Ezekiel and the Revelation of the 13 Scrolls – Scroll 2 Part 1

Scroll Two: 20:1 – 23:49. Theme: more rebellions of Israel, Judah & Jerusalem with opportunity for restoration. Ezekiel 20:1 And it came to pass in the  seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the zechanim of Yisrael came to inquire of vuvh, and sat before me. The seventh year from the first year of the captivity of King Jehoiachin, 599 BCE (2 Ki 24:15). Ezekiel 20:2 Then came the word of vuvh to me, saying, 3 Ben-adam, speak to the zechanim of Yisrael, and say to them, This says the Master vuvh; Have you come to seek Me? As I live, says the Master vuvh, I will not be sought by you. Prophetically here, many will come to seek יהוה, but he will not be sought by them….He will not be sought by them through the avenues which they have chosen to view Him. The context of the next twenty verses is paramount to us understanding the huge prophetic ramifications of Yahusha and the Book of the Covenant reality that has dawned upon this age. Ezekiel 20:4-5   4 Will you judge them, Ben-adam, will you judge them? Make them to know the abominations of their ahvot: 5 And say to them, This says the Master vuvh; In the day when I chose Yisrael, and lifted up My hand to the zera of Beit Yaakov, and made Myself known to them in the land of Mitzrayim, when I lifted up My hand to them, saying, I am vuvh your Elohim; Ezekiel 20:6-13    6 In the day that I lifted up My hand to them, to bring them out of the land of Mitzrayim into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the tifereth of all lands: 7 Then said I to them, Cast away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Mitzrayim: I am vuvh your Elohim. 8 But they rebelled against Me, and would not listen to Me: they did not cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Mitzrayim: then I said, I will pour out My anger upon them to accomplish My anger against them in the midst of the land of Mitzrayim. 9 But I acted for My Name’s sake, that it should not be defiled before the gentiles, among whom they were, in whose sight I made Myself known to them, in bringing them out of the land of Mitzrayim. 10 Therefore I caused them to go out of the land of Mitzrayim, and brought them into the wilderness. 11 And I gave them My chukim, and taught them My mishpatim, which if a man does; he shall even live in them. 12 Moreover also I gave them My Shabbats, to be an ot between Me and them, that they might know that I am vuvh that sets them apart. 13 But Beit Yisrael rebelled against Me in the wilderness: they had their halacha not in My chukim, and they despised My mishpatim, which if a man does, he shall even live in them; and My Shabbats they greatly defiled: then I said, I would pour out My anger upon them in the wilderness, to consume them. Ezekiel 20:14 But I did act for My Name’s sake, that it should not be defiled before the gentiles, in whose sight I brought them out. Ezekiel 20:15 Yet also I lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the tifereth of all lands; Ezekiel 20:16 Because they despised My mishpatim, and they did not have their halacha in My chukim, but defiled My Shabbats: for their lev went after their idols. Ezekiel 20:17 Nevertheless My eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness. Ezekiel 20:18-21    18 But I said to their children in the wilderness, Do not have your halacha in the chukim of your ahvot, neither observe their rulings, nor defile yourselves with their idols: 19 I am vuvh your Elohim; have your halacha in My chukim, and keep My mishpatim, and do them; 20 And set-apart My Shabbats; and they shall be an ot between Me and you, that you may know that I am vuvh your Elohim. 21 Notwithstanding the children rebelled against Me: they had not their halacha in My chukim, neither kept My
