0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:07.0 | God's words to Ezekiel today come down pretty strong. He doesn't sugarcoat these two chapters. |
0:18.0 | Chapter 21 opens with a prophecy about God drawing a sword against the land of Israel. |
0:22.7 | And it's especially unsettling because in verse 4 he says he will cut off both righteous and wicked. |
0:28.4 | The righteous too? Why's that? |
0:30.8 | We won't find out until the end of today's reading, so put a pin in this, we'll come back to it. |
0:35.7 | Next God tells Ezekiel to mourn and grieve over what's happening and to spread the word about it to everyone who asks. |

1:23.8 | God has promised to judge him and he won't withhold it. |
1:26.7 | We read about his downfall in Jeremiah 52, and it was a ruin, ruin, rumin, indeed. Then God tells the Ammonites they aren't off the hook. |
