fcreamedal I Comments o« aS’<«cbl iLeasoiiJbHSg Creamed Comments on the Sunday school lesson, Exekiel and the Earlier Captivity, II Kings 24:8-16; Ezekiel 1:2.3; 18:30-32, for Sunday. July 17, Ezekiel was a priest and prophet and was taken with the captives of Judah into Babylon where he was God's man who spoke for God with earnest entreaties to repent. gave gracious promises of restoration, and assurances of a new heart and a new spirit for all who would genuinely repent. V.B. “Jehoiachin was eighteen 'years-old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mother's name was -Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.” Jehoiachin was the young son of Jehoiakim, a bad man who was son of the good king Josiah. Jehoiachins short reign was due to his rebellion against Babylon, which nation was in the business of overthrowing other nations. V. 9. “And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father had done.” Three months is too short a time to change the policies of a government and so he followed the pattern of his evil father. He was so insignificant that Jeremiah did not even mention him. VB.io.il. “At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came up against Jerusalem, and thg city was besieged. And Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came against the city, and his servants did besiege it.” The king of Babylon was busy with the siege of Tyre and so he sent his servants to besiege Jerusalem and later the king of Babylon called on the king of Judah to arrange for the captivity. Note that the work of wicked rulers is well planned. ' V. 12. “And Jehoiachin, king of Judah- went out to the king of BabylotL"lte, and his mother, and. >is servants, and his princes, and his officers; and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.’’ There was no resistance and because of this the city of Jerusalem was not destroyed. The sins of the fathers was now visited upon the present generation. Sin weakens an individual and a nation and because of this ' is easily overpowered by evil ' forces. V. 13. "And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of

■mi in ' ■« MF the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon the king of Israel had made fa the temple of the Lord, as the Lord had said." So perfect was the destruction of the kingdom of Judah that all the treasures of the temple were confiscated. Those who have no regard for the house of God see no evil in desecrating holy places. Etra 1:9-11 tells how great these treasures were—6.4oV vessels covered with silver and gold. V. 14. "And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths; none remained save the poorest sort of the people of the land.” To perfectly subdue a conquered nation, those in authority and those that made a nation strong were taken captive; this was just another page in the secular history of that day. To make sure that Judah would stay conquered, the king of Babylon appointed a king of his own choosing, namely Zedikiah. Later he became obstreperous. Evil men can not trust evil men. V. 15. “And-he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon” Deserting the way of Josiah who did what was right, Jehoiachin came to a bitter end. It is how a life ends that counts most, which calls for repentance of sin and faithfulness to the will of God. ' V 5.2,3. “In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of King Jehoiachins captivity, the word of the Lord came expressly tp Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi. in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the Lord was there upon him." For several years Ezekiel, the prophet of the . exile, remained unnoticed; then by a series of visions, he awoke to the call of God — visions that caused him tp be daring in telling the truths as reveal ed to him by the LordV. 30. “Therefore, I will judge you. O House of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord God- Repent and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.” Here is an eternal truth fitted for all sinners. Note that this is an individual matter. "V 5.31,32. “. . . and make you a new heart and a new spirit; for why will you die, Q house of Israel . - -” A transformation of character is possible. — Rev.

Qur Preacher Says: Dependence on God is necessary for loyal obedience to Him. Material supplies are so abundant that one living in comfort is likely to feel no need of God. But sooner or later man's insufficiency is discovered. The lethargy of obedience with its accompanying faith makes reaction to God more and more difficult. So it is that right relations to God are the nwft easily made in early life. Lesson Prayer: Lesson prayer: We are grateful that sin has its limitations and with Thee all power is given ahd we have a chance to live eternally when we abide in Thee. Grant that the eternal need of repentance and surrender of self may he so well presented that continually the results of transformed lives may be seen. You can't keep a man down in the ditch unless you stay down with T. Washington.

When the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all in one place with one accord. Then it is also written that one with the Lord can put a thousand to flight and two can put ten thousand to flight. These promises are demonstrated in history.
