The Verse Chain Game

[shalag]

Though the peak is on chapter 12 (actually 5 times), I find interesting that the first occurrence of "rebellious house" is in chapter 2 - Bet - the House. The "rebellious house" idea in Ezekiel seems to echo the idea of rebellion that is very strong is Numbers when the people of Israel rebelled against the Lord. And the peak of Israel's rebellion takes place on Book 12, 2 Kings!

Summing up, "Rebellious House" is interweaved with different Spokes on the Inner Cycle of Ezekiel and the Bible Wheel:

• Spoke 2: First occurrence in Ezekiel 2;
• Spoke 12: Peak of Israel's rebellion in 2 Kings aligned with peak of the distribution of "rebellious house" in Ezekiel 12;
• Spoke 4: Rebellion as a work of the flesh highlighted in both Numbers and Ezekiel on Spoke 4 of the Bible Wheel (BW book pg. 175-176).

Back to the chain:



Isaiah 6:5,10 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. (...) Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.

Book 12 - the essence of the 'heart'!

1Kings 1:20 [11 1 20]
And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.

2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity* that is in Christ.

Our reasonable service - to transform our mind to the mind of Christ!

This forms a powerful link form Spoke 3 of the Bible Wheel to Chapter 3 of Genesis:

KJV Genesis 3:13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

Lamentations 2:20 [spoke 3]
Behold, O LORD, and consider to who thou has done this, Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sancturary of the Lord?

This makes one think about Genesis 3 in a more thoughtful manner.

Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

Thanks be to God! For having justified us by the faith of Jesus Christ, because we believe in Him

Romans 9:31-33 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. 32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; 33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

That's the Gospel! It has always been righteousness through faith. The Jews were never "saved" or "made right with God" by anything but faith.
