Ezekiel 6

Ezekiel 6:1

B. The Destruction of Idolatry and Preservation of a Remnant of the People (Chap. 6)6:1-7 The mountains of Israel are used here to refer to idolatry, since idol shrines (high places) were commonly built on mountains. The land would be punished for its idolatry. 6:8-14 A remnant would be spared; these would remember the Lord in their captivity and loathe themselves for . . . their abominations (vv. 8-10). Idolatry would be punished by pestilence, warfare, and famine (vv. 11-14). In every age, God maintains a remnant testimony for Himselfnot the moral majority but the despised minority.
