Ezekiel 3:16-23   (NLT)

16 After seven days the Lord gave me a message. He said, 17 “Son of man, I have appointed you as a watchman for Israel. Whenever you receive a message from me, warn people immediately. 18 If I warn the wicked, saying, ‘You are under the penalty of death,’ but you fail to deliver the warning, they will die in their sins. And I will hold you responsible for their deaths. 19 If you warn them and they refuse to repent and keep on sinning, they will die in their sins. But you will have saved yourself because you obeyed me.

20 “If righteous people turn away from their righteous behavior and ignore the obstacles I put in their way, they will die. And if you do not warn them, they will die in their sins. None of their righteous acts will be remembered, and I will hold you responsible for their deaths. 21 But if you warn righteous people not to sin and they listen to you and do not sin, they will live, and you will have saved yourself, too.”

22 Then the Lord took hold of me and said, “Get up and go out into the valley, and I will speak to you there.” 23 So I got up and went, and there I saw the glory of the Lord... 

 11-14-21  Post Script:

The other day I posted a Sermon by John Bevere. In the sermon John explained that it was very unusual for a Prophet to give a personal word to an individual and that the few times in scripture where it was recorded was not normally the kind of "Word," that one would hope to receive. 

Well, I am in full agreement with John, as the Lord has seldom given me a personal "word" to a particular individual. No, most of the time it is a collective "Word." We see this in John the Baptist, where he would normally begin an exhortation, "YOU BROOD OF SNAKES." 

And although, I usually reserve the saying for my "Clergy," friends, I can see it being applied to other situations? 

Nonetheless, as I was shaving about an hour ago. (I wanted to look refreshed for a Gal that I would possibly like to "Woo," some day.)

You see, I am a "hopeless romantic" and it has gotten me into more trouble than you can imagine!

Anyway, the Lord gave me a "word" for a collective body. Actually, it wasn't just for one "House," but it was for "Both Houses." 

Nonetheless, although I didn't fully understand the significance, I am going to post it here today, as an after thought to my paper of the other day. 

Will that be alright with YOU?

"YOU BROOD OF VIPERS?"

You see, it was just a scripture that the Lord gave me and then told me to publish. 

Perhaps, it may mean more to one of my readers, cause I am just now trying to figure out it's significance? 

In fact, I am going to give the NASB Version since many consider it to be the most accurate "word for word," translation.

Matthew 27:19-25   New American Standard Bible

19 And while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message, saying, "See that you have nothing to do with that righteous Man; for last night I suffered greatly in a dream because of Him." 20 But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas, and to put Jesus to death. 21 And the governor said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" And they said, "Barabbas." 22 Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said, "Crucify Him!" 23 But he said, "Why, what evil has He done?" Yet they kept shouting all the more, saying, "Crucify Him!"

24 Now when Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather that a riot was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this Man's blood; you yourselves shall see." 

25 And all the people replied, "His blood shall be on us and on our children!" 

Luke 16:19-31  The Passion Translation

19 Jesus continued. “There once was a very rich man who had the finest things imaginable, living every day enjoying his life of opulent luxury. 20–21 Outside the gate of his mansion was a poor beggar named Lazarus. He lay there every day, covered with boils, and all the neighborhood dogs would come 

22 “One day poor Lazarus died, and the angels of God came and escorted his spirit into paradise.

23 “The day came that the rich man also died. In hell he looked up from his torment and saw Abraham in the distance, and Lazarus was standing beside him in the glory. 24 The rich man shouted, ‘Father Abraham! Father Abraham! Have mercy on me. Send Lazarus to dip his finger in water and come to cool my tongue, for I am in agony in these flames of fire!’

25 “But Abraham responded, ‘My friend, don’t you remember? While you were alive, you had all you desired. You surrounded yourself in luxury, while Lazarus had nothing. Now Lazarus dwells in the comforts of paradise and you are in agony. 26 Besides, between us is a huge chasm that cannot be bridged, nor can anyone cross from one realm to the other, even if he wanted.’

27 “The rich man continued, ‘Then let me ask you, Father Abraham, please send Lazarus to my relatives. 28 Tell him to witness to my five brothers and warn them not to end up where I am in this place of torment.’

29 “Abraham replied, ‘They’ve already had plenty of warning. They have the teachings of Moses and the revelation of the prophets; let them hear them.’

30 “ ‘What if they’re not listening?’ the rich man added. ‘If someone from the dead were to go and warn them, they would surely repent.’

31 “Abraham said to him, ‘If they wouldn’t listen to Moses and the prophets, neither would they be convinced if someone were raised from the dead!’ ”
