The Duality: Bitter Waters and Sweet Obedience

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! His words never fail. Judgement will fall upon the head of the wicked and evil man who harbored bitterness and rejoiced upon the disgrace of Israel. You will taste the bitter waters of despair. The Lord does not rejoice in evil nor does the Israelite whose heart has been purged of uncleanliness, but justice will stand in truth, honor and dignity and will not lie.

Ezk 35:5-8

Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:

Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.

Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.

And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.

I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.


Oh Israel, the time has come with much endurance, resilience and patience. You shall walk in purity, holiness and righteousness. The Lord has given you authority to reign in your city and upon everywhere your feet shall trend. Remember the wilderness and what you have endured and how the Lord brought you through every trial. Remember God’s covenants and laws. Reflect on them daily. Precede with caution and wisdom. The Lord goes before you. He will protect and guide you. He will establish your hand. Give God all the glory for the work He has done! Rejoice! I say again, “Rejoice!”

Ezk 36:24-32

24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.

25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

29 I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.

30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.

31 Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.

32 Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord God, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.
