New heart, New Spirit_17PT1 Ezekiel 11:19;21:1-17 God's sword of judgment was destined to strike Jerusalem. 1. God's sword of judgment drawn: a reminder that both the righteous and the wicked will be judged (v.1-7).2. God's sword of judgment prepared to strike: a reminder to be ready to face God's coming judgment (v.8-17).We must prepare for the coming judgment. When God's sword of judgment begins to strike, we must be ready to stand face-to-face with the LORD. When He calls us forward to stand before Him, we must be ready to give an account of our behavior. we learn that even in a time of national disaster God continued to care about, and to watch over, individuals. God preserved the good in Israel despite the terrible disaster that befell the country. What is more, the words God sent His prophet to utter conveyed good news to each individual. To the godly Jew Ezekiel's words were a promise. God would watch over him or her whatever came. And to the wicked, Ezekiel's words were both a warning and an invitation. The pressures they must have felt now under the threat of re-invasion by the Babylonians were nothing compared to the death and destruction that lay ahead. In view of that certain future, God's willingness to accept the person who would repent shone bright. It is never too late to change.It is never too late—until the judgment comes.
