what are yall's take on this;

Eze 14:12 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,



Eze 14:13 Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:



Eze 14:14 Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD.



Eze 14:15 If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts:



Eze 14:16 Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.



Eze 14:17 Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:



Eze 14:18 Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.



Eze 14:19 Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:



Eze 14:20 Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.



Eze 14:21 For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?



Eze 14:22 Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it.



Eze 14:23 And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.


thanks and God bless

hello Euty

some thoughts
............
I have heard that such wickedness from people, causes a nest of vipers to enter into their land.This nest of evil is so evil it would seem nothing shall repair it, so it is left desolated...or...God destroys it Himself.

as example...
there is a house in our street where a marriage once broke up....but each successive family that has moved into that house, has been broken up too.

why?
Ofcourse we know this may not always happen.

does evil live in ''nests'' ..
yes it does.
Jesus said to the Pharisee
''YE NEST OF VIPERS.''
but weren't these very men and their religion not left desolated 70yrs later?

Why does Father place ''a hedge'' around us? - the small remnant.
why do we need this 'hedge' - perhaps it is to protect us from those nests of vipers?
ummmmm interesting... is all i can say.
IF we only had ''eyes'' to see, perhaps we would steer a different course ourselves.

Have u ever read that book Placebo by Howard Pittman?
This man had ''his eye opened'' in a busy city street once and he saw the people and the demons hovering over them, waiting to gain entry.

so much we don't know about and so little understanding do we have [sigh]....however GRACE abounds and His mercy endureth forever and some are coming out from the darkness of their religions and begining to understand REAL LIFE amen.
