Ezekiel's Denunciations of Judah (Continued) - Ezekiel 23:1-49; Siege of Jerusalem - 2 Kings 24:20; 2 Chronicles 36:13; Jeremiah 52:3-4; 2 Kings 25:1; Jeremiah 39:1
Ok, I don't know how I read over it before. Perhaps its shocking nature put it out of my mind. God will go to any lengths to save us from ourselves. He's willing to paint our story of infidelity to Him in the most graphic manner imaginable. There's a reason you've never heard the Bible story of Oholah and her sister Oholibah preached. We have more shame than to repeat it. But in our lives, don't we repeat it? So we won't tell the story out of decency, even though we live lives of gross indecency. But God will say anything to save us. Even verses you'd never thought uttered in the Bible:
"She lusted after her lovers , whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses." Ezekiel 23:20
Are you blushing? We should be. Lord knows.
