Have you ever stood in great need of comfort and encouragement? If so, you know that in time of affliction, there is no thought or word that has deeper meaning, nor any possession of greater value, than that of effective and genuine comfort. The objective of this study is to equip us to have the assurance that there is comfort available, and to know how to be comforted, as well as how to be a comfort to others in the fires of affliction.

Ezekiel #8
Chapter 3 Ezekiel eats the scroll. He is declared a watchman. Ezekiel 4 he makes a siege works of clay. Chapter 5 he illustrates the destruction of Jerusalem and the remnant. Chapter 7 -“the end has come”. Righteousness and Justice are Gods character (Psa 89:14). <U>Ezekiel Chapter 7 Outline</U>: The final disaster (Eze 7:1-9); demolition of pride (Eze 7:10-15); judgment on wealth idolatry and religion (Eze 7:16-22); the grand finale (Eze 7:23-27). Judgment falls on the unsaved, discipline falls on believers. Discipline is for correction - from reproof to premature death - is motivated by divine love. God deals with us in Mercy (Rom 2:6) If you sow to the spirit you reap the Spirit, but to the flesh, destruction (Gal 6:7, 2Co 11:15, Jer 17:10). If we judge ourselves, He will not judge (1Co 11:11). False prophets always preach an acceptable message (Eze 7:25). God takes the word from those He destroyed (Eze 7:26, Amo 8:11).
