Ezekiel 6:6 In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate… Man says he wants sincerity and earnestness. What God asks is truth, the one religion which He has revealed. I. FALSE RELIGION: there is such a thing; it may be earnest and zealous, yet false. II. ITS USELESSNESS: it profits nobody, either here or hereafter; is not acceptable to God. III. ITS HATEFULNESS: God abhors it; it is outward, untrue, against His revelation; dishonouring, self-exalting. IV. ITS DOOM: its condemnation is — 1. Certain. 2. Utter. 3. Visible. 4. Expressive. 5. Contemptuous. 6. Everlasting.Apply — (1) See that your religion is true. (2) Your worship real. (H. Bonar, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: In all your dwellingplaces the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your images may be cut down, and your works may be abolished. |
