The concept of divine wrath is consistent throughout the Old Testament, where God’s holiness and justice necessitate punishment for sin (e.g., <a href="/deuteronomy/29-24.htm">Deuteronomy 29:24-28</a>). The pouring out of wrath suggests a complete and overwhelming judgment, similar to the imagery used in the flood narrative (Genesis 6-9) and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19). This wrath is not arbitrary but a direct consequence of the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, where disobedience leads to divine retribution (<a href="/leviticus/26-14.htm">Leviticus 26:14-39</a>).<p><b>because of the blood they had shed on the land</b><br>The shedding of blood refers to acts of violence and injustice, which are explicitly condemned in the Mosaic Law (<a href="/exodus/20-13.htm">Exodus 20:13</a>). This phrase highlights the moral and ethical decay within Israel, where the sanctity of life was disregarded. The land, given to Israel as an inheritance, was defiled by these acts, violating the covenant and leading to God’s judgment. This echoes the blood of Abel crying out from the ground (<a href="/genesis/4-10.htm">Genesis 4:10</a>), emphasizing that God is aware of and responds to injustice.<p><b>and because they had defiled it with their idols</b><br>Idolatry was a persistent issue for Israel, directly violating the first two commandments (<a href="/exodus/20-3.htm">Exodus 20:3-4</a>). The presence of idols in the land not only represented spiritual adultery but also led to moral corruption and societal decay. The defilement of the land through idolatry is a recurring theme in the prophets, who often equate idolatry with unfaithfulness to God (<a href="/jeremiah/2-7.htm">Jeremiah 2:7</a>, <a href="/hosea/4.htm">Hosea 4:1-3</a>). This defilement necessitated cleansing, which is a theme that points forward to the ultimate cleansing through Christ, who purifies and redeems (<a href="/hebrews/9-14.htm">Hebrews 9:14</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The sovereign Lord who is speaking through the prophet Ezekiel, expressing His righteous anger and judgment.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The people of Israel who have sinned against God by shedding blood and worshiping idols, leading to their punishment.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_land_of_israel.htm">The Land of Israel</a></b><br>The physical territory given to the Israelites, which they have defiled through their actions.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/i/idols.htm">Idols</a></b><br>The false gods and images that the Israelites worshiped, contrary to God's commandments.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>The prophet through whom God delivers His message of judgment and eventual restoration.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_righteous_wrath.htm">God's Righteous Wrath</a></b><br>God's wrath is a response to sin and injustice.
