[00:02:03] So on Friday we read Ezekiel chapter 10 sure fuck did and in that chapter Ezekiel once again

[00:02:10] saw a vision of like, you know eyeballs on wheels and fucking wings and crazy shit

[00:02:17] And four heads but the four heads didn't match up with the four heads the first time

[00:02:22] There were there was something different. It was a it was a fucking chair of this time instead of a board and rock

[00:02:28] That's right. Yeah, yeah one of the four heads was wrong. Yeah, and that was crazy

[00:02:32] so we talked about that in our Q&A over the weekend and then

[00:02:37] Then God and and the chair room departed because they're like peace out sea bitches

[00:02:42] Oh

[00:04:48] All right here. We are getting into easy kyle chapter 11

[00:04:53] All right

[00:04:54] And if i'm not mistaken this chapter will conclude the

[00:05:00] Um this vision that azikio has been having for the last couple chapters

[00:05:06] Okay, you know where god like picked up his brain and yeah

[00:05:09] He was sitting there in front of the elders and then all of a sudden he was transported magically to drew slum in the vision

[00:05:14] Because he's physically in babelon right. Yeah. Yeah, so yeah if I read the notes correctly

[00:05:21] I still wonder what happened with the whole lay on your side for a year and a half because they didn't really follow

[00:05:25] Up on that that was then this is now. Oh, yeah

[00:05:27] All right

[00:05:31] Then

[00:05:32] The spirit lifted me up and brought me to the gate of the house of the lord that faces east

[00:05:38] Okay, sure sure there at the entrance of the gate were 25 men

[00:05:43] 25 got it and I don't know if this is the same 25 guys that were praising the god

[00:05:48] Yeah, right or yeah, it sounds it sounds too close to not be maybe but I don't know

[00:05:54] It might be a different 25

[00:05:56] When I was checking the notes, um some said yeah, it was the same 25 and others were like no, no

[00:06:01] No, this is a different 25 got it and they were worshiping some other god, right?

[00:06:04] Like the ones that were in the last chapter

[00:06:06] They were worshiping an egyptian sun god got it if I'm not mistaken

[00:06:10] Which actually that would make sense because there if it's the gate facing east that would be where the sun comes up

[00:06:16] So that actually does make some sense. You know and I saw among them

[00:06:21] Jay asinaya son of azer

[00:06:23] And pelotaya son of benaya

[00:06:26] Leaders of the people. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, the lord says to me. He says son of man

[00:06:33] Yamir human

[00:06:35] These are the men who are plotting evil and giving wicked advice in this city

[00:06:41] Okay, they say heaven our house has been recently rebuilt

[00:06:46] This city is a pot and we are the meat in it

[00:06:49] I mean, he's not completely wrong. We cookin. Yeah, why we cook it? They've been treated

[00:06:55] I mean they've they've been in a bad spot, you know, so they're not wrong

[00:06:59] therefore

[00:07:00] Prophecy against them

[00:07:02] prophecy son of man

[00:07:04] Yamir tell tell them that they're shit, right? But how do you gonna you're in Babylon?

[00:07:09] You know, you're in a prophecy against them from like, you know a distant land

[00:07:12] Yeah, I have no idea like they're gonna give a fuck. I don't really get it. All right

[00:07:16] Then the spirit of the lord came on me

[00:07:19] Eww

[00:07:20] And he told me to say this is what the lord says

[00:07:24] That is what you are saying you leaders in Israel, but I know what is going through your mind

[00:07:29] You have killed many people in this city and filled its streets with the dead

[00:07:33] Therefore, this is what the sovereign lord says

[00:07:36] The bodies you've thrown there are the meat and hold on. Hold on just a second

[00:07:41] God is pissed off because they're killing people. Uh-huh his answer to that is to kill people

[00:07:47] Yes, the fuck this is so stupid. It's childish like what what kind of fucking answer

[00:07:54] You're you're gonna criticize them for the same fucking thing

[00:07:57] You're gonna do and we're not supposed to question you because you're the sovereign lord and you're the god of whatever and

[00:08:04] Fuck cares man. You're an asshole fear the lord. I don't fear. I don't he's a fucking dick

[00:08:10] Obviously, they don't either. They've been

[00:08:12] Praising all kinds of gods. Yeah. Yeah. No, I mean, yeah, there's there's there's never been any like throughout the bible

[00:08:18] There's been very little fear of the god that is in the bible. Correct. It has been

[00:08:24] Certain people who are promoting this god who want them to fear him

[00:08:28] But they just don't and i'm still gonna say no more than they fear any other god that they're worshiping

[00:08:33] Right, and i'm still gonna say that it's a politics thing because

[00:08:37] All of the guys that are like we should totally fear the lord what?

[00:08:43] They're all connected to higher authorities. Right. Yeah, they're all related to

[00:08:48] Families that are part of government. Yeah. Well and these guys are higher up

[00:08:53] They're worshiping an egyptian god probably

[00:08:56] And so like there was a lot of ties to egypt at this point

[00:08:59] I mean, we we even talked about it after the um ex-ow. There was what a million jews in in egypt or something

[00:09:05] Yeah, a bunch. There's a fuck ton in egypt. Yeah, so they obviously had very close ties with egypt and it would make sense that

[00:09:12] Through politics and through social mingling that they're going to end up worshiping some of the same gods

[00:09:17] Right and just that kind of shit makes sense in that context. Exactly, but

[00:09:23] Whatever I just

[00:09:25] This god pisses me off pretty much every time we read a goddamn chapter

[00:09:30] Sorry, go ahead. So god is still talking

[00:09:32] Yeah, the bodies you have thrown there are the meat and this city is the pot

[00:09:37] But i'll drive you out of it

[00:09:39] You fear the sword and the sword is what I will bring against you declares the sovereign lord

[00:09:45] I will drive you out of the city and deliver you into the hands of foreigners

[00:09:49] An inflict punishment on you not foreigners. I'd rather be murdered by anybody but foreigners

[00:09:55] You will fall by the sword bitches and I will execute judgment on you at the borders of israel

[00:10:03] It really would hold a lot more weight if god himself was actually the one executing these people and saying and i'm just saying like

[00:10:09] Yeah, if he was if he was literally bringing divine judgment

[00:10:13] Down on human beings. Yeah, that would hold way more weight than what's happening

[00:10:19] And if he wasn't like whispering and going tell him I said yeah

[00:10:22] Hey, hey tell him what I said. Tell him what I said

[00:10:25] It seems to me that he's pretty fucking weak if he can't just do it himself

[00:10:28] He

[00:10:29] Hypothetically has done it himself before

[00:10:32] But in certain instances when there's written record of what happened

[00:10:36] I was just gonna say isn't it amazing that as soon as they started actually writing this shit down

[00:10:41] Suddenly god can't do stuff anymore

[00:10:44] Weird

[00:10:46] Then you will know that

[00:10:48] I am the lord

[00:10:50] Yeah, this city will not be a pot for you nor will you be the meat in it?

[00:10:56] I will execute judgment on you at the borders of israel and you will know

[00:11:00] What what will they know that that he is the fucking lord

[00:11:03] I am the fucking lord for you have not followed my decrees or kept my laws

[00:11:08] But have conformed to the standards of the nations around you. Yeah

[00:11:12] You know as you do right kind of like if you're in america

[00:11:16] You drive on the right side of the road, but if you go to england you drive on the left side of the road

[00:11:20] Yeah, or even canada. It's it's right next door. Oh, do they drive on the left? They do

[00:11:24] I didn't know that at least I mean that's where we drove when we were up there

[00:11:27] So if it wasn't the case then we were doing all kinds of wrong

[00:11:31] That's funny

[00:11:32] No, because when I was in toronto we weren't driving on the wrong side of the road

[00:11:36] The wrong side of the road. Okay. I'm so sorry. Yeah, that was so

[00:11:40] Ethnocentric. I apologize. Wow

[00:11:44] I could have sworn we were I to be fair. I was there before the last time I was in canada

[00:11:49] Was before I was even driving so I thought I remember driving on the left side

[00:11:53] So I could be mistaken, but maybe it's different per

[00:11:57] Province too or whatever. Yeah, they have provinces out there

[00:12:00] So it could be different in different areas too

[00:12:03] I know it's not that way in toronto because that's where I went with my ex. Yeah, and

[00:12:09] There's no way he could have driven

[00:12:11] That's in Quebec other side of the road. I went to Ontario. So

[00:12:15] Maybe Ontario is different. I don't know. I don't know one of our one of our

[00:12:19] Canadian listeners needs to reach out to us and let us know

[00:12:21] I guess we could probably just google it after we're done, but it's more fun hearing from our listeners

[00:12:25] I know I love it when y'all tell us how dumb we are and correct us, right? Yeah, tell us the ways of the Canadian driving

[00:12:33] Now as I was prophesying

[00:12:36] Pellatia son of benaya died

[00:12:39] He just fell over fucking dead. Okay. Okay. Yeah, so I'm like I'm aziki and I'm like blah blah blah god says blah blah blah

[00:12:46] And then I'm like holy shit because pelletia just dropped over dead

[00:12:50] Is this supposed to be like some sign that god intervened and killed that dude right then and there?

[00:12:54] Maybe I don't know okay, then I fell face down and I cried out in a loud voice

[00:13:00] Alas sovereign lord. Will you completely destroy the remnant of israel?

[00:13:05] Because he killed one guy. Yeah, well, he's like Jesus christ this guy's just standing here and you fucking killed him

[00:13:10] What the hell god talking about killing most of them that's probably worried about one fucking guy

[00:13:15] Well, I mean, but if like the remnant is like dying right in front of you, wouldn't you be like holy shit?

[00:13:22] I but this is these are people okay

[00:13:24] He's having a vision in jerusalem where this is like pre god sending babel on to them

[00:13:31] So the remnant is who he's with currently in the non-vision time right over there in babel on right

[00:13:39] So I don't really understand what he I don't understand because it was right in front of his eyes

[00:13:45] I think it suddenly sunk in

[00:13:47] Like what god is talking about doing got it. Can you imagine if somebody like every time somebody had a fucking heart attack

[00:13:52] And fell over you're like my god god. What did you do? Right?

[00:13:56] Like I can't imagine living like that

[00:13:59] Was this part of your ineffable plan it sucks

[00:14:03] Everywhere I go people die. What the hell god

[00:14:06] All right, the word of the lord came to me

[00:14:10] Son of man yamir fucking human

[00:14:13] The people of jerusalem have said of your fellow exiles and all the other israelites

[00:14:18] The affair we from the lord disley and was given to us is our possession

[00:14:23] Therefore say

[00:14:25] This is what the sovereign lord says

[00:14:27] Although I sent them far away among the nations and scattered them among the countries yet for a little while

[00:14:33] I have been a sanctuary for them in the countries where they have gone

[00:14:37] Therefore say

[00:14:39] This is what the sovereign lord says

[00:14:42] I will gather you from the nations and bring you back from the countries where you've been scattered

[00:14:47] And I will give you back the land of israel again

[00:14:50] Okay, so

[00:14:52] He's saying that he's treating the people that are in exile right now

[00:14:56] Good

[00:14:58] I remember we read early that they were going to have houses and they were going to get married and all this other wonderful shit, right?

[00:15:03] but

[00:15:04] Then why all this there was a big commotion about how they needed to get back because it sucks so bad

[00:15:10] Under the Babylonian exile. Yeah, but it never they never like spelled that out

[00:15:15] Like we're supposed to believe that it was like peaches and cream

[00:15:18] But it was there just under the surface. Yeah, we picked up on it like oh

[00:15:22] It probably sucked. Yeah, like until until cyrus took over until until he came in

[00:15:27] I think it seemed the way they were talking that things weren't so great. Yeah, yeah, so this is kind of a lie

[00:15:35] Yes, and and it's a lie that's propagated throughout this whole section of the bible

[00:15:40] Yeah, yeah, which is funny because like it's it's literal like they're just trying to rewrite history

[00:15:46] It's propaganda. Yeah, it's propaganda. They're like shh. It's fine. Everybody's fine where they it's it's great

[00:15:52] It's fine when they want it to be it's not when they don't want it to be

[00:15:54] It's the worst it's the best right because cyrus was the savior, right?

[00:15:58] Why is he a savior if they were being treated equitably and good exactly?

[00:16:01] That's you don't need a savior for being treated good. That's true. So that's very true. Yep. Yep

[00:16:06] Well, god is continuing to talk. Yeah, they will return to it is real

[00:16:12] And remove all its vile images and detestable idols

[00:16:16] I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them

[00:16:21] I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh

[00:16:27] Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws

[00:16:31] They will be my people and I will be their god

[00:16:35] But as for those whose hearts are devoted to their vile images and detestable idols

[00:16:40] I will bring down on their own heads what they have done declares the sovereign lord. Okay. Yeah, but it was it was all of them sometimes

[00:16:49] They all did that. Yeah, so

[00:16:52] And and moreover from what I understand it kind of increased with them being down in Babylon

[00:16:59] and up in Babylon and it's they were they were worshiping more

[00:17:04] Different gods and learning like Zoroastrianism as multiple times. Yeah in our podcast. Yes, it has

[00:17:10] It actually seems like it heavily influenced the direction that

[00:17:14] Um christianity went in like and Judaism for that matter Judaism on into christianity. Yeah, yeah

[00:17:21] So I mean it increased the magic of it. They definitely did not stop worshiping other gods

[00:17:25] Or getting influenced by other gods at the very least right right? So yeah, I don't I don't know. Yeah

[00:17:32] Then the cherubim with the wheels beside them

[00:17:36] Spread their wings and the glory of god of israel was above them

[00:17:41] The glory of the lord went up from within the city and stopped above the mountain east of it

[00:17:47] The spirit lifted me up and brought me to the exiles in Babylonia in the vision given by the spirit of god

[00:17:54] Then the vision I had seen went up for me and I told the exiles everything the lord had shown me the end

[00:18:00] Okay

[00:18:01] All right, that's that's exciting. We're done with that vision. Yeah. Yeah before we hop out of here

[00:18:06] I do want to cover real quick because I didn't cover it in the intro

[00:18:08] But um, we are still doing a patreon drive to get some more members
