Ezekiel 35:10-15

God is in control! He always has been and He will always be….…trust Him to fight our battles! 

The outcome could be much different than you anticipate…..because He loves all the people involved without partiality and His justice done in mercy is quite different than mans’.

Edom expected to take over Judah and Israel after their destruction by the Babylonians. They were in for a surprise.

Ezekiel 35:10-15

¹⁰ “Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess them,’ although the Lord was there, ¹¹ therefore, as I live,” says the Lord God, “I will do according to your anger and according to the envy which you showed in your hatred against them; and I will make Myself known among them when I judge you. ¹² Then you shall know that I am the Lord. I have heard all your blasphemies which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They are desolate; they are given to us to consume.’ ¹³ Thus with your mouth you have boasted against Me and multiplied your words against Me; I have heard them.”

¹⁴ ‘Thus says the Lord God: “The whole earth will rejoice when I make you desolate. ¹⁵ As you rejoiced because the inheritance of the house of Israel was desolate, so I will do to you; you shall be desolate, O Mount Seir, as well as all of Edom—all of it! Then they shall know that I am the Lord.” ’

He said: “Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the LORD says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s.’” 

2 Chronicles 20:15

² For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 

Matthew 7:2

¹³ For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment. 

James 2:13

³“Talk no more so very proudly; Let no arrogance come from your mouth, For the Lord is the God of knowledge; And by Him actions are weighed. 

1 Samuel 2:3
