The saints are told three times to “fret not” (Psalm 37:1,7-8). <em>Fret</em> comes from a root word meaning <em>to eat</em> or <em>to devour</em>. We will find that Jesus Christ is the only solution to the disease of a fretting heart.
There are many terrible things in this life that we could experience that would not be pleasant. Possibly the worst thing that could happen to a person is to burn in a fire. It only lasts for a little while and you die, but still that is a horrible way to die. Imagine for a moment if you were on fire and you could not die. How terrible! Such is the lot of all those who have not put their trust for eternity in the finished work of Christ.
Interpretation of the women that sew pillows to armholes and hunt for the souls of men – soothsayers; fortune tellers, sorcerers. The ones Ezekiel is called to pronounce judgment against are hunting the souls of God’s people and polluting God among His people. This points to a broader application. This message focuses on those who make merchandise of God’s people in order to pollute God among His people.
Solomon may have been the wisest man to live but he still had a sin nature. This proves once again that without the help of God we are bound to sin.
In the days of the tribulation, the Antichrist will declare himself to be God. All of those who have rejected the gospel in the age of grace will worship him as God. You must trust Jesus Christ today as your Saviour so that you will not be among that number. Are you ready for the catching away of the saved?
