Zakuska Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) We read in Leviticus...Leviticus 18:2121 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord.God commands them not to sacrifice their children to Molech.But here...Ezekiel 2023 I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries;24 Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols.25 Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;26 And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb,that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the Lord.God takes credit for giving the command TO do it.Something isn't quite right here Willis!

Log Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) I think this has reference to the laws and practices of the heathens into whose hands Israel was delivered, which practices and laws Israel adopted. Edited October 30, 2011 by Log

I think these convey they same relationship the Lord had with Pharaoh when he "hardened Pharaoh's heart."
