Message: Ezekiel is carried away by the Son of Man to see the abominations done by the chosen Israelite's.
Time: Ezekiel, before the elders of Judah, in his house.
What the Lord is Saying: Ezekiel saw a form of man before him, a vision of God, and the Son of Man took Ezekiel up with him to look to the north and see (an image of jealousy) the abominations being committed by the people of Israel. Ezekiel saw all the idols that the people had been worshiping. Before him were the leaders committing evil, women weeping for Tammuz (this signified that paganism had deeply affected the women of Israel), men with their backs to the temple worshiping the sun (this was obviously another pagan ritual to honor the sun with their backs to the temple). And there was also the idea that they think it is a big deal, but it is not.
Problem: People willfully reject the Lord, choosing anything else to worship.
Promise: God will be honored.
