Today is the sixth day of November.

Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I am Brian.

It is wonderful to be here with you today as we gather yet again around the global campfire

and continue our grand journey through the scriptures this

year. I'm grateful that we have this place to be and that we are here now. And so let's, let's take

that next step forward, which will lead us back to where we left off.

That happens to be the book of Ezekiel at this point.

Today, chapter 14, verse 12 through 16, verse 41.

Okay. verse 41. The word of the Lord came to me.

Son of man, when a land sins against me by adding one act of infidelity to another

so that I stretch out my hand against it

to cut off its bread supply, to send famine against it,

and to cut off from man and beast from it.

Even if these three men were in its midst,

Noah, Daniel, and Job. By their righteousness, they would save only their

own lives, declares the Lord God. If I cause wild animals to pass through the land and they

rob it of its children so that it becomes desolate and no one can pass through because of the wild

animals, and if these three men were in its midst as I live, says the Lord God, they would not

save either their sons or their daughters. They alone would be saved, but the land would be devastated.

Or if I bring a sword upon that land and say,

A sword shall pass through the land,

and I cut off from it a man and beast.
