The Lord will not answer those who worship false gods and work iniquity. Ezekiel preaches repentance. The people would not be saved though Noah, Daniel, and Job ministered among them. Jerusalem, as a useless vine, will be burned. Jerusalem has become as a harlot, reveling in her idols and worshiping false gods. She has partaken of all the sins of Egypt and the nations round about, and she is rejected. Yet in the last days, the Lord will again establish his covenant with her. Ezekiel shows in a parable how Israel, while subject to Babylon, wrongfully sought help from Egypt. Yet the Lord will bring forth in the last days a goodly tree from the cedars of Lebanon.
