00:14 Hello and Welcome to "His words are life."
00:17 I'm Kelly Mowrer and today we'll continue reading 00:20 together in the Book of Ezekiel, 00:22 but first let's pray. 00:24 Dear Heavenly Father, thank you so much 00:27 for Your blessing to each one of us. 00:28 Thank You for redeeming us 00:31 and reconciling us unto yourself. 00:33 Thank You for helping us as we walk 00:37 on the road to heaven and sending 00:38 us your word to guide us. 00:40 Please be with us now, as we read, 00:42 asking in the name of Jesus, amen. 00:46 We're picking up in Ezekiel chapter 46 with verse 23 00:50 and this is -- the King James Version. 00:54 "And there was a row of building round about in them, 00:58 round about them four, 01:00 and it was made with boiling places 01:02 under the rows round about. 01:04 Then said he unto me, These are the places of them 01:07 that boil, where the ministers of the house 01:09 shall boil the sacrifice of the people." 01:13 Continuing with Ezekiel Chapter 47. 01:16 "Afterward he brought me again 01:19 unto the door of the house, and, behold, 01:21 waters issued out from under the threshold 01:24 of the house eastward, for the forefront of the house 01:27 stood toward the east, and the waters came down 01:29 from under from the right side of the house, 01:32 at the south side of the altar. 01:34 Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, 01:38 and led me about the way without unto the utter gate 01:42 by the way that looketh eastward, and, behold, 01:45 there ran out waters on the right side. 01:48 And when the man that had the line in his hand 01:51 went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, 01:56 and he brought me through the waters, 01:58 the waters were to the ankles. 02:00 Again he measured a thousand, 02:02 and brought me through the waters, 02:03 the waters were to the knees. 02:05 Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through, 02:07 the waters were to the loins. 02:10 Afterward he measured a thousand, and it was a river 02:13 that I could not pass over, for the waters were risen, 02:17 waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over. 02:23 And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? 02:28 Then he brought me, and caused me 02:30 to return to the brink of the river. 02:33 Now when I had returned, behold, 02:35 at the bank of the river were very many trees 02:38 on the one side and on the other. 02:41 Then said he unto me, These waters issue out 02:45 toward the east country, and go down into the desert, 02:48 and go into the sea, which being brought 02:50 forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed. 02:55 And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, 02:57 which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, 03:01 shall live, and there shall be 03:03 a very great multitude of fish, because these waters 03:06 shall come thither, for they shall be healed, 03:09 and every thing shall live whither the river cometh. 03:13 And it shall come to pass, that the fishers 03:15 shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim, 03:21 they shall be a place to spread forth nets, their fish 03:26 shall be according to their kinds, as the fish 03:28 of the great sea, exceeding many. 03:32 But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof 03:36 shall not be healed, they shall be given to salt. 03:40 And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side 03:43 and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, 03:47 whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit 03:50 thereof be consumed, it shall bring forth new fruit 03:53 according to his months, because their waters 03:56 they issued out of the sanctuary, and the fruit 03:59 thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine. 04:05 Thus saith the Lord GOD, This shall be the border, 04:08 whereby ye shall inherit the land 04:11 according to the twelve tribes of Israel, 04:13 Joseph shall have two portions. 04:16 And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another, 04:20 concerning the which I lifted up mine hand 04:22 to give it unto your fathers, and this land shall fall 04:25 unto you for inheritance. 04:28 And this shall be the border of the land 04:29 toward the north side, from the great sea, 04:32 the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad, Hamath, 04:37 Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus 04:41 and the border of Hamath, Hazarhatticon, 04:44 which is by the coast of Hauran. 04:46 And the border from the sea shall be Hazarenan, 04:50 the border of Damascus, and the north northward, 04:54 and the border of Hamath. 04:55 And this is the north side. 04:58 And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, 05:01 and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land 05:04 of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the east sea. 05:09 And this is the east side. 05:12 And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters 05:16 of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. 05:21 And this is the south side southward. 05:24 The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, 05:28 till a man come over against Hamath. 05:30 This is the west side. 05:32 So shall ye divide this land unto you 05:36 according to the tribes of Israel. 05:38 And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot 05:41 for an inheritance among you, and to the strangers 05:45 that sojourn among you, which shall beget 05:47 children among you, and they shall be unto you 05:50 as born in the country among the children of Israel, 05:52 they shall have inheritance with you 05:54 among the -- tribes of Israel. 05:56 And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe 05:59 the stranger sojourneth, there shall 06:02 ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord God." 06:07 Continuing with Ezekiel Chapter 48. 06:11 "Now these are the names of the tribes. 06:13 From the north end to the -- coast of the way of Hethlon, 06:17 as one goeth to Hamath, Hazarenan, 06:20 the border of Damascus northward, 06:22 to the coast of Hamath, 06:24 for these are his sides east and west, a portion for Dan. 06:29 And by the border of Dan, from the east side 06:31 unto the west side, a portion for Asher. 06:34 And by the border of Asher, from the east side 06:37 even unto the west side, a portion for Naphtali. 06:40 And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side 06:43 unto the west side, a portion for Manasseh. 06:47 And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side 06:50 unto the west side, a portion for Ephraim. 06:53 And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side 06:55 even unto the west side, a portion for Reuben. 06:59 And by the border of Reuben, 07:00 from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Judah. 07:04 And by the border of Judah, from the east side 07:06 unto the west side, shall be the offering 07:09 which ye shall offer of five and twenty thousand 07:12 reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the other 07:14 parts, from the east side unto the west side, 07:17 and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it. 07:20 The oblation that ye shall offer unto the Lord 07:23 shall be of five and twenty thousand in length, 07:26 and of ten thousand in breadth. 07:28 And for them, even for the priests, 07:30 shall be this holy oblation, toward the north five 07:34 and twenty thousand in length, and toward the west 07:37 ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east 07:39 ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south five 07:42 and twenty thousand in length, and the sanctuary 07:44 of the Lord shall be in the midst thereof. 07:48 It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of -- 07:51 the sons of Zadok, which have kept my charge, 07:55 which went not astray when the children of Israel 07:58 went astray, as the Levites went astray. 08:01 And this oblation of the land that is offered 08:04 shall be unto them a thing most holy 08:07 by the border of the Levites. 08:10 And over against the border of the priests the Levites 08:13 shall have five and twenty thousand in length, 08:15 and ten thousand in breadth, all the length shall be five 08:19 and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand. 08:22 And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, 08:25 nor alienate the firstfruits of the land, 08:28 for it is holy unto the Lord. 08:31 And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth over 08:33 against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane 08:36 place for the city, for dwelling, and for suburbs, 08:39 and the city shall be in the midst thereof. 08:42 And these shall be the -- measures thereof, the north side 08:45 four thousand and five hundred, and the south side 08:47 four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side 08:49 four thousand and five hundred, and the west side 08:51 four thousand and five hundred. 08:53 And the suburbs of the city shall be 08:55 toward the north two hundred and fifty, and toward 08:57 the south two hundred and -- fifty, and toward the east 09:00 two hundred and fifty, and toward the west 09:03 And the residue in length over against the oblation 09:07 of the holy portion shall be ten thousand eastward, 09:10 and ten thousand westward, and it shall be over against 09:12 the oblation of the holy portion, 09:15 and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them 09:17 that serve the city. 09:19 And they that serve the city shall serve it 09:21 out of all the tribes of Israel. 09:24 All the oblation shall be five and twenty thousand 09:27 by five and twenty thousand, ye shall offer 09:29 the holy oblation foursquare, with the possession of the city. 09:34 And the residue shall be for the prince, on the one side 09:37 and on the other of the holy oblation, 09:40 and of the possession of the city, over against 09:42 the five and twenty thousand of the oblation 09:44 toward the east border, and westward over against 09:47 the five and twenty thousand toward 09:48 the west border, over against the portions for the prince, 09:51 and it shall be the holy oblation, 09:53 and the sanctuary of the house 09:55 shall be in the midst thereof. 09:58 Moreover from the possession of the Levites, 10:02 and from the possession of the city, being in the midst 10:04 of that which is the prince's, between the border of Judah 10:07 and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the prince. 10:11 As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side 10:14 unto the west side, Benjamin shall have a portion. 10:17 And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side 10:20 unto the west side, Simeon shall have a portion. 10:23 And by the border of Simeon, from the east side 10:26 unto the west side, Issachar a portion. 10:29 And by the border of Issachar, from the east side 10:32 unto the west side, Zebulun a portion. 10:35 And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side 10:38 unto the west side, Gad a portion. 10:40 And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, 10:44 the border shall be even from Tamar unto the waters 10:48 of strife in Kadesh, and to the river toward the great sea. 10:51 This is the land which ye shall divide by lot 10:54 unto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, 10:57 and these are their portions, saith the Lord GOD. 11:01 And these are the goings out of the city on the north side, 11:04 four thousand and five hundred measures. 11:07 And the gates of the city shall be after 11:09 the names of the tribes of Israel, three gates northward, 11:13 one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi. 11:17 And at the east side four thousand and five hundred, 11:20 and three gates, and one gate of Joseph, 11:23 one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan. 11:26 And at the south side four thousand 11:28 and five hundred measures, and three gates, 11:30 one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, 11:34 one gate of Zebulun. 11:36 At the west side four thousand and five hundred, 11:39 with their three gates, one gate of Gad, 11:42 one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali. 11:46 It was round about eighteen thousand measures, 11:50 and the name of the city from that day 11:53 shall be, The Lord is there." 11:58 We're moving now to read the Book of Daniel, 12:01 Chapter 1 and this is the King James Version. 12:06 "In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim 12:09 king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar 12:12 king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it. 12:17 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah 12:20 into his hand, with part of the vessels 12:23 of the house of God, which he carried 12:25 into the land of Shinar to the house of his god, 12:28 and he brought the vessels 12:30 into the treasure house of his god. 12:32 And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master 12:35 of his eunuchs, that he should bring 12:38 certain of the children of Israel, 12:40 and of the king's seed, and of the princes, 12:42 Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, 12:46 and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, 12:50 and understanding science, and such as had ability in them 12:54 to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach 12:58 the learning and -- the tongue of the Chaldeans. 13:02 And the king appointed them a daily provision 13:06 of the king's meat, and of the wine which he drank, 13:09 so nourishing them three years, 13:13 that at the end thereof they might stand before the king. 13:17 Now among these were of the children of Judah, 13:21 Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 13:26 Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names, 13:30 for he gave unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar, 13:35 and to Hananiah, of Shadrach, and to Mishael, 13:39 of Meshach, and to Azariah, of Abednego. 13:44 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not 13:48 defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, 13:52 nor with the wine which he drank, therefore he requested 13:55 of the prince of the eunuchs 13:56 that he might not defile himself. 13:59 Now God had brought Daniel into favour 14:03 and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs. 14:07 And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, 14:10 I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed 14:13 your meat and your drink, for why should he see your 14:16 faces worse liking than the children 14:19 which are of your sort? 14:20 then shall ye make me endanger 14:23 my head to the king. 14:25 Then said Daniel to Melzar, 14:27 whom the prince of the eunuchs 14:29 had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, 14:32 and Azariah, Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, 14:35 ten days, and let them give us 14:37 pulse to eat, and water to drink. |
