Purifying the people

God is a patient Father as He faithfully waits for Israel to turn away from their rebellion.  He promises to restore then as a holy people as well as to bring restoration to their land.  As a good Father, God will have to bring Israel through some difficult times.

Ezekiel 20:33-36

“As I live,” says the Lord God, “surely with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out, I will rule over you. I will bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you are scattered, with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out. And I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will plead My case with you face to face. Just as I pleaded My case with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will plead My case with you,” says the Lord God.

PRAY FOR ISRAEL TO TURN FROM THEIR REBELLION BEFORE GOD BRINGS DISCIPLINE.
