Ezekiel 33 ~
Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
This Does not mean the man slain went to Heaven, but he was sent to hell, and the watchman will bear his part of his judgment in hell:whereas, the one slain still gets the full sentence, and the watchman gets a great sentence for not warning him.
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
So the Watchman gets a greater sentence in Hell; which is referred to as a deeper hell. The ones slain is judged appropriately even though they were not warned...they know better for when the time comes. It is a deep concept and a way as one is taught because if the watchman has to warn them, they are going to die if they keep it up, and they persist the rest is clear as it follows and explains. Just because you are NOT WARNED does not MEAN its a get out of jail free card of HELL...it means you will be judged on what you know...90% of the time these hide from the watchman, or keep it a secret from him they think...NOT just to the Wicked but the Righteous as well...
7 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
The Wicked~
8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
10 Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live?
11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
12 Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.
This is another concept misunderstood. The goodly man or the righteous one cannot deliver one of the wicked for them it is a self discipline choosing thing, such as an is the exact point the Righteous cannot drink a glass of water for the wicked and it redeem them and if the righteous think so, then their iniquity is in their deception to them for letting them believe it...thinking they are higher than they when they should be as Jesus Christ...to correct and inform them wrong is wrong and right is right and they don't mix...
The Righteous ~
13 When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.
This is Why Paul forsook all his Own understandings of Righteousness, for he understood this fact and how humbling would it be to an High Priest placed official, being sent to the Gentiles which in his mind were unruly dogs...and now he must spread and preach the Gospel of Christ...some people think that was easy...there was nothing easy about it...Except the overflowing and blessings and yearning of God's Love being poured upon him the more He did it...hence Romans 8...for preaching to unruly dogs with according to his upbringing the Gentiles were such...even that couldn't separate him from the Love of Jesus Christ...it is just too Awesome of HIS GLORY when It falls on you...He was still the authority and had more power...talking about going from a high life style to a low one...but a perfect righteous one...His fear of God was greater than all the world...the more I learn of him and God's plan through him and how Paul Obeyed the more I love Paul ...and his challenging writings...it surpasses the search or seeking if you please of a cross word...
14 Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
15 If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
16 None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
Then we have them which judge the matter and are mad at the prosperity of the wicked, even though they turn from their ways due to them they are still of wicked stigma among them...and until they learn to exceed the righteousness of the Pharisees which is mandatory for all per Jesus Christ they will let their righteous stigma be about them...for even the Law says in another way but the same meaning blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy...
17 Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.
18 When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby.
19 But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
20 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.
See, It is the Stigma of the Righteous for it is them saying the LORD's way is NOT equal NOT THE WICKED...they must learn to be as they profess a Godly people...which understand God's plan as Paul grasped As the Sun shined in the day and Reflected off the MOON...he saw and when their was no moon or a cloudy day of no sun, not so for there was still light to read by...He knew it was shining due to the revealing in 1 Corinthians 15...he was highly and vastly intelligent...and Realized he was one of John 16...but because for forsook his OWN righteous stigma He overcame...Hence, in a great way is 1 Corinthians 1:27-29 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence. ---as crazy as it is: ones OWN Righteousness is a thing of the their flesh not God... Then Below He reminds them all AGAIN, and still they continue which they had power to turn away...read below
21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten.
22 Now the hand of the Lord was upon me in the evening, afore he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.
23 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
24 Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.
25 Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land?
26 Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour's wife: and shall ye possess the land?
27 Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
28 For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through.
29 Then shall they know that I am the Lord, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed.
30 Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people STILL ARE TALKING against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the Lord.
31 And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.
32 AND, LO, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but THEY DO THEM NOT.
SO they are held accountable see???
33 And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
Now You understand further His Glory in deep understanding; Shaming the RIGHTEOUS of their own conceits which is a work of the flesh; heretofore, is the appearance of them not wicked so they look not on their heart and the deeper cause of the Royal Law.
I mean, Paul was sooo powerful in God: Looked at King Agrippa and said, "I think myself Happy"...as a Prinsoner He says this which to a king would be and could be considered a Mock...and nothing happened: except being set free. Think about it. It is in Acts...it is as Psalm 19:14 in perfection...for his actions were the fruit of Psalm 19:14.
He was put into prison for Preaching the Name of Jesus Christ by the Jews and Pharisees which ruled the Jews with the King but Not King Agrippa he was a gentile not a jew...but with in accordance with the Jews...such as Pilot would not crucify Jesus Christ, but washed his hands...and he was a Gentile for the Gentiles knew He was the Messiah before the Jews...crazy but true...IS WHY JESUS Christ shames their righteousness, because they were blind...
So to the Jew, which said, "that is not fair"... Indeed you just said in innocence...the Lord's way is NOT equal...but Not like them, for they were angry, so now it is NOT the JEWS and the Gentiles as it were...but it is As the Righteous and the Wicked...but the Jews regardless have blessings due to God's covenant with them, but His Word says, "Bless all the fruit of they womb" of His Mother, which is Jesus Christ's begotten and adopted children, through Jesus Christ, Not her...her name does not save at all...only JESUS CHRIST does...and she proves it, being she is there at the day of Pentecost seeking the fullness of the Holy Ghost, though she had it. She witnessed it being poured upon them all at once, including herself at the same time, and was that day Baptized in the Jesus Christ in the Water which was by the Upper Room...See?
First of All, I appreciate your study and ponders, Indeed, I know this...He is the God of ISRAEL...and there is ONLY ONE LORD...and yall are so blessed by Business exploits and Many works and stopping great things for you are involved in city laws, and the country's, and You make a difference...something I found to be lacking and not being involved as it is required as Paul stated in many places...I have only begun to understand the depth of Apostle Paul who was Saul as an High Priest...It is a Great Thing His ways, and they are perfect...No I am not as Rechab...no where near, one raised among a Pentecostals...and there had to be more, and they preached against things which were not biblical due to their lack of study and ignorance...far worse than the Pharisee's for they knew the Law, these didn't they say, but we live under grace as though that forsakes the Law, but PAUL in no wise forsook the Law, but proved it to the perfect place of perfect LOVE...which and why it is called the Royal Law.
