"AND THEY SHALL TEACH MY PEOPLE THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE HOLY AND PROFANE, AND CAUSE THEM TO
DISCERN BETWEEN THE UNCLEAN AND THE CLEAN."
Ezekiel 44:23

1:28 AS THE APPEARANCE OF THE BOW God, Presence
THAT IS IN THE CLOUD IN THE DAY OF
RAIN, SO WAS THE APPEARANCE OF THE
BRIGHTNESS ROUND ABOUT. THIS WAS
THE APPEARANCE OF THE LIKENESS OF
THE GLORY OF THE LORD. AND WHEN I
SAW IT, I FELL UPON MY FACE, AND I Fear of God
HEARD A VOICE OF ONE THAT SPAKE.
Awesome effect of God's holiness upon mortal
man.
2:6 AND THOU, SON OF MAN, BE NOT Preachers, Righteous
AFRAID OF THEM, NEITHER BE AFRAID OF
THEIR WORDS, THOUGH BRIERS AND
THORNS BE WITH THEE, AND THOU DOST
DWELL AMONG SCORPIONS: BE NOT A-
FRAID OF THEIR WORDS, NOR BE DIS-
MAYED AT THEIR LOOKS, THOUGH THEY BE
A REBELLIOUS HOUSE. 7. AND THOU
SHALT SPEAK MY WORDS UNTO THEM,
WHETHER THEY WILL HEAR, OR WHETHER
THEY WILL FORBEAR: FOR THEY ARE
MOST REBELLIOUS.
3:7 BUT THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL WILL NOT Preaching Truth
HEARKEN UNTO THEE; FOR THEY WILL NOT
HEARKEN UNTO ME: FOR ALL THE HOUSE
OF ISRAEL ARE IMPUDENT AND HARD-
HEARTED.
Anointing and calling are not indicated by Mercenaries
ones ability to attract and hold large Truth

3:20 AGAIN, WHEN A RIGHTEOUS MAN Backsliders
DOTH TURN FROM HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS,
AND COMMIT INIQUITY, AND I LAY A

DIE: BECAUSE THOU HAST NOT GIVEN

HIM WARNING, HE SHALL DIE IN HIS
SIN, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH HE
HATH DONE SHALL NOT BE REMEMBERED;
BUT HIS BLOOD WILL I REQUIRE AT
THINE HAND.
Righteousness shall not be remembered from Holiness
the past after our backslidings. The good-
ness before rebellion will not save you!
Righteousness must be up-to-date. We must
have integrity now and be in good standing
this day to insure your eternal destiny.
Holiness is morality up-to-date.
8:10 SO I WENT IN AND SAW; AND Apostasy
BEHOLD EVERY FORM OF CREEPING
THINGS, AND ABOMINABLE BEASTS, AND
ALL THE IDOLS OF THE HOUSE OF
ISRAEL, POURTRAYED UPON THE WALL
ROUND ABOUT. (Amos 5:23)
16:49 BEHOLD, THIS WAS THE INIQUITY
OF THY SISTER SODOM, PRIDE, FULNESS
OF BREAD, AND ABUNDANCE OF IDLENESS
WAS IN HER AND IN HER DAUGHTERS,
NEITHER DID SHE STRENGTHEN THE HAND
OF THE POOR AND NEEDY. 50. AND THEY
WERE HAUGHTY, AND COMMITTED ABOMI-
NATION BEFORE ME: THEREFORE I TOOK
THEM AWAY AS I SAW GOOD.
EZEKIEL 18
Reveals God's righteous judgment of all in-
iquity.
Note: Chapter 33 of Ezekiel is a repeat of
chapter 18, which reveals God's extreme con-
cern in the matter of iniquity found in His
people.
18:4 BEHOLD, ALL SOULS ARE MINE; AS Righteousness
THE SOUL OF THE FATHER, SO ALSO THE Defined
SOUL OF THE SON IS MINE: THE SOUL
THAT SINNETH, IT SHALL DIE. 5. BUT
IF A MAN BE JUST, AND DO THAT WHICH Abomination
IS LAWFUL AND RIGHT, 6. AND HATH
NOT EATEN UPON THE MOUNTAINS, Integrity
NEITHER HATH LIFTED UP HIS EYES TO
THE IDOLS OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL,
NEITHER HATH DEFILED HIS NEIGHBOUR'S
WIFE, NEITHER HATH COME NEAR TO A

8. HE THAT HATH NOT GIVEN FORTH UPON Responsibility

HATH WALKED IN MY STATUTES, AND HATH Just
KEPT MY JUDGMENTS, TO DEAL TRULY; HE
IS JUST, HE SHALL SURELY LIVE, SAITH
THE LORD GOD. 10. IF HE BEGET A SON
THAT IS A ROBBER, A SHEDDER OF
BLOOD, AND THAT DOETH THE LIKE TO
ANY ONE OF THESE THINGS, 11. AND
THAT DOETH NOT ANY OF THOSE DUTIES,
BUT EVEN HATH EATEN UPON THE
MOUNTAINS, AND DEFILED HIS
NEIGHBOUR'S WIFE, 12. HATH OP-
PRESSED THE POOR AND NEEDY, HATH

STORED THE PLEDGE, AND HATH LIFTED
UP HIS EYES TO THE IDOLS, HATH COM-
MITTED ABOMINATION, 13. HATH GIVEN
FORTH UPON USURY, AND HATH TAKEN
INCREASE: SHALL HE THEN LIVE? HE
SHALL NOT LIVE: HE HATH DONE ALL
THESE ABOMINATIONS; HE SHALL SURELY
DIE; HIS BLOOD SHALL BE UPON HIM.
18. AS FOR HIS FATHER, BECAUSE HE
CRUELLY OPPRESSED, SPOILED HIS
BROTHER BY VIOLENCE, AND DID THAT
WHICH IS NOT GOOD AMONG HIS PEOPLE,
LO, EVEN HE SHALL DIE IN HIS INIQUI-
TY. 19. YET SAY YE, WHY? DOTH NOT God's Justice
THE SON BEAR THE INIQUITY OF THE
FATHER? WHEN THE SON HATH DONE THAT
WHICH IS LAWFUL AND RIGHT, AND HATH
KEPT ALL MY STATUTES, AND HATH DONE
THEM, HE SHALL SURELY LIVE.
Each man stands by himself to be held solely
responsible for his/her own deeds. Remember
the case of the good father who had the bad
son? Luke 15:11-24. Righteousness is not
inherited! Nor does an evil son take away
from his fathers righteousness in God's
sight.

LORD,
I FIND THE GENEALOGY OF MY SAVIOR
STRANGELY CHECKERED
WITH FOUR REMARKABLE CHANGES
IN FOUR GENERATIONS.
REHOBOAM BEGAT ABIA: Father
A BAD FATHER BEGAT A BAD SON. Son
ABIA BEGAT ASA:
A BAD FATHER AND A GOOD SON. Evil
ASA BEGAT JEHOSHAPHAT: Good
A GOOD FATHER AND A GOOD SON.
JEHOSHAPHAT BEGAT JORAM:
A GOOD FATHER AND A BAD SON.
I SEE, LORD, FROM HENCE
THAT MY FATHER'S PIETY CANNOT BE CARRIED
OVER TO MY ACCOUNT:
THAT IS BAD NEWS FOR ME.
BUT I SEE ALSO
THAT ACTUAL IMPIETY IS NOT HEREDITARY:
THAT IS GOOD NEWS FOR MY SON.
-Thomas Fuller
18:20 THE SOUL THAT SINNETH, IT
SHALL DIE. THE SON SHALL NOT BEAR Responsibility
THE INIQUITY OF THE FATHER, NEITHER Moral
SHALL THE FATHER BEAR THE INIQUITY
OF THE SON: THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF Righteousness
THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL BE UPON HIM, AND
THE WICKEDNESS OF THE WICKED SHALL
BE UPON HIM. 21. BUT IF THE WICKED
WILL TURN FROM ALL HIS SINS THAT HE Repentance
HATH COMMITTED, AND KEEP ALL MY Law
STATUTES, AND DO THAT WHICH IS LAW- God's Justice
FUL AND RIGHT, HE SHALL SURELY LIVE,
HE SHALL NOT DIE.
The proof of possessing a new nature through
a new creation experience is compatibility
with the moral laws of God.
"And keep them and do them." To live "right"
is to live within (keep) the law. Keeping
(obedience) the law produces right. So, if
you are living a spiritual life, it is the
same as keeping the moral law. Romans 8:4;
13:10; See Heart Holiness.
18:22 ALL HIS TRANSGRESSIONS THAT HE God's Justice
HATH COMMITTED, THEY SHALL NOT BE
EZEKIEL SALT GUIDE TO PRACTICAL HOLINESS
____________________________________________________________
MENTIONED UNTO HIM: IN HIS RIGHT-
EOUSENSS THAT HE HATH DONE HE SHALL
LIVE.
18:23 HAVE I ANY PLEASURE AT ALL Death of Wicked
THAT THE WICKED SHOULD DIE? SAITH
THE LORD GOD: AND NOT THAT HE God's Justice
SHOULD RETURN FROM HIS WAYS, AND Repentance
LIVE?
God's feelings will not interfere with His
justness. But see God pleading with the
sinner - see His compassion for the sinner,
He wants so much for him to turn and not
burn.
18:24 BUT WHEN THE RIGHTEOUS TURNETH God's Justice
AWAY FROM HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND
COMMITTETH INIQUITY, AND DOETH
ACCORDING TO ALL THE ABOMINATIONS
THAT THE WICKED MAN DOETH, SHALL HE
LIVE? ALL HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT HE
HATH DONE SHALL NOT BE MENTIONED:
IN HIS TRESPASS THAT HE HATH
TRESPASSED, AND IN HIS SIN THAT HE
HATH SINNED, IN THEM SHALL HE DIE.
18:25 YET YE SAY, THE WAY OF THE God's Justice
LORD IS NOT EQUAL. HEAR NOW, O
HOUSE OF ISRAEL; IS NOT MY WAY
EQUAL? ARE NOT YOUR WAYS UNEQUAL?
"Oh, God wouldn't do that." Man's twisted
mind distorts his concept of God. Willful
sin attempts to neutralize the moral
revelation and alter the perfect justice of
God rather than conform.
A wicked man will even argue with a perfect
God. Human perversion contends with perfect
justice.
18:26 WHEN A RIGHTEOUS MAN TURNETH Initiative of Believer
AWAY FROM HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND
COMMITTETH INIQUITY, AND DIETH IN Death of Wicked
THEM; FOR HIS INIQUITY THAT HE HATH
DONE SHALL HE DIE. 27. AGAIN, WHEN
THE WICKED MAN TURNETH AWAY FROM HIS Precept/Promise
WICKEDNESS THAT HE HATH COMMITTED,
AND DOETH THAT WHICH IS LAWFUL AND God's Justice
RIGHT, HE SHALL SAVE HIS SOUL ALIVE.

18:28 BECAUSE HE CONSIDERETH, AND Exomologesis
TURNETH AWAY FROM ALL HIS TRANS-
GRESSIONS THAT HE HATH COMMITTED, HE Transgression
SHALL SURELY LIVE, HE SHALL NOT DIE.
Note: "Shall turn from all his transgressions Repentance
that he hath committed." A complete
departure from and confession of all trans- Conversion
gressions.
18:30 THEREFORE I WILL JUDGE YOU, O Exomologesis
HOUSE OF ISRAEL, EVERY ONE ACCORDING
TO HIS WAYS, SAITH THE LORD GOD.
REPENT, AND TURN YOURSELVES FROM ALL
YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS; SO INIQUITY
SHALL NOT BE YOUR RUIN. 31. CAST Repentance
AWAY FROM YOU ALL YOUR TRANS-
GRESSIONS, WHEREBY YE HAVE TRANS-
GRESSED; AND MAKE YOU A NEW HEART
AND A NEW SPIRIT: FOR WHY WILL YE
DIE, O HOUSE OF ISRAEL?
"Iniquity," their own inventions will destroy Initiative of Believer
them. Sin is moral disorder that breeds
every kind of violence and disease. Sin, to
continue in it is to "self-destruct". Not
God, but their own iniquity will destroy
them!
"Make you a new heart" - soul. These means Transformation
of transformation were available under the
old covenant, as well as today under grace. Heart Holiness
Romans 12:2
18:32 FOR I HAVE NO PLEASURE IN THE Death
DEATH OF HIM THAT DIETH, SAITH THE Conversion
LORD GOD: WHEREFORE TURN YOUR- Repentance
SELVES, AND LIVE YE.
God hurts to see man destroying himself in
sin and rebellion.
22:10 IN THEE HAVE THEY DISCOVERED
THEIR FATHERS' NAKEDNESS: IN THEE
HAVE THEY HUMBLED HER THAT WAS SET
APART FOR POLLUTION.
IS "NAKEDNESS" RELATIVE TO CULTURE AND
INDIVIDUALS?
What is Nakedness? Nakedness
1. Total nudity. Ezekiel 28:42, Job 1:21.
EZEKIEL SALT GUIDE TO PRACTICAL HOLINESS
____________________________________________________________
2. Exposure of breasts, pubic hair, thigh,
leg. Ezekiel 16:7, Isaiah 47:2.
3. In undergarments. John 21:6,7; I Samuel
19:24
4. Poorly dressed. James 2
Absolute Statements drawn from God's Word.
1. Nakedness is a shame. Revelation 3:18;
16:15; Ezekiel 28:42.
2. Nakedness is demonically related. Mark 5.
3. Nakedness is for the purpose of sexual
acts. Genesis 9:23; Leviticus 18:6,19;
Ezekiel 16; 23:18.
4. Nakedness is an association to prosti-
tution. Ezekiel 23:29.
5. Nakedness many times is the result of
drunkenness. Habakkuk 2:15.
6. Nakedness is associated with filth and
vileness, not purity and chastity.
7. Nakedness is to be judged. Lamentations
1:8; Ezekiel 23:27-29.
Other Observations.
1. In man's first culture God clothed man
fully.
2. If nakedness is relative, why doesn't man
tend toward fully clothing himself instead
of the other extreme of fully undressing.
3. This undressing comes from television and
the world's style makers.
4. Men and women dress to allure attention.
5. The rationale of relativity is to absolve
ourselves from responsibility in that area
of concern.
We live in a time of license. Even
Christians believe nakedness is "relative."
That is, it depends on what society has
become conditioned to, what conscience
allows.
Nakedness is "relative" to sin! It is only
the privilege of those who are joined in
wedlock. The essence of uninhibited naked-
ness is illicit sexual behavior, animalism
and disease.
22:26 HER PRIESTS HAVE VIOLATED MY Pastors, False
LAW, AND HAVE PROFANED MINE HOLY

"The Bible is the history of sin. It begins
with Satan's fall and the effect of his fall
upon the kingdom. The world which started
with Adam and Eve was apparently created to
be the great process by which God will re-
place the fallen angels who followed Lucifer
in the rebellion. This explanation gives
purpose to creation and the conditions
existing before and after the fall of Adam
and Eve and fits well with the biblical
scheme of the ages." *1

THE PEOPLE SHALL BE ASTONISHED AT
THEE: THOU SHALT BE A TERROR, AND
NEVER SHALT THOU BE ANY MORE.

We should note here that Satan's devices
today will very much reflect the original
virtues which God created in him. He will
use these qualities originally vested in him
to entice man and distract him from God's
plan for his life, from the commandment, from
pursuing holiness; to carry out his princely
rule over those who join him in rebellion
against God. Namely, those who are disobedi-
ent and not converted by the Gospel of Christ
in this world.
==========================
*1 DAOUD, Complete Bible Course That Builds
Strong Christians That are Useful to God!
1. Verse 12, "Full of wisdom." "A mind is a Wisdom
terrible thing to waste" because a wasted
mind always means a wasted soul. Satan Mind
was full of intellectual power and is
using that power today by deceiving men
with words and being the master of all
semantical languages in the world, in-
cluding the confusion and deceptions
placed upon us by the sciences, and in
particular evolution, intellectualism, and
all manipulations of human behavior. From
the hawking of the carnival barker to
atheistic humanism being spewed out in the
college and university classrooms. In
recent history the world has been pro-
foundly affected by the "wisdom" of such
names as, Marx, Engles, Hitler, Lenin,
Keyne, Blake, Oxnom, Spencer, and Mao.
Satan's only power is his extreme clever-
ness. We must never underestimate Satan's
"corrupted wisdom." Verse 17.
2. Verse 12, "Perfect in beauty." The in- Body
satiable appetite of man for that which is Cosmetology
aesthetic is being fed by Satanic emphasis
on artificial beauty. Beauty, chiefest Pride
among those forces affecting the conduct Glamour
of modern man. The deceptive quality upon
which man bases so much of his conduct.
3. Verse 13, "Every precious stone was thy
covering," (The sardius, topaz, diamond,
beryl, onyx, jasper, sapphire, emerald, Vanity
carbuncle, and gold.) These precious gems
and metals constitute the value system of
the carnal nature. For these things men Riches

lower themselves to animals, commit
heinous crimes and make for themselves
beds in hell. It is Lucifer who drives
men to ruination with these fallen
celestial qualities. In heaven the walls
and streets will be covered with these
worthless beauties.
4. Verse 13, "Thy tabrets and of thy pipes
was prepared in thee in the day that thou Music
wast created." Music in the last days
has especially challenged the good
judgment of holiness people. Neo-
Christians, who we might call the off-
spring of neo-liberalism, have embraced
rock music conceived in the bosom of the
psychedelic culture and pounded out its
beat at disco joints and dance halls
across the land and around the world to
further debase man and move him further
from fellowship with God. Yet the new
generation feels that this music can be
"dedicated and used for the Lord" as any
other music. What is not fully realized
by some of the young neo-liberals, is that
there was a time when music in the world
had its acceptable sounds and words that
were not near as diametric to Christian
thought, purpose and practice, but in the
last age the rock beat, having come from Rock Sound
the drug addicted sub-culture, is demonic
to its core and very different from the
music of ages past. There was a time when
the music of the world and the music of
the church had its compatible elements,
but in psychedelic music there is no com-
patibility! The Christian who does not
accept this, has failed to appropriate the
Spirit's wisdom.
36:25 THEN WILL I SPRINKLE CLEAN
WATER UPON YOU, AND YE SHALL BE
CLEAN: FROM ALL YOUR FILTHINESS, Purity
AND FROM ALL YOUR IDOLS, WILL I
CLEANSE YOU.
"Idolatry - no matter who or what we idolize Idolatry
- is at the very root of all filthiness; for
it is spiritual adultery and heart wandering
from God. Nothing but divine cleansing can
wholly remove it." *1

WITHIN YOU, AND CAUSE YOU TO WALK IN
MY STATUTES, AND YE SHALL KEEP MY
JUDGMENTS, AND DO THEM. 29. I WILL Salvation

The indwelling Spirit saves us from all - not
some - not certain kinds - not to a certain
degree - but from all uncleanness [in human
nature and the worldly environment]. *1
44:23 AND THEY SHALL TEACH MY Bible Teaching
PEOPLE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE
HOLY AND PROFANE, AND CAUSE THEM TO Truth
DISCERN BETWEEN THE UNCLEAN AND THE Purity
CLEAN. (Nehemiah 8:8)
"And what other business [does a true] holy
ministry have? For what else does it exist?" *1
==========================
*1 THOMPSON, PEPPER, Daily Holiness Textbook
I. "TEACH THEM"
All depends upon the teachableness of Teaching
the disciple. 2 Timothy 3:7 - "Ever
learning." To be taught we must be
teachable.
II. "MY PEOPLE"
God's people do need teaching on this Fellowship with God
subject from God anointed, ordained
ministries. Why? Because the priests
are supposed to only have God's interest
at heart. This dedication is necessary
in God's teachers. But, oh, the beauti- Intimacy with God
ful sound of these words, "My people."
To think, He calls me His own - that I
am His. I must not spoil the beauty of
this sound - I must seek His holiness,
keep His commandments with joy and song
and seek always to please Him!

III. "THE DIFFERENCE"
Difference infers "differ," meaning
"opposites" or opposing, contrast in.
To cleave to what is good and abhor evil
- opposite action toward opposite
values.
IV. "BETWEEN THE HOLY AND PROFANE"
Any that is not holy is profane. Holy
implies it is morally pure and accept-
able to the holy nature. Profane; to
treat as common, as not holy.
V. "AND CAUSE THEM TO DISCERN"
Before the priests were to transmit Righteousness
their judgment to the people concerning
the holy and profane what was holy and Commandments
"common."
VI. "BETWEEN THE UNCLEAN AND THE CLEAN"
This seems to be a reference to the law Cleanliness
of God and those things so defined in
the law of Moses. However, the
important word in the text, "to cause my
people ... to know."
44:24 AND IN CONTROVERSY THEY SHALL Justice
STAND IN JUDGMENT; AND THEY SHALL Diligence
JUDGE IT ACCORDING TO MY JUDGMENTS: Morals
AND THEY SHALL KEEP MY LAWS AND MY Holiness
STATUTES IN ALL MINE ASSEMBLIES; AND
THEY SHALL HALLOW MY SABBATHS.
Another of God's many, many calls to His
people to find moral life through moral truth
and principle.
