Ezekiel #14
Outline of Chapter 16: (1) Eze 16:1-5 A people rejected; (2) Eze 16:6-14 Nation adopted by God; (3) Eze 16:15-34 Jehovah's bride falling into adultery; (4) Eze 16:35-43 Lovers of the bride become her executioners; (5) Eze 16:44-59 Depths of degeneracy; (6) Eze 16:60-63 He will atone for His people. God is saying "you were an illegitimate child" in Eze 16:1-4, (Amos 2:10), referring to their time in Egypt. Israel became of age and married to God (Eze 16:4-8). God dotes on her (Eze 16:9-14) referring to their release from Egypt and the Kingdoms of David and Solomon. She was unfaithful and regressed into perverse idolatry (Eze 16:15-19). She became degenerate and would not repent (Eze 16:20-34, Jer 2:21). Israels "lovers" became their executioners (Eze 16:35-43). The divine vine-dresser "lifts up" and prunes the vine so that it'll bear fruit (Joh 15:1-27). Branches thrown out break fellowship and the world will be our judge (Joh 15:6). Fruit of the spirit is love, the other eight characteristics are manifestations (Gal 5:22).
