Ezekiel
"I will clear the territory of Moab of cities"
Text: Ezekiel 25:93
DIVINE JUDGMENT ON MOAB
Moab had not reckoned with the God of Israel and His sovereignty. The Lord was not just the God of Israel but He was sovereign over all nations!
“To the men of the East I will give it as a possession,
together with the Ammonites,
that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations.
And I will execute judgments upon Moab,
and they shall know that I am the Lord.”
