Ezekiel’s prophetic vision continues, with God calling men with deadly weapons (battle-axes to be precise) to the temple, and one with a tunic and an inkhorn (I’m guessing that’s what they used to write with). He tells the man with the inkhorn to go and mark some people in Jerusalem, and the men with battle-axes are to follow him and kill everyone he doesn’t mark. I find it interesting those people that the tunic-man was to mark were these:
‘and the LORD said to him, "Go 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."’ (Ezekiel 9:4)
Those who sigh and cry over the abominations done. Not the people who don’t do them. The people who hate the very fact that they are done. Are we like that? Do these things affect us?
