Visionary Journey to Jerusalem

8In the sixth year, in the sixth [month], on the fifth [day] of the month, I was sitting in my house and the elders of Judah were sitting in front of me, and there the hand of the Lord God came down on me.H8345H8141H8345H2568H2320H3427H1004H2205H3063H3427H6440H3027H136H3069H5307 2I looked, and there was a form that had the appearance of a man. From what seemed to be His waist down was fire, and from His waist up was something that looked bright, like the gleam of amber.H7200H1823H4758H784H4758H4975H4295H784H4975H4605H4758H2096H5869H2830 3He stretched out what appeared to be a hand and took me by the hair of my head. Then the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and carried me in visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the inner gate that faces north, where the offensive statue that provokes jealousy was located.H7971H8403H3027H3947H6734H7218H7307H5375H776H8064H935H4759H430H3389H6607H6442H8179H6437H6828H4186H5566H7068H7069 4I saw the glory of the God of Israel there, like the vision I had seen in the plain.H3519H430H3478H4758H7200H1237

Pagan Practices in the Temple

5The LORD said to me, "Son of man, look toward the north." I looked to the north, and there was this offensive statue north of the altar gate, at the entrance.H559H1121H120H5375H5869H1870H6828H5375H5869H1870H6828H6828H8179H4196H5566H7068H872 6He said to me, "Son of man, do you see what they are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel is committing here, so that I must depart from My sanctuary? You will see even greater abominations."H559H1121H120H7200H6213H1419H8441H1004H3478H6213H7368H4720H7725H7200H1419H8441 7Then He brought me to the entrance of the court, and when I looked there was a hole in the wall.H935H6607H2691H7200H259H2356H7023 8He said to me, "Son of man, dig through the wall." So I dug through the wall, and there was a doorway.H559H1121H120H2864H7023H2864H7023H259H6607 9He said to me, "Go in and see the terrible abominations they are committing here."H559H935H7200H7451H8441H6213 10I went in and looked, and there engraved all around the wall was every form of detestable thing, crawling creatures and beasts, as well as all the idols of the house of Israel.H935H7200H8403H7431H8263H929H1544H1004H3478H2707H7023H5439 11Seventy elders from the house of Israel were standing before them, with Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing among them. Each had an incense burner in his hand, and a fragrant cloud of incense was rising up.H5975H6440H7657H376H2205H1004H3478H8432H5975H2970H1121H8227H376H4730H3027H6282H6051H7004H5927 12Then He said to me, "Son of man, do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each at the shrine of his idol? For they are saying: The LORD does not see us. The LORD has abandoned the land."H559H1121H120H7200H2205H1004H3478H6213H2822H376H2315H4906H559H3068H7200H3068H5800H776 13Again He said to me, "You will see even greater abominations, which they are committing."H559H7725H7200H1419H8441H6213 14So He brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the LORD's house, and I saw women sitting there weeping for Tammuz.H935H6607H8179H3068H1004H6828H3427H802H1058H8542 15And He said to me, "Do you see [this], son of man? You will see even greater abominations than these."H559H7200H1121H120H7725H7200H1419H8441 16So He brought me to the inner court of the LORD's house, and there were about 25 men at the entrance of the LORD's temple, between the portico and the altar, with their backs to the LORD's temple and their faces [turned] to the east. They were bowing to the east in worship of the sun.H935H6442H2691H3068H1004H6607H1964H3068H197H4196H2568H6242H376H268H1964H3068H6440H6924H7812H8121H6924 17And He said to me, "Do you see [this], son of man? Is it not enough for the house of Judah to commit the abominations they are practicing here, that they must also fill the land with violence and repeatedly provoke Me to anger, even putting the branch to their nose?H559H7200H1121H120H7043H1004H3063H6213H8441H6213H4390H776H2555H7725H3707H7971H2156H639 18Therefore I will respond with wrath. I will not show pity or spare [them]. Though they cry out in My ears with a loud voice, I will not listen to them."H6213H2534H5869H2347H2550H7121H241H1419H6963H8085
