OUR FATHER WHOSE WORDS OF WARNING ARE SERIOUS

The book of Ezekiel chapter 6 verse 10 says this;

And they will know that I am the Lord; I did not threaten in vain to bring this calamity on them.

God's people, having engaged in idolatrous practices like maintaining false altars and burning incense to idols, are warned in a prophecy recorded by the prophet Ezekiel, of a coming judgement that would destroy the idols they had fashioned for themselves. 

The judgement would also be a fatal calamity to the people leaving only a remnant of the people alive.

This surviving remnant, having escaped the disaster that had struck them, would then remember the Lord and they would understand how grievous their detestable actions had been towards their God.

This realization would show the remnant that their God was the only true and living God and that His warnings to them were not empty threats.

Amen.
