Tolerating Sin< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
Ezekiel 9
What is funny to worldly people has now also become funny to the people with the word of God. Abomination is no longer an ugly sight to the church anymore. Just as the word is condoning abominations, GodÕs temple is also playing a part by not crying over all kinds of abominations. As a < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>temple of God, you cry over by extending a loud and clear sound of rejection, by distancing yourself or by calling on God to touch the heart of the people with abomination. Once among the children of God, abomination was reigning and God responded, Ezekiel 9:4, ÒAnd the LORD said to him, ÔGo through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.ÕÓ God knows that action speaks louder than words. What you condone you are also done in it. As a temple of God, you cannot be quiet with wrong doings; it will be an indication of you accepting it. God recognized those that are not quiet against abomination then, and He will still do the same today and tomorrow. To those who did not sigh or cry against abominations, there was no mark but judgment, Ezekiel 9:5, ÒTo others He said in my hearing, ÔGo after him through the city and kill; do not let your eye spare, nor have any pity. Utterly slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women; but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary. So they began with the elders who were before the temple.Ó The judgment of God respects only the obedient, it will not fail; it will only take GodÕs timing for it to be manifested. Ask God for the grace not to be a part or be the one that tolerates sin.
