🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem 🇮🇱(9/20/25)[Prayer]





Water, Rivers, and Streams in the Bible
Ezekiel 24:1-6

Jerusalem as a Cooking Pot

24 In the ninth year, in the tenth month on the tenth day, the word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, record this date, this very date, because the king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem this very day. 3 Tell this rebellious people a parable and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“‘Put on the cooking pot; put it on
    and pour water into it.

4  Put into it the pieces of meat,
    all the choice pieces—the leg and the shoulder.
Fill it with the best of these bones;
5      take the pick of the flock.
Pile wood beneath it for the bones;
    bring it to a boil
    and cook the bones in it.
6 “‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“‘Woe to the city of bloodshed,
    to the pot now encrusted,
    whose deposit will not go away!
Take the meat out piece by piece
    in whatever order it comes.

There is a popular story that is often used by preachers when describing Social Change. This concerns a frog that is in a pan of water. The story goes that a frog will immediately jump out if the water is boiling, but it won't sense the danger if cold water is gradually heated up to the fatal temperature. Thus, the frog is boiled alive without realizing what is going on.

Preachers use this analogy to combat complacency in their congregations. I don't even know if the illustration is scientifically accurate, but it shows what happens when we are consumed by sin, little by little. An Enormous, egregious evil is obvious. We recoil from that. But the little things like gossip, slander, complaining, lying, cheating, and secret sins that nobody else knows about...those are like the water heating up to boiling temperature without us even realizing it.

Ezekiel's method of Prophecy was a Dramatic Episode of "Show and Tell". He did things like burying a silk sash in a riverbank to show how something beautiful can be ruined by sin. That was just one of his demonstrations. In this "demonstration", Ezekiel gets a pot of water boiling, and he cooks meat down to the bones. Then he burns the bones so the pot is encrusted and ruined. He must have drawn quite a crowd for this bit of street theater.

After Ezekiel ruined the meat and the pot he cooked it in, he explained that it was a picture of the coming Siege of Jerusalem. If he had just blown up the pot in the street, he would have made a lot of noise, but he wouldn't have told the story. It was going to be a long siege, the city would consume all the food and then starve, and, finally, the City would be destroyed. Like the Frog in the gradually boiling water, the people would be clueless until they were well into their own destruction.

Next time a preacher uses that analogy, be aware that Ezekiel already did it 2500 years ago.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

”Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.” (Hosea 6:3 NIV)

Amen !!! <><

Psalm 6

To the leader: with stringed instruments; according to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
1 O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger,
or discipline me in your wrath.
2 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;
O Lord, heal me, for my bones are shaking with terror.
3 My soul also is struck with terror,
while you, O Lord—how long?

4 Turn, O Lord, save my life;
deliver me for the sake of your steadfast love.
5 For in death there is no remembrance of you;
in Sheol who can give you praise?

6 I am weary with my moaning;
every night I flood my bed with tears;
I drench my couch with my weeping.
7 My eyes waste away because of grief;
they grow weak because of all my foes.

8 Depart from me, all you workers of evil,
for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.
9 The Lord has heard my supplication;
the Lord accepts my prayer.
10 All my enemies shall be ashamed and struck with terror;
they shall turn back, and in a moment be put to shame.

Praying for Israel and Jerusalem and for Peace, and praying that all those working to do evil against Israel and working to divide the Land are rebuked by the Lord and let their wickedness be made visible to all and let their attempts to do evil come to nothing.

Amen.
