"If I cause wild beasts to pass through the land"

Text: Ezekiel 14:15

“If I cause wild beasts to pass through the land” Ezekiel 14:15

THE FEARFUL PROSPECT OF DESOLATION

Israel had not accepted the depth of its sin problems. The whole nation was so caught up with sinful activities, sinning seemed to be “nothing”. The nation couldn’t be more wrong!

“‘If I cause wild beasts to pass through the land,
and they empty it, and make it so desolate that
no man may pass through because of the beasts,
even though these three men were in it, as I live,’ says the Lord God,
‘they would deliver neither sons nor daughters;
only they would be delivered, and the land would be desolate.'”
