The wrath mentioned is divine, reflecting God's righteous anger against persistent idolatry and injustice. The concept of divine vengeance is consistent with the Old Testament portrayal of God as a just judge (<a href="/deuteronomy/32-35.htm">Deuteronomy 32:35</a>). This phrase underscores the seriousness of sin and the inevitable consequences that follow, aligning with the broader biblical theme of divine retribution (<a href="/romans/12-19.htm">Romans 12:19</a>).<p><b>I have placed her blood on the bare rock</b><br>The imagery of blood on a bare rock suggests exposure and visibility. In ancient Near Eastern cultures, blood was often associated with life and guilt. By placing the blood on a bare rock, God ensures that the guilt of Jerusalem's sins is fully exposed and cannot be hidden. This act symbolizes the public nature of Jerusalem's transgressions and the certainty of judgment. The rock, being bare, signifies that there is no covering or atonement for these sins at this point, highlighting the severity of the situation (<a href="/numbers/35-33.htm">Numbers 35:33</a>).<p><b>so that it would not be covered.</b><br>In biblical terms, covering often relates to atonement or forgiveness (<a href="/psalms/32.htm">Psalm 32:1</a>). The lack of covering here indicates that Jerusalem's sins are laid bare before God and the world, with no immediate provision for forgiveness. This reflects the gravity of the people's rebellion and the necessity of judgment. Theologically, it points to the need for a perfect atonement, which Christians believe is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, whose sacrifice covers sin (1 <a href="/john/2-2.htm">John 2:2</a>). The exposure of sin serves as a call to repentance and a reminder of the need for divine grace.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet of God, called to deliver messages of judgment and hope to the Israelites during their Babylonian exile.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a></b><br>The city symbolically represented in this passage, facing impending judgment due to its sins and rebellion against God.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/b/babylonian_siege.htm">Babylonian Siege</a></b><br>The historical event during which Jerusalem was besieged by Babylon, leading to its eventual destruction in 586 BC.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/g/god's_wrath.htm">God's Wrath</a></b><br>The divine response to the persistent sin and idolatry of Jerusalem, necessitating judgment.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/b/bare_rock.htm">Bare Rock</a></b><br>Symbolizes exposure and the public nature of Jerusalem's sins, which are not hidden from God's sight.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_seriousness_of_sin.htm">The Seriousness of Sin</a></b><br>Sin is not hidden from God, and its consequences are severe.
