Eze 11:12 and you shall know that I am the LORD. For you have not walked in my statutes, nor obeyed my rules, but have acted according to the rules of the nations that are around you."
In essence these rules were not the laws that the Israelites had to obey. But they were rules on living and how they would worship that were the main downfall for the people's of the land.
This is true of today. We don't have to live by the rules of the land to be successful. To have a big house or a fast car. But that is the struggle of today to live obviously within the law, but to not allow the lifestyles of the world to become our lifestyles.
All of this distruction, this punishment, is so that the people of Israel would know that He is the Lord. How easy it is to carried away in our sins, our lifestyles and soon we start to believe that we in fact our God. Yet God in His love gives His correction that we become humbled and brought back to reality to know that He is the Lord. Let there be no mistake about it. You are God. Thank you for your correction and revealing of my sin. May I be brought back to submit to you and to dependance upon your holy spirit that I may be in the right reality that you are God above any construct of myself or this world. Amen.
