Ezekiel 20A group of elders make an appointment with Ezekiel in order to consult with him. They hope that their obvious display of solidarity and authority will take this errant prophet off guard and that he will come to his senses and stop betraying his people with his prophecies. The LORD speaks out against them and the nation they represent. He says that they have been idolaters even in Egypt, and he cannot take it anymore. He will purge his people by sending them back to exile. When they return, Jerusalem will be different. It will display God’s glory.
LORD, forgive us for trying to gang up on you. Yours is the only authority we want to recognize. Your will is the only law we want to follow.
