Ezekiel 17 records a riddle or parable given to Judah by God through the prophet Ezekiel. The story is of two great eagles and a vine. The first eagle represents the king of Babylon, the second eagle the king of Egypt, and the vine represents the people of Judah. We’re able to see how the people of Judah began to hope for Egypt’s help rather than being satisfied with where
God had let them be placed. As a result of Judah’s faithlessness, Jerusalem would be completely conquered and the Temple destroyed. God had positioned Babylon to bring judgment to Judah and the nations surrounding her. We learn that King Zedekiah of Judah did not have to end as tragically as he did. His sons did not have to die, he didn’t have to become blind. The
leadership of Judah should have listened to the true prophets of God.

Human behavior is fascinating, isn’t it? So often we try to do what we think others want us to do, what they would approve of, because we want to look good in their eyes. Does human approval really matter though? What does it really get us in the long run? We can end up hurting ourselves by worki...

God Judges; Ezekiel 23-24
It is not enough to believe that God exists as a higher power, or as a spiritual force. The Bible clearly portrays God as the God of all things, the Creator of the very universe. From Him comes all goodness and true morality. Even when it doesn’t seem like it, God is active in the world. Even whe...
