1/24/13  Ezekiel 21
God draws His sword and Ezekiel is told to weep and groan, to cry out and wail, and to clap his hands.  The response of those listening will be despair.  Their hearts will melt, their spirits will faint, their knees will become weak.   God's sword in this case is the king of Babylon and the time has come for him to strike. The sins of Israel and Judah are being uncovered. ( Nothing is hidden that will not come to light).   He is pouring out His indignation on those who refuse to repent, who have rebelled, who have multiplied their sins. They will have no more kings... " until He comes whose right it is; and I shall give it to Him"

Oh Thanks to God for this phrase added to verse 27!  The King, who has the right to the throne! 
King Jesus has received the throne because He alone is worthy.  Perfect in all His ways!  Obedient unto death.  Worthy to receive honor and glory and power.  Praise to the One Who sits on the throne and to the Lamb! 

There will come another time when God will draw His sword. Judgement will come a final time to all who refuse to repent, who rebel against the One Who sits on the Throne,  who multiply their sins even as Israel did.  God will by no means let the guilty go unpunished. " A ruin, a ruin, a ruin, I shall make it" v27.  Make no mistake at the thinking there are no consequences for unbelief and rebellion against God.  Eternal death will come to those who refuse His gift of salvation.  Yet He offers compassion, forgiveness, love to all who will turn to Him, call on His Name, and receive the redemption purchased by the blood of Jesus Christ.    " For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies, declares the Lord God Therefore repent and LIVE"  Ez. 18:32
