You must be in fellowship prior to your Bible study, so that the spiritual information you receive can become a source, of blessing to your soul and produce spiritual growth.


Eze. 6:5-7


5 And I will lay [nathan] the dead carcases [peger] of the children [ben] of Israel [Yisra'el] before [paniym] their idols [gilluwl]; and I will scatter [zarah] your bones [etsem] round about [cabiyb] your altars [mizbeach].
6 In all your dwellingplaces [mowshab] the cities [iyr] shall be laid waste [charab], and the high places [bamah] shall be desolate [yasham]; that your altars [mizbeach] may be laid waste [charab] and made desolate [asham], and your idols [gilluwl] may be broken [shabar] and cease [shabath], and your images [chamman] may be cut down [gada], and your works [ma`aseh] may be abolished [machah].
7 And the slain [chalal] shall fall [naphal] in the midst [tavek] of you, and ye shall know [yada] that I am the LORD [Yahovah]. KJV-Interlinear


5 'I shall also lay the dead bodies of the sons of Israel in front of their idols; and I shall scatter your bones around your altars. 6 'In all your dwellings, cities will become waste and the high places will be desolate, that your altars may become waste and desolate, your idols may be broken and brought to an end, your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be blotted out. 7 'And the slain will fall among you, and you will know that I am the LORD. NASB


The idols are your basis for whatever it is you believe in life - your norms and standards of life, your beliefs, your ideals, your chosen pattern of life which you believe is acceptable and legitimate in life, the things you worship whether they be some religious doctrine or some socially acceptable (or unacceptable) life style.

All of these choices in life will be met with your dry bones, because they do not match up with the pattern of life which God had defined for mankind.

The alters of life are very similar to the idols, although the alters are your basis of justification for whatever it is you believe. Homosexuals, liberal or even conservative politicians, criminals, even the self righteous 'nice' people have their alters of life which ultimately define their pattern of life which they deem acceptable.

All are driven by arrogance attached to some form of lust or even an insecurity. Whether they be for sex, power, attention, greed or whatever. All roads outside of Gods will lead to self destruction. That is a certainty.

God provides the airplane of life and the course and the flight plan. Those who don't like it jump out. What are their prospects? Gravity (the jungle) takes control over their life. They have no control. Not even a parachute. There is no parachute outside of the will of God. So, now again, what are their prospects?

Some will pretend that they have some control and they can control the nature and speed and angle of their descent, though they don't admit that they are even falling. Outside of the plane is a thick fog. The fog of lies. No one can see where they are with respect to God, or their eventual destiny - the ground.

So they free fall through life. Some for years, some for decades. But again, all paths outside of the plane lead to the same place - the ground. And when the ground is finally reached, then it isn't a very pleasant greeting. And then it is too late to ask God to put you back inside the plane. You see God has the beaming equipment to retrieve you back inside the plane. Been watching too many Sci-fi movies I suppose. What was that engineers name? Scottie?

Anyway, back to the dismal prospects of the negative, or indifferent, or defiant believer. When you do not pursue Gods will by means of His defined study plan, then you fall into one or more of these three categories. Those who define their own spirituality are both indifferent and defiant to truth. Well actually they are probably all three.

What is left of ones life? Bones. All of the life, all of the beauty, all of the talent, all of the titles have rotted away into nothingness. Only the bones remain. There is no life in bones.

Lev. 26:30
30 'I then will destroy your high places, and cut down your incense altars, and heap your remains on the remains of your idols; for My soul shall abhor you. NASB

The dwellings (all of your accomplishments), the cities (all of organized mans honoring to himself), all of the high places (all of mans plans and priorities), and of course all self made plans for your own life (idols), will come to the same end as the bones. They will rot away and disappear to history. Lost forever, and forgotten as though they were never known or existed.

The humiliation and disgrace of the destruction is heightened by the bones of all those slain, being scattered all around their own self defined plans for life. Their alters, their prayers (incense in arrogance) seeking to have God rubber stamp their human plans and standards of life will all come to an abrupt end just as life's reality comes to an abrupt end when the ground is finally reached from the free fall.

A great deal is at stake in life. God provides for everything and far more, and He is able to accomplish anything, even things beyond ones dreams. Yet arrogance, disbelief, disregard for the reality of what the Bible has to offer prevents people from achieving something far greater than anything the world could provide in a thousand lifetimes. And we know that we have but one life.

End Of Lesson

Study to show thyself approved (mature) unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (studying/discerning), the Word of truth.
