January 10, 2013 – Ezekiel 15 – 16:29

This is very graphic imagery used to describe Israel as the prostitute.  God saw them struggling as a child and saved them.  Then again He sees them struggling when they are older and saves them.  But this time He doesn’t just save them, but makes them beautiful, the envy of all nations.  They use the beauty and superiority to set out on their own and leave God behind.  The prostitute themselves out to the other nations, rely on the other nations, seek them for their aid instead of relying on God.  For this, they will lose what God has given them so that they will know God is God.
