Ezekiel 9:4-6 (ESV Strong's)
And the Lord said to him, “Pass through the city, through Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations that are committed in it.” And to the others he said in my hearing, “Pass through the city after him, and strike. Your eye shall not spare, and you shall show no pity. Kill old men outright, young men and maidens, little children and women, but touch no one on whom is the mark. And begin at my sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the house.
Subject: Judgment of God/Knowledge of God
God knows those who hate sin and those who love sin!! It is obvious from the above passage that God is able to distinguish between those who know Him and love Him and those who pretend to know Him and love Him. We stumble at such discovery. We see someone singing to God in worship services and assume they love God. We only discover later they have a dark side of them and are ravished in sin. God, however, is not blinded as we are. He knows exactly who is with Him and who is not. The above passage is similar to what Christ told His disciples while on this earth:
Matthew 7:21-23 (ESV Strong's)
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
God knows!!!
