EZEKIEL 20:26 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
I did this that they might know that I am the Lord through the defilements I allowed, establishing that judgment serves to demonstrate God's lordship. The paradoxical consequence of allowing defilement is that it reveals God's sovereignty over Israel's history and His determination to rule whether through blessing or judgment. Israel will learn God's identity through the experience of judgment.
