan. Numerous coastlands were your captive markets; they brought payment in ivory tusks and ebony wood.
16. "Syria sent merchants to buy your rich variety of goods. They traded turquoise, purple dyes, embroidery, fine linen, and jewelry of coral and rubies.
17. Judah and Israel traded for your wares, offering wheat from Minnith, figs honey, olive oil, and balm.

18. "Damascus sent merchants to buy your rich variety of goods, bringing wine from Helbon and white wool from Zahar. 
19. Greeks from Uzal came to trade for your merchandise. Wrought iron, cassia, and fragrant calamus were bartered for your wares.

20. "Dedan sent merchants to trade their expensive saddle blankets with you.
21. The Arabians and the princes of Kedar sent Merchants to trade lambs and rams and male goats in exchange for your goods.
22. The merchants of Sheba and Raamah came with all kinds of spices, jewels, and gold in exchange for your wares.

23. "Haran, Canneh, Eden, Sheba, Ashur, and Kilmad came with their merchandise, too.
24. They brought choice fabrics to trade — blue cloth, embroidery, and multicolored carpets rolled up and bound with cords.
25. The ships of Tarshish were your ocean caravans. Your island warehouse was filled to the brim!

15. "This is what the Sovereign LORD says to Tyre: The whole coastline will tremble at the sound of your fall, as the screams of the wounded echo in the continuing slaughter.
16. All the seaport rulers will step down from their thrones and take off their royal robes and beautiful clothing. They will sit on the ground trembling with horror at your destruction.
17. Then they will wail for you, singing this funeral song:
"O famous island city, once ruler of the sea, how you have been destroyed!
Your people, with their naval power, once spread fear around the world. 
18. Now the coastlands tremble at your fall. The islands are dismayed as you disappear.
19. "This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will make Tyre an uninhabited ruin, like many others I will bury you beneath the terrible waves of enemy attack. Great seas will swallow you.
20. I will send you to the pit to join those who descended there long ago. Your city will lie in ruins, buried beneath the earth, like those in the pit who have entered the world of the dead. You will have no place of respect here in the land of the living.
21. I will bring you to a terrible end, and you will exist no more. You will be looked for, but you will never again be found. I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken!"

1. On February 3, during the twelfth year of King Jehoiachin's captivity, this message came to me from the LORD.
2. Son of man, Tyre has rejoiced over the fall of Jerusalem, saying, 'Ha! She who was the gateway to the rich trade routes to the east has been broken, and I am the heir! Because she has been made desolate, I will be come wealthy!
3. "Therefore, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am your enemy, O Tyre, and I will bring many nations against you, like the waves of the sea crashing against your shoreline. 
4. They will destroy the walls of Tyre and tear down its towers. I will scrape away its soil and make it a bare rock!
5. It will be just a rock in the sea, a place for fishermen to spread their nets, for I have spoken, says the Sovereign LORD. Tyre will become the prey of many nations, 
6. and its mainland villages will be destroyed by the sword. Then they will know that I am the LORD.

7. "This is what the Sovereign LORD says: From the north I will bring King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon against Tyre. He is king of kings and brings his horses, chariots, charioteers, and great army.

8. First he will destroy your mainland villages. Then he will attack you by building a siege wall, constructing a ramp, and raising a roof of shields against you. 
9. He will pound your walls with battering rams and demolish your towers awith sledgehammers.
10. The hooves of his horses will choke the city with dust, and the noise of the charioteers and chariot wheels will shake your walls as they storm through your broken gates.
11. His horseman will trample through every street in the city. They will butcher your people, and your strong pillars will topple.

12. "They will plunder all your riches and merchandise and break down your walls. They will destroy your lovely homes and dump your stones and timbers and even your dust into the sea.
13. I will stop the music of our songs. No more will the sound of harps be heard among your people.
14. I will make your island a bare rock, a place for fishermen to spread their nets. You will never be rebuilt, for I, the LORD, have spoken. Yes, the Sovereign LORD has spoken!

  • Begin with asking God to open your heart to what He has for you to hear today.
  • Read a passage of the Scripture
  • Is a miracle in the passage? Is a relationship deepened in some way? Has God stepped in and shown His power, 
  • Has he shown His discipline or even His protection or His end goal? 
  • Has Jesus, lived life, shown love, or taught?
  • Whatever the passage holds that brings you an awareness of who He is, praise Him for that revelation.

1. Then this message came to me from the LORD: 
2. "Son of man, turn and face the land of Ammon and prophesy against its people.
3. Give the Ammonites this message from the Sovereign LORD: Hear the word of the Sovereign LORD! Because you cheered when my Temple was defiled, mocked Israel in her desolation, and laughed at Judah as she went away into exile,
4. I will allow nomads from the eastern deserts to overrun your country. They will set up their camps among you and pitch their tents on your land. They will harvest all your fruit and drink the milk from your livestock.
5. And I will turn the city of Rabbath into a pasture for camels, and all the land of the Ammonites into a resting place for sheep and goats. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

6. "This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because you clapped and danced and cheered with glee at the destruction  of my people,
7. I will raise my fist of judgment against you. I will give you as plunder to many nations. I will cut you off from being a nation and destroy you completely . Then you will know that I am the LORD.

15. Then this message came to me from the LORD:
16. "Son of man, with one blow I will take away your dearest treasure. Yet you must not show any sorrow at her death. Do not weep; let there be no tears.
17. Groan silently, but let there be no wailing at her grave. Do not uncover your head or take off your sandals. Do not perform the usual rituals of mourning or accept any food brought to you by consoling friends."

18 So I proclaimed this to the people the next morning, and in the evening my wife died. The next morning I did everything I had been told to do.
19. Then the people asked, "What does all this mean? What are you trying to tell us?"

20. So I said to them, "A message came to me from the LORD,
21. and I was told to give this message to the people of Israel. This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will defile my Temple, the source of your security and pride, the place your heart delights in. Your sons and daughters whom you left behind in Judea will be slaughtered by the sword.
22. Then you will do as Ezekiel has done. You will not mourn in public or console yourselves by eating the food brought by friends. 
23. Your heads will remain covered, and your sandals will not be taken off. You will not mourn or weep, but you will waste away because of your sins. You will mourn privately for all the evil you have done.
24. Ezekiel is an example for you; you will do just as he has done. And when that time comes, you will know that I am the LORD."

1. On January 15, during the ninth year of King Jehoiachin's captivity, this message come to me from the LORD: 
2. "Son of man, write down today's date, because on this very day the king of Babylon is beginning his attack against Jerusalem.
3. Then give these rebels an illustration with this message from the Sovereign LORD:

"Put a pot on the fire, and pour in some water.
4. Fill it with choice pieces of meat — the rump and the shoulder and all the most tender cuts.
5. Use only the best sheep from the flock, and heap fuel on the fire beneath the pot.
Bring the pot to a boil, and cook the bones along with the meat.

6. "Now this is what the Sovereign LORD says:
What sorrow awaits Jerusalem, the city of murderers! She is a cooking pot whose corruption can't be cleaned out. 
Take the meat out in random order, for no piece is better than another.
7. For the blood of her murders is splashed on the rocks. It isn't even spilled on the ground, where the dust could cover it!
8. So I will splash her blood on a rock for all to see, an expression of my anger and vengeance against her.

9. "This is what the Sovereign LORD says: What sorrow awaits Jerusalem, the city of murderers! I myself will pile up the fuel beneath her.
10. Yes, heap on the wood! Let the fire roar to make the pot boil.
Cook the meat with many spices, and afterward burn the bones. 
11. Now set the empty pot on the coals. Heat it red hot! Burn away the filfth and corruption. 
12. But it's hopeless; the corruption can't be cleaned out. So throw it into the fire. 
13. Your impurity is your lewdness and the corruption of your idolatry, I tried to cleanse you, but you refused. So now you will remain in your filth until my fury against you has been satisfied.

14. "I, the LORD, have spoken! The time has come, and i won't hold back. I will not change my mind, and I will have no pity on you. You will be judged on the basis of all your wicked actions, says the Sovereign LORD."
Ezekiel 24:1-14 NLT

1283.

The LORD'S Judgment on Both Sisters
​
Today's Passage: Ezekiel 23:36-49
​​

Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.
​
Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).

​2.
Invite God to join you in your reading. Ask Him for wisdom.
If there is anything in your spirit hindering you, confess it now.
He knows it. You are forgiven. 
Ask Him to help you embrace that truth to live it out.


a prayer:
Thank You for meeting me, LORD.

I welcome you into this place.
Please prepare my heart Jehovah.
Thank you, Omnipotent God for insight.

6th strategy.

Cause and Effect or 
as I like to say: 
​Our Choices make a difference.

© RR&BC, LLC 2020
​​
  • Begin by inviting God to show you what is the cause and effect hidden in these verses. Ask Him to show you nuggets of wisdom.
  • Read the passage completely. Don't worry about getting too technical or scholarly in this activity. The purpose is to draw your attention to a decision that was made what was done and what was the end result, because of that decision. We make choices everyday. Have we taken into consideration what the end result of our choices might be?
  • Divide a piece of paper into two columns.
  • Title the first column Cause/Decision and the second column Effect/End result
  • Reread the passage. This time ask if there are any instructions that are given that have a direct end result.
  • Write down the causes (in Cause column)and the effects (in the Effects column).
  • Do you find a pattern?
  • What are your thoughts?
  • Now as you wrap all these thoughts up in your mind. Stop and thank God for being with you this very day. Ask Him to give you guidance in your choices. May they be glorifying.

36. The LORD said to me, "Son of man, you must accuse Oholah and Oholibah of all their detestable sins.
37. They have committed both adultery and murder —adultery by worshiping idols and murder by burning as sacrifices the children they bore to me.
38. Furthermore, they have defiled my Temple and violated my Sabbath day!
39. On the very day that they sacrificed their children to their idols, they boldly came into my Temple to worship! They came in and defiled my house. 

40. "You sisters sent messengers to distant lands to get men. Then when they arrived, you bathed yourselves, painted your eyelids, and put on your finest jewels for them.
41. You sat with them on a beautifully embroidered couch and put my incense and my sepcial oil on a table that was spread before you.
42. From your room came the sound of many men carousing. They were lustful men and drunkards from the wilderness, who put bracelets on your wrists and beautiful crowns on your heads.
43. Then I said, 'If they really want to have sex with old worn-out prostitutes like these, let them!' 
44. And that is what they did. They had sex with Oholah and Oholibah, these shameless prostitutes.
45. But righteous people will judge these sister cities for what they really are adulterers and murderers.

46. "Now this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Bring an army against them and hand them over to be terrorized and plundered.
47. For their enemies will stone them and kill them with swords. They will butcher their sons and daughters and burn their homes.
48. In this way, I will put an end to lewdness and idolatry in the land, and my judgment will be a warning to others not to foolow their wicked example.
49. You will be fully repaid for all your postitution — your worship of idols. Yes, you will suffer the full penalty. Then you will know that I am the Sovereign LORD."
Ezekiel 23:36-49 NLT
