Episode notes
God's Discipline vs. Abuse
- God's refusal to let His people go astray, even through discipline, shows His love and desire for their return.
- This discipline, however, is distinct from abuse, which is never endorsed.
Idolatry and Adultery
- Idolatry is closely related to adultery, especially in our relationship with God.
- Turning to idols is like betraying God, similar to how a spouse would feel betrayed by infidelity.
Ezekiel's Wife's Death
- Ezekiel's wife dies, yet he does not mourn, fulfilling a prophetic action.
- This act symbolizes the indifference of the Israelites towards the future destruction of the temple.
