What was the meaning of what Ezekiel did? (rr p. 63 par. 6).<\/h3><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s1 ctj-unit-weekly_answer_01 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Answer 1:<\/strong> Ezekiel was prophetically acting out the destruction of Jerusalem and the suffering of its inhabitants. What was unique was that he played two roles at the same time: on the one hand, he represented what Jehovah would do when executing his judgment; on the other hand, he represented what the Jews would suffer. So this was not simply strange behavior. Each action was part of a dramatization announcing an expression of Jehovah\u2019s righteous indignation.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s1 ctj-unit-weekly_answer_02 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Answer 2:<\/strong> The hand with which Ezekiel held the sword symbolized Jehovah\u2019s hand. It represented the judgment that he would execute against Jerusalem by means of the Babylonian army. Thus, the scene did not merely announce a military attack. It showed that Jehovah would use that army to carry out his judgment. This detail explains the prophet\u2019s first role: with the sword in his hand, he represented what Jehovah would do.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s1 ctj-unit-weekly_answer_03 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Answer 3:<\/strong> By shaving his head and beard, Ezekiel represented what would happen to the Jews: they would be attacked and there would be great slaughter. This aspect of the dramatization showed the people\u2019s suffering, not just the destruction of a city. Whereas the hand holding the sword represented the execution of Jehovah\u2019s judgment, the shaving illustrated the terrible consequences that judgment would have for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s1 ctj-unit-weekly_answer_04 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Answer 4:<\/strong> Weighing the cut hair and dividing it into portions had an important meaning. It indicated that Jehovah\u2019s judgment would not be carried out in an uncontrolled or improvised way. It would be meticulous and complete. The scales and the portions showed precision in what Jehovah had determined. Thus, although the dramatization announced terrible destruction, it did not describe an uncontrolled reaction, but the execution of a carefully determined judgment against Jerusalem.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s1 ctj-unit-weekly_answer_05 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Answer 5:<\/strong> The three portions of hair showed different aspects of the calamity. Ezekiel was to burn one part, strike another with the sword, and scatter the last one to the wind. The same chapter explains that a third of the population would die from pestilence or famine, another third would fall by the sword, and the last third would be scattered and pursued. In this way, the dramatization specifically announced how the inhabitants of Jerusalem would suffer.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading ctj-editorial-section ctj-pearls-section\">What spiritual gems have you found in this week\u2019s Bible reading?<\/h2><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading ctj-editorial-section ctj-pearls-section\">Spiritual gems for EZEKIEL 5<\/h2><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-eze05_pearl01_scripture ctj-bible-bible_001 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 5:1<\/strong> \u2014 <em>\u201cAs for you, son of man, take a sharp sword for yourself to use as a barber\u2019s razor. Shave your head and your beard, and then take scales to weigh and divide the hair into portions.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 1:<\/strong> Ezekiel 5:1 shows that Jehovah commanded that the hair be weighed and carefully divided. According to the explanation of the dramatization, his judgment would be meticulous, not uncontrolled. This helps me trust in his justice. Although one of his judgments may impress me, I should not measure it by the impulsive reactions that we humans sometimes have.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-eze05_pearl02_scripture ctj-bible-bible_002 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 5:2<\/strong> \u2014 <em>You will burn a third of it in the fire inside the city when the days of the siege are completed. Then you will take another third and strike it with the sword all around the city, and the last third you will scatter to the wind, and I will draw a sword to chase after them.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 2:<\/strong> In Ezekiel 5:2, the portion of hair scattered to the wind was not beyond the reach of the judgment. Jehovah announced that a sword would pursue those whom it represented. This reminds me that moving away from a place does not in itself solve a spiritual problem. If I need to correct something, what matters is not changing my surroundings so that others will not notice, but facing the problem honestly and making the necessary changes.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-eze05_pearl03_scripture ctj-bible-bible_005 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 5:5<\/strong> \u2014 <em>\u201cThis is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: \u2018This is Jerusalem. I have set her in the middle of the nations, with lands all around her.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 3:<\/strong> Ezekiel 5:5 highlights that Jehovah had placed Jerusalem in the midst of other nations. However, as the rest of the chapter shows, that position did not protect her when she rebelled against him. It teaches me that it is not enough to have received privileges or to have a good record. What matters is how I respond now to what Jehovah has given me. I want to value my opportunities to serve him without taking his approval for granted.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-eze05_pearl04_scripture ctj-bible-bible_006 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 5:6<\/strong> \u2014 <em>But she has rebelled against my judicial decisions and my statutes, acting more wickedly than the nations and the lands all around her. For they have rejected my judicial decisions, and they did not walk in my statutes.\u2019<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 4:<\/strong> Ezekiel 5:6 says that the inhabitants of Jerusalem rejected Jehovah\u2019s judicial decisions and did not follow his statutes. Their problem was not simply that they did not know what he asked; they refused to obey him. This motivates me to study with a question in mind: What do I need to put into practice? I could know a teaching well and still resist applying it. The true benefit of Bible knowledge is seen in the decisions I make.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-eze05_pearl05_scripture ctj-bible-bible_007 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 5:7<\/strong> \u2014 <em>\u201cTherefore this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: \u2018Because you were more troublesome than the nations all around you and you did not walk in my statutes or carry out my judicial decisions but, instead, you followed the judicial decisions of the nations all around you,<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 5:<\/strong> At Ezekiel 5:7, Jehovah pointed out that his people had followed the decisions of the surrounding nations instead of his. I see here the danger of allowing the environment to decide for me what is right or wrong. The fact that a conduct is common does not mean that Jehovah approves of it. When choosing entertainment, doing business, or resolving a disagreement, I need to consult his principles, not merely think that everyone acts that way.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-eze05_pearl06_scripture ctj-bible-bible_008 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 5:8<\/strong> \u2014 <em>this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: \u201cHere I am against you, O city, and I myself will execute judgment in your midst before the eyes of the nations.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 6:<\/strong> Ezekiel 5:8 shows that Jehovah would execute his judgment against Jerusalem before the other nations. He would not overlook her wickedness simply because she was the city of his people. This helps me appreciate that belonging to Jehovah\u2019s people involves responsibility, not permission to do wrong. In the congregation, I want to avoid excusing wrong conduct because of friendship or affinity. My loyalty to Jehovah must come above my personal preferences.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-eze05_pearl07_scripture ctj-bible-bible_009 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 5:9<\/strong> \u2014 <em>I will do in you what I have never done before, and the likes of which I will not do again, because of all your detestable practices.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 7:<\/strong> Ezekiel 5:9 connects the seriousness of the judgment with Jerusalem\u2019s detestable practices. It does not present punishment without cause, but a response to very serious wickedness. This makes me think about how I react when the Bible condemns a certain conduct. Instead of minimizing it because others consider it normal, I want to learn to view it as Jehovah does. That will prevent familiarity with what is bad from weakening my conscience.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-eze05_pearl08_scripture ctj-bible-bible_011 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 5:11<\/strong> \u2014 <em>\u201c\u2018Therefore as surely as I am alive,\u2019 declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, \u2018because it was my sanctuary that you defiled with all your disgusting idols and with all your detestable practices, I will also reject you; my eye will not feel sorry, and I will show no compassion.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 8:<\/strong> At Ezekiel 5:11, Jehovah denounced the fact that they had defiled his sanctuary with idols and detestable practices. Being in a place dedicated to him did not make those practices acceptable. This teaches me that pure worship cannot be mixed with things Jehovah rejects. When evaluating a religious custom, it is not enough for it to seem beautiful or have sentimental value. I need to check whether it agrees with what he has revealed in his Word.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-eze05_pearl09_scripture ctj-bible-bible_013 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 5:13<\/strong> \u2014 <em>Then my anger will come to an end, and my wrath against them will subside, and I will be satisfied. And they will have to know that I, Jehovah, have spoken in my insistence on exclusive devotion, when I have finished unleashing my wrath against them.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 9:<\/strong> Ezekiel 5:13 explains that Jehovah insists on receiving exclusive devotion. He did not expect to occupy merely one place among other gods or religious interests. This invites me to examine what place he has in my life. I do not want my worship to be reduced to a few activities while other things govern my decisions. I can show him exclusive devotion when his desires have priority, even if obeying him requires me to give up something that attracts me or is convenient.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-eze05_pearl10_scripture ctj-bible-bible_014 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 5:14<\/strong> \u2014 <em>\u201c\u2018I will make you a devastated place and an object of reproach among the surrounding nations and in the eyes of everyone passing by.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 10:<\/strong> Ezekiel 5:14 announces that Jerusalem would become a devastated place and an object of reproach. It is sobering to think that a city of such importance could lose what seemed to give it security. This reminds me how fragile it is to place all my trust in visible things, such as possessions or social position. Without assuming that every loss is a punishment from Jehovah, this warning moves me to value my relationship with him more than material things.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-eze05_pearl11_scripture ctj-bible-bible_015 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 5:15<\/strong> \u2014 <em>You will become an object of reproach and scorn, a warning example and a horror to the nations around you, when I execute judgment on you in anger and in wrath and with furious punishments. I, Jehovah, have spoken.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 11:<\/strong> Ezekiel 5:15 says that what happened to Jerusalem would serve as a warning. This shows that we can learn by observing the consequences of wrong decisions without having to repeat them. When I read a Bible account of disobedience, I want to avoid thinking only about how badly others acted. It is better to ask myself whether there is a similar attitude that I need to correct. Taking a warning to heart in time can help me make wiser decisions and avoid unnecessary suffering.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-eze05_pearl12_scripture ctj-bible-bible_016 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 5:16<\/strong> \u2014 <em>\u201c\u2018I will send against them the deadly arrows of famine to destroy them. The arrows that I send will bring you to ruin. I will make the famine worse for you by cutting off your food supply.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 12:<\/strong> Ezekiel 5:16 describes how serious it would be to lose the food supply during that judgment. When I read it, I think about how easy it is to take basic necessities for granted when they are available. This passage moves me to be grateful for food and sensitive to those who go hungry. It does not mean that their difficulties are a punishment from Jehovah. Rather, remembering how painful scarcity is can help me waste less and be more generous.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading ctj-editorial-section ctj-pearls-section\">Spiritual gems for EZEKIEL 6<\/h2><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-eze06_pearl01_scripture ctj-bible-bible_018 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 6:1<\/strong> \u2014 <em>The word of Jehovah again came to me, saying:<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 1:<\/strong> Ezekiel 6:1 identifies Jehovah as the source of the prophet\u2019s message. Ezekiel was not expressing a personal opinion. This reminds me that when participating in the ministry, I must distinguish between what the Bible teaches and my own ideas. My goal is not to impress others with original explanations, but to faithfully convey what Jehovah has revealed.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-eze06_pearl02_scripture ctj-bible-bible_019 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 6:2<\/strong> \u2014 <em>\u201cSon of man, turn your face toward the mountains of Israel and prophesy against them.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 2:<\/strong> At Ezekiel 6:2, Jehovah assigned the prophet to announce a message against the mountains of Israel. It was not a pleasant message, but it was part of his commission. This teaches me that faithfully communicating God\u2019s Word may require courage. In the ministry, I do not want to avoid a teaching simply because it may be difficult to accept. At the same time, I can explain it tactfully and respectfully, without adding harshness to what the Bible says.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-eze06_pearl03_scripture ctj-bible-bible_020 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 6:3<\/strong> \u2014 <em>You must say, \u2018O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah: This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says to the mountains, to the hills, to the streams, and to the valleys: \u201cLook! I will bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 3:<\/strong> Ezekiel 6:3 mentions mountains, hills, streams, and valleys where Jehovah would destroy the high places. The natural surroundings did not make the worship practiced there acceptable. This reminds me that a beautiful landscape or a deeply emotional experience does not by itself prove that a religious practice pleases God. When speaking with someone about their beliefs, I can respect their feelings while helping them examine what the Bible teaches.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-eze06_pearl04_scripture ctj-bible-bible_021 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 6:4<\/strong> \u2014 <em>Your altars will be demolished, your incense stands will be broken, and I will throw your slain ones down before your disgusting idols.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 4:<\/strong> Ezekiel 6:4 presents a scene that makes clear the uselessness of idols: their worshippers would die in front of them, and their altars would be destroyed. Those images could not protect them. This gem helps me respectfully explain that spiritual trust should not be placed in religious objects. In the ministry, I can focus on helping the person come to know Jehovah and trust in him, rather than making fun of something that is important to that person.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-eze06_pearl05_scripture ctj-bible-bible_023 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 6:6<\/strong> \u2014 <em>In all the places where you dwell, the cities will be devastated and the high places will be demolished and will lie devastated. Your altars will be demolished and shattered, your disgusting idols will perish, your incense stands will be cut down, and your works will be wiped out.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 5:<\/strong> Ezekiel 6:6 announces the removal of altars, idols, and other works related to false worship. It is clear that Jehovah did not approve of preserving that worship with minor changes. As a personal application, this encourages me to be decisive if I discover something incompatible with pure worship. I do not want to keep it because of attachment or because of the effort it took to obtain it. What matters is not how highly I value an object or practice, but how Jehovah views it.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-eze06_pearl06_scripture ctj-bible-bible_024 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 6:7<\/strong> \u2014 <em>And those slain will fall in your midst, and you will have to know that I am Jehovah.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 6:<\/strong> Ezekiel 6:7 shows that when the judgment was carried out, the Israelites would have to know who Jehovah was. It was not merely a matter of knowing his name, but of recognizing his authority and the seriousness of his words. This makes me ask how I show that I know Jehovah. Pronouncing his name is important, but I must also let his standards influence my decisions. I want to recognize his authority willingly, not wait to suffer the consequences of disobedience.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-eze06_pearl07_scripture ctj-bible-bible_025 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 6:8<\/strong> \u2014 <em>\u201c\u2018\u201cBut I will leave a remnant, for some of you will escape the sword among the nations when you are scattered throughout the lands.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 7:<\/strong> In the midst of such a serious prophecy, Ezekiel 6:8 announces that Jehovah would leave a remnant. Some would escape the sword. This detail helps me read the account with balance: I should not overlook the seriousness of the judgment, but neither should I overlook Jehovah\u2019s decision to preserve survivors. When studying difficult passages, I want to pay attention to every detail. In this way, I avoid forming an incomplete picture of Jehovah based only on the aspects that impress me most.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-eze06_pearl08_scripture ctj-bible-bible_026 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 6:9<\/strong> \u2014 <em>And those who escape will remember me among the nations where they are taken captive. They will realize that I was brokenhearted over their unfaithful heart that turned away from me and at their eyes that are lusting after their disgusting idols. They will be ashamed of and loathe all the evil and detestable things they have done.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 8:<\/strong> Ezekiel 6:9 moves me because Jehovah explains that his people\u2019s unfaithfulness caused him great pain. Sin was not merely a failure to keep a rule; it damaged their relationship with him. The survivors would come to hate what they had done. This helps me understand that repentance involves more than regretting the consequences. I need to think about how my conduct affects Jehovah and learn to reject what is bad because I value my friendship with him.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-eze06_pearl09_scripture ctj-bible-bible_027 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 6:10<\/strong> \u2014 <em>They will have to know that I am Jehovah and that my threats to bring this calamity on them were not empty.\u201d\u2019<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 9:<\/strong> Ezekiel 6:10 emphasizes that Jehovah\u2019s warnings were not empty words. What he had announced would come true. This motivates me to take Bible counsel seriously even when the consequences of ignoring it are not immediate. At times, someone might think that nothing is happening and keep postponing a change. But the absence of immediate consequences does not turn a bad decision into a good one. It is wiser to listen to Jehovah and act without delay.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-eze06_pearl10_scripture ctj-bible-bible_028 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 6:11<\/strong> \u2014 <em>\u201cThis is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: \u2018Clap your hands and stamp your foot and bemoan all the evil and detestable things done by the house of Israel, for they will fall by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 10:<\/strong> At Ezekiel 6:11, Jehovah commanded the prophet to mourn over the bad and detestable things Israel had done. He was not to react with indifference to that conduct. This makes me think about how I respond when I hear about a serious sin. I should not treat it as entertainment or as a subject for morbid conversation. A spiritual attitude moves me to feel sadness over the harm caused and to examine how I can remain faithful to Jehovah.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-eze06_pearl11_scripture ctj-bible-bible_030 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 6:13<\/strong> \u2014 <em>And you will have to know that I am Jehovah, when their slain lie among their disgusting idols, all around their altars, on every high hill, on all the mountaintops, under every luxuriant tree, and under the branches of big trees where they have made fragrant offerings to appease all their disgusting idols.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 11:<\/strong> Ezekiel 6:13 describes many places where the Israelites made offerings to their idols. There was religious activity on hills, mountains, and under luxuriant trees, but that abundance did not mean that they had Jehovah\u2019s approval. It teaches me that the quantity of religious acts does not replace obedience. When examining my worship, I do not want to focus only on how much I do. I also need to ask whether I do it as Jehovah requests and with a sincere desire to please him.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-eze06_pearl12_scripture ctj-bible-bible_031 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 6:14<\/strong> \u2014 <em>I will stretch out my hand against them and make the land desolate, and all their dwelling places will become more desolate than the wilderness near Diblah.

Unfaithfulness to Jehovah would not affect only the places where they practiced idolatry; its consequences would reach the life of the nation. This reminds me that I cannot separate my worship from the rest of my conduct. What I do at home, at work, or when I am alone also matters. I want my obedience to Jehovah to be present in every aspect of my life.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Answers and comments from Spiritual Gems for the week of December 14-20,
