The pagan high places that sported altars to foreign gods were supposed to be good luck, bring fertile fields and flocks. The LORD promised to defile them with the dead bodies of the apostate. Those who survived the sword would be scattered through the countries, and would remember this prophet’s ranting. They would know that they brought the judgment upon themselves. It was to be just like judgment day, when the dead stand before Christ. All rebellious souls will see their own choices, and will know that God is right in bringing his wrath upon them.
LORD, forgive us for whoring after our idols. Restore our relationship with you.
Ezekiel 6
