Judgment of the Fat and Strong

 

Today's verse is Ezekiel 34:16

I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.

It is not because they are fat, nor is it because they are strong, that they face judgment. But if you notice the context of this verse: it is because those that are fat, and those that are strong, they are fat and strong because they having caused the misery of others, they feed thereof. God does not despise those that are fat. God does not hate those that are strong, but God will destroy those that oppress others that they may profit from it. Here we see that God will have compassion upon those that have been oppressed, and he will destroy the oppressors, but let us remember what the preacher said, that whether they were oppressed, or that they did the oppressing, none of them had a comforter. However, if we seek out the God that created the Heaven and the Earth: he will be our comforter, he will be our strength, and even, he will make us fat [prosperous.] Selah [think on this.]

Amen.

To God be the Glory
