Day 241: Ezekiel 9-12

I find the whole marking of God followers vs. those who are not in chapter 9 interesting.  Just like marking the doorpost at the first passover, just like the markings at the end of time for believers and for followers of Satan.

A note: "God's glory departed from the temple and was never completely present again until Christ himself visited in in New Testament times.  God's holiness required that he leave the temple because people had so defiled it.  God had to completely destroy what people had perverted in order for true worship to be revived."  This shows me that sinful areas of my life have to be COMPLETELY excised in order for God to fill in those spaces.
