RE: Will Jesus Enter the Eastern Gate For the First Time or, Again?
Although from a different prophet ,ie Isaiah and not Ezekiel I am remimded of
Isa 56:7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people. What did Jesus say in reference to this verse? Mat 21:12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, Mat 21:13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. and Mar 11:15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves; Mar 11:16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple. Mar 11:17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves. Mar 11:18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine. It seems that many plans that God had for His people in the OT were thwarted by the people themselves and not carried out.Promises and prophecies also depended on the people being obedient and obeying God's commandments. While a lot of Ezekiel is visions and thus may have spiritual as opposed to literal fulfilments let us say for arguments sake that they were physical.And if the people disregard or disobey God's instructions given back then as they did with the House of Prayer for all nations is God meant to put all plans on hold and just wait for the people to obey? Somehow I don't think so. Psa 81:10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. Psa 81:11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me. Psa 81:12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels. Psa 81:13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways! Psa 81:14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. Psa 81:15 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever. Psa 81:16 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee. Isa 48:17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. Isa 48:18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea: Luk 13:6 He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. Luk 13:7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? Luk 13:8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: Luk 13:9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down. |
