Ezekiel 23Ezekiel 23 Summary
The Scandal of Two Sisters
A graphic exposé of two sisters—Oholah and Oholibah—who traded their divine covenant for the beds of foreign empires. As the younger sister watches the elder be devoured by the very lovers she courted, she doesn't recoil; she escalates. This is the autopsy of a nation's soul, proving that the most dangerous addiction isn't to substances, but to the approval of powers that intend to destroy you.
The Hinge Point
God uses the most offensive imagery possible because He refuses to let us domesticate our betrayal; He demands we see our 'harmless' political and social compromises as the spiritual violations they truly are.
