Why did Jehovah include \u201cthe house of Israel\u201d in his condemnation? (it \u201cChronology\u201d par. 104).<\/h3><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s1 ctj-unit-semanal_01 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Answer 1:<\/strong> Jehovah included the house of Israel because the fall of the northern kingdom did not mean that he had stopped taking its inhabitants into account. Samaria had fallen in 740 B.C.E., but Jehovah continued to include the exiled Israelites in the messages of his prophets long afterward. So his condemnation was not limited to Judah; it also included the Israelites of the former northern kingdom.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s1 ctj-unit-semanal_02 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Answer 2:<\/strong> The explanation highlights that the interests of the Israelites of the northern kingdom were still represented in Jerusalem. Although the two kingdoms had been separated and Samaria had already been conquered, Jerusalem continued to be important to the entire nation. Therefore, when Jehovah announced his judgment against that city, he was not dealing only with Judah. The destruction of Jerusalem in 607 B.C.E. expressed his judgment against the entire nation of Israel.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s1 ctj-unit-semanal_03 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Answer 3:<\/strong> One detail that helps us understand this inclusion is that part of the population of the northern kingdom may have fled to the southern kingdom before the Assyrian advance. Thus, the fall of Samaria would not have eliminated the presence of northerners in Judah. The explanation presents this migration as a possibility, not as a certainty. The main point remains that Jehovah continued to take those Israelites into account after their kingdom disappeared.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s1 ctj-unit-semanal_04 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Answer 4:<\/strong> The chronology helps us see the national scope of the condemnation. From the division of the kingdom in 997 B.C.E. until the fall of Jerusalem in 607 B.C.E., 390 years passed. Within that period, Samaria fell in 740 B.C.E. However, the judgment that culminated in Jerusalem\u2019s fall did not affect only the kingdom that still existed. It also included the house of Israel, whom Jehovah continued to mention through his prophets.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-labeled-answer ctj-editorial-part-s1 ctj-unit-semanal_05 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Answer 5:<\/strong> The condemnation included Israel because what would happen in Jerusalem would have consequences for the entire nation. When the city fell, national hopes vanished, not just those of the inhabitants of Judah. The explanation points out one exception: the few who maintained true faith. Thus, the mention of Israel at Ezekiel 9:9 reflects the scope of that judgment, which extended beyond the borders of the former kingdom of Judah.<\/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 9<\/h2><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-eze09_01_texto ctj-bible-bible_001 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 9:1<\/strong> \u2014 <em>He then called out in my ears with a loud voice, saying: \u201cSummon those who will bring punishment on the city, each one with his weapon for destruction in his hand!\u201d<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 1:<\/strong> Ezekiel 9:1 shows that Jehovah would not allow Jerusalem\u2019s wickedness to continue indefinitely. The order to punish the city reminds us that he is not indifferent to the suffering caused by wickedness. When we see injustices, we can trust in his justice without feeding desires for revenge or thinking that each person should take justice into his own hands.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-eze09_02_texto ctj-bible-bible_002 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 9:2<\/strong> \u2014 <em>I saw six men coming from the direction of the upper gate that faces north, each with his weapon for smashing in his hand; and there was one man among them clothed in linen, with a secretary\u2019s inkhorn at his waist, and they came in and stood beside the copper altar.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 2:<\/strong> Ezekiel 9:2 highlights a contrast: some men carry weapons, while another carries an inkhorn. That detail prepares the reader to understand that not everyone in the vision would receive the same treatment. Jehovah does not view people as an undifferentiated mass. This encourages me to avoid generalizations when speaking about those who live in a bad environment. We should not assume that everyone thinks alike or has the same attitude.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-eze09_03_texto ctj-bible-bible_003 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 9:3<\/strong> \u2014 <em>Then the glory of the God of Israel rose from where it had rested above the cherubs and moved to the threshold of the doorway of the house, and he began calling out to the man who was clothed in linen, at whose waist was the secretary\u2019s inkhorn.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 3:<\/strong> Ezekiel 9:3 shows that it is Jehovah who calls the man with the inkhorn and directs what is about to happen. The initiative does not come from the messenger himself. This reminds me of the importance of respecting Jehovah\u2019s direction in our service. Enthusiasm is valuable, but it does not replace obedience. Before deciding how to act, it is wise to make sure that what we want to do agrees with Bible instructions, and not merely with our preferences.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-eze09_04_texto ctj-bible-bible_004 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 9:4<\/strong> \u2014 <em>Jehovah said to him: \u201cGo through the city, through Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who are sighing and groaning over all the detestable things that are being done in the city.\u201d<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 4:<\/strong> Ezekiel 9:4 highlights that some people were sighing and groaning over the detestable things being done in Jerusalem. They had not become accustomed to viewing them as normal. This makes me think about how I react to violence or immorality that appears in entertainment. It is not enough to say that I would not do such things. I also need to guard my feelings so that repeated exposure does not eventually weaken my rejection of what Jehovah considers bad.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-eze09_05_texto ctj-bible-bible_005 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 9:5<\/strong> \u2014 <em>And to the others he said in my hearing: \u201cGo through the city after him and strike. Do not let your eye feel sorry, and do not feel any compassion.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 5:<\/strong> Ezekiel 9:5 contains a very severe command. In the context, Jehovah had already assessed the seriousness of the wickedness and had arranged for those who rejected it to be distinguished. Therefore, it would not be right to judge his decision as if he were unaware of the circumstances. This account teaches me to approach difficult Bible passages with humility, examining the context before drawing conclusions and recognizing that Jehovah knows far more than we do.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-eze09_06_texto ctj-bible-bible_006 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 9:6<\/strong> \u2014 <em>Old man, young man, virgin, little child, and women you should kill offcompletely. But do not go near to any man on whom there is the mark. You should start from my sanctuary.\u201d So they started with the elders who were in front of the house.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 6:<\/strong> Ezekiel 9:6 indicates that the judgment began at the sanctuary and with the elders who were in front of the temple. Being in a place connected with worship did not exempt them from being accountable. The lesson for me is that no responsibility in the congregation takes the place of faithful conduct. What matters is not the position others see me occupying, but the kind of person I am and whether my daily decisions please Jehovah.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-eze09_07_texto ctj-bible-bible_007 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 9:7<\/strong> \u2014 <em>Then he said to them: \u201cDefile the house and fill the courtyards with the slain. Go!\u201d So they went out and struck down people in the city.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 7:<\/strong> Ezekiel 9:7 shows that not even the temple would be exempt from the consequences of the people\u2019s wickedness. The building could not compensate for the corruption of those who used it. This reminds me that worship is not limited to the place where we meet or to the activities in which we participate. It must also influence how we treat our family, how we work, and what we do in private. Our life must agree with what we profess.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-eze09_08_texto ctj-bible-bible_008 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 9:8<\/strong> \u2014 <em>While they were striking them down, I alone was left, and I fell facedown and cried out: \u201cAlas, O Sovereign Lord Jehovah! Are you going to destroy all the remaining ones of Israel while you pour out your rage on Jerusalem?\u201d<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 8:<\/strong> At Ezekiel 9:8, the prophet is distressed by what he sees and addresses Jehovah. He does not view the death of other people coldly or with satisfaction. His reaction reminds me that recognizing Jehovah\u2019s justice does not mean losing our sensitivity. In the ministry, we want to help people, not speak to them with superiority. And when a situation overwhelms us, we can sincerely and deeply respectfully express our concerns to Jehovah.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-eze09_09_texto ctj-bible-bible_009 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 9:9<\/strong> \u2014 <em>So he said to me: \u201cThe error of the house of Israel and Judah is very, very great. The land is filled with bloodshed, and the city is full of corruption. For they say, \u2018Jehovah has left the land, and Jehovah is not seeing.\u2019<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 9:<\/strong> Ezekiel 9:9 points to bloodshed and corruption as part of the nation\u2019s serious error. This shows that Jehovah cares very much about how people are treated. He does not consider worship to be separable from honesty and respect for life. This verse moves me to review my everyday dealings: whether I am fair at work, whether I tell the truth, and whether I avoid taking advantage of others\u2019 vulnerability.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-eze09_10_texto ctj-bible-bible_009 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 9:9<\/strong> \u2014 <em>So he said to me: \u201cThe error of the house of Israel and Judah is very, very great. The land is filled with bloodshed, and the city is full of corruption. For they say, \u2018Jehovah has left the land, and Jehovah is not seeing.\u2019<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 10:<\/strong> Another detail of Ezekiel 9:9 is the mistaken idea that Jehovah did not see what was happening. That way of thinking accompanied the city\u2019s corruption. For me, the application is not to confuse the absence of immediate consequences with God\u2019s approval. If I have to make a decision that no one else will know about, remembering that Jehovah does see it helps me to act with integrity. I want to please him, not merely avoid having others discover something bad.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-eze09_11_texto ctj-bible-bible_010 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 9:10<\/strong> \u2014 <em>But as for me, my eye will not feel sorry; nor will I show compassion. The consequences of their way I will bring down on their own head.\u201d<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 11:<\/strong> Ezekiel 9:10 connects the punishment with the conduct of those who would receive it. The people could not blame Jehovah for the consequences of their bad decisions. This teaches me to accept responsibility when I make a mistake. Instead of justifying myself because of the environment or because of what others did, I need to acknowledge my part and correct it. Accepting the consequences can be difficult, but making excuses only makes it harder to truly change.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s3 ctj-unit-eze09_12_texto ctj-bible-bible_011 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 9:11<\/strong> \u2014 <em>Then I saw the man clothed in linen with the inkhorn at his waist bringing back word, saying: \u201cI have done just as you have commanded me.\u201d<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 12:<\/strong> Ezekiel 9:11 ends with the report of the man clothed in linen, who had carried out exactly the assignment he received. He did not merely accept the task; he completed it and reported back. This seems to me to be a good reminder regarding the responsibilities we receive in the congregation. Being reliable includes listening carefully, completing what is asked of us, and communicating the result. If a difficulty arises, it is better to ask for help than to let others assume that everything has been taken care of.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading ctj-editorial-section ctj-pearls-section\">Spiritual Gems for EZEKIEL 10<\/h2><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-eze10_01_texto ctj-bible-bible_012 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 10:1<\/strong> \u2014 <em>As I was watching, I saw above the expanse that was over the heads of the cherubs something like a sapphire stone appearing above them, and its appearance resembled a throne.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 1:<\/strong> Ezekiel 10:1 describes something resembling a throne above the cherubs. In the midst of a vision of judgment, that detail directs attention to Jehovah\u2019s authority. It helps me remember that difficult situations do not diminish his sovereignty. When something troubles me, I can think not only about the problem but also about the God I serve.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-eze10_02_texto ctj-bible-bible_013 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 10:2<\/strong> \u2014 <em>Then he said to the man clothed in linen: \u201cEnter between the wheelwork, under the cherubs, and fill both your hands with burning coals from between the cherubs and toss them over the city.\u201d So he entered as I watched.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 2:<\/strong> At Ezekiel 10:2, the command to scatter burning coals over the city forms part of the vision of judgment against Jerusalem. It is a serious scene that does not allow us to view the wickedness described in the previous chapter as harmless. It reminds me that hearing Bible warnings should move us to act, not merely to feel concerned for a moment. If I detect a habit that is weakening my friendship with Jehovah, the sensible course is to correct it without waiting for it to cause more harm.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-eze10_03_texto ctj-bible-bible_015 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 10:4<\/strong> \u2014 <em>And the glory of Jehovah rose up from the cherubs to the threshold of the doorway of the house, and the house gradually became filled with the cloud, and the courtyard was full of the brightness of the glory of Jehovah.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 3:<\/strong> Ezekiel 10:4 describes the house and courtyard as being filled with manifestations of Jehovah\u2019s glory. The focus is not human greatness or the beauty of the building, but Jehovah himself. This helps me keep my worship properly focused. When participating in a meeting, I do not want the main thing to be making a good impression. I want my comments and conduct to help others value Jehovah more and draw closer to him.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-eze10_04_texto ctj-bible-bible_016 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 10:5<\/strong> \u2014 <em>And the sound of the wings of the cherubs could be heard in the outer courtyard, like the sound of God Almighty when he speaks.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 4:<\/strong> Ezekiel 10:5 compares the sound of the cherubs\u2019 wings with the voice of God Almighty. The description conveys impressive power and helps us feel reverence. At times we may become so familiar with spiritual activities that we do them automatically. This verse encourages me to stop and remember whom I worship. Before praying or studying, taking a moment to think about Jehovah\u2019s greatness can help me pay closer attention.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-eze10_05_texto ctj-bible-bible_017 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 10:6<\/strong> \u2014 <em>Then he commanded the man clothed in linen: \u201cTake fire from between the wheelwork, from between the cherubs,\u201d and he entered and stood beside the wheel.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 5:<\/strong> Ezekiel 10:6 shows that the man clothed in linen positions himself where he needs to be in order to carry out the command he received. His response does not remain an intention; he takes the necessary step to obey. This invites me to think about my spiritual goals. Wanting to study more or participate more fully in the ministry is a beginning, but concrete action is needed. I can set aside a time, prepare the material, or ask for help instead of waiting for ideal circumstances.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-eze10_06_texto ctj-bible-bible_018 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 10:7<\/strong> \u2014 <em>Then one of the cherubs stretched his hand out toward the fire that was between the cherubs. He took some and put it into both hands of the one clothed in linen, who now took it and went out.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 6:<\/strong> At Ezekiel 10:7, a cherub hands the fire to the man clothed in linen, and he receives it and leaves to continue his assignment. Cooperation can be seen among those participating in the vision. Without assigning meanings to every detail, we can appreciate the value of collaborating. In the congregation, many tasks require some to make the work easier for others. Providing what is needed on time, sharing useful information, and accepting help contribute to getting the work done in an orderly way.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-eze10_07_texto ctj-bible-bible_020 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 10:9<\/strong> \u2014 <em>As I was watching, I saw four wheels beside the cherubs, one wheel beside each cherub, and the wheels appeared to glow like chrysolite stone.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 7:<\/strong> Ezekiel 10:9 mentions the gleam of the wheels, which the prophet compares to chrysolite. Ezekiel does not merely describe movements; he also notices the beauty of what he sees. That detail can help us read the Bible more attentively. If we move too quickly, we may overlook descriptions that enrich our view of Jehovah and his glory. It is worthwhile to pause, imagine the scene, and allow our appreciation for him to grow.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-eze10_08_texto ctj-bible-bible_022 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 10:11<\/strong> \u2014 <em>When they moved, they could go in any of the four directions without turning, because they would go to the place where the head would face without turning.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 8:<\/strong> Ezekiel 10:11 describes extraordinary freedom of movement: the wheels could move in any of the four directions without turning. The vision does not present the limitations of an ordinary vehicle. This reminds me that I should not measure Jehovah\u2019s ability by what I can imagine or accomplish. When I cannot see how a difficulty will be resolved, I can acknowledge my limitations without attributing those same limitations to him. Trusting does not require knowing all the details in advance.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-eze10_09_texto ctj-bible-bible_027 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 10:16<\/strong> \u2014 <em>and when the cherubs moved, the wheels would move alongside them; and when the cherubs lifted up their wings to be high above the earth, the wheels would not turn or move from their side.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 9:<\/strong> Ezekiel 10:16 highlights that the wheels accompanied the cherubs and did not move away from them. The scene conveys coordination, not independent movements that interfere with one another. It makes me think about how valuable cooperation is in the congregation. Taking initiative does not mean acting without considering others. When an activity requires teamwork, listening, reaching agreement, and respecting each person\u2019s responsibilities help far more than insisting on doing things my own way.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-eze10_10_texto ctj-bible-bible_028 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 10:17<\/strong> \u2014 <em>When these stood still, they would stand still; and when these rose, they would rise with them, for the spirit operating on the living creatures was in them.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 10:<\/strong> Ezekiel 10:17 explains that the coordination the prophet saw was related to the spirit operating in the living creatures and in the wheels. It was not simply a display of movement. This directs our attention to the importance of Jehovah\u2019s spirit. In our service, experience and organization are useful, but we do not want to rely solely on our abilities. We need to ask for his spirit and allow the guidance of his Word to influence our decisions and attitudes.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-eze10_11_texto ctj-bible-bible_029 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 10:18<\/strong> \u2014 <em>Then the glory of Jehovah departed from over the threshold of the doorway of the house and stood still over the cherubs.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 11:<\/strong> Ezekiel 10:18 describes how Jehovah\u2019s glory moved away from the threshold of the house and stood over the cherubs. In the context of Jerusalem\u2019s corruption, this is a detail that invites reflection. The relationship with Jehovah was not to be taken for granted. Personally, it reminds me that a record of service does not replace present faithfulness. Rather than relying on what I did in the past, I want to keep caring for my friendship with Jehovah through today\u2019s decisions.<\/p><p class=\"ctj-editorial-unit ctj-editorial-combined-answer ctj-editorial-part-s4 ctj-unit-eze10_12_texto ctj-bible-bible_031 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel 10:20<\/strong> \u2014 <em>These were the living creatures that I had seen under the God of Israel at the river Chebar, so I came to know that they were cherubs.<\/em><br><br> <strong>Comment 12:<\/strong> Ezekiel 10:20 explains that the prophet recognized the living creatures he had seen by the river Chebar and understood that they were cherubs. Connecting what he was seeing with what he had already observed helped him understand better. This encourages me to study patiently. Grasping a lesson does not always require looking for something new; sometimes we need to review and connect what the Bible has already shown us. It is also wise to distinguish what the text explains from what we merely assume.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Answers and comments from Spiritual Gems for the week of December
