Message: Prophecy against Mount Seir (southeast border of Edom)
Time: The word of the Lord to Ezekiel to speak a prophecy against Edom, Mount Seir.
What the Lord is Saying: After reading this chapter one time, two things stand out. One, the phrase "I am the Lord" is used 4 times, and this is a short chapter (15 verses). Second, the word "desolate" (in the NLT) is used 5 times (4 times in the ESV) to describe the condition of Edom or Mount Seir.
The reason that bad times were coming to this people or region was the way they treated Israel during the time at which they were suffering calamity. Rather than being gracious with them, they took advantage of them. And they mocked the Lord. They will be judged in kind.
Promise: Don't mess with God's people.
