Today’s episode contains sexual themes, so parental discretion is advised. Today we get a glimpse of God’s lovingkindness toward Israel as God describes Himself as a Father who adopts an unwanted baby, then as a man who redeems the life of a woman by claiming her as His bride. This woman becomes beautiful through the nurturing love of God, and as she grows in beauty, she begins to trust her beauty more than her husband. This bride is more anxious to please other men than to please her own husband, and therefore His anger is kindled against her. Later, the Lord gives Ezekiel a riddle that finds its answer in future fulfillment, making it more like a parable for us today, wherein Nebuchadnezzar is represented by the first eagle, Jehoiachin is the top of the cedar, the king of Egypt is the second eagle, and King Zedekiah is the vine. ::: Christian Standard Bible translation.
