THE MAN CLOTHED WITH LINEN WITH A WRITER'S INKHORN BY HIS SIDE
Ezekiel 9:1
He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice,
saying, Cause them that have charge over the city [Jerusalem, where the
Temple was located] to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon
in his hand.
Ezekiel 9:2
And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher
gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his
hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn
by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.
Ezekiel 9:3
And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from
the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called
to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side;
Ezekiel 9:4
And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst
of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads
of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in
the midst thereof.
Ezekiel 9:5
And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go
ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither
have ye pity:
Ezekiel 9:6
Slay utterly old and
young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man
upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the
ancient men which were before the house.
Ezekiel 9:7
And he said unto them, Defile the house, and
fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew
in the city.
Ezekiel 9:8
And it came to pass, while they were slaying them,
and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD!
wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon
Jerusalem?
Ezekiel 9:9
Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the
house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of
blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, the LORD
hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.
Ezekiel 9:10
And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare,
neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.
Ezekiel 9:11
And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which
had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as
thou hast commanded me.
Ezekiel chapter nine sets a very harsh tone that is
impossible for the carnal mind to even come close to comprehend mainly with
members in the organized global church environments. Jerusalem is in view in
the above passages of Ezekiel chapter nine.
Has anyone during Old Testament ancient days
actually gone throughout Jerusalem with a cup full of ink (inkhorn) and placed
a mark upon the foreheads of all those who sigh and mourn due to all of the
abominations that were performed within the midst of this city?
An Impossible task because this is highly spiritual
language spoken here.
The only one worthy of this task is our Sovereign
Lord Jesus Christ and He is the one who places this mark or eternal SEAL upon
the heads of all chosen believers.
Yes, chosen elected believers will mourn and sigh at
all the abominations that are done within the midst of this spiritual city of
Jerusalem, which is God’s global and corporate church turned spiritual harlot
at the very end of time because of the abomination of desolation of Satan’s
religious counterfeit army of Gog and Magog (Revelation 20:7-8) invading and
ruling in her.
The man clothed with linen, which had the writer’s
inkhorn by His side is indeed referring to the pre-incarnated Lord and Saviour
Jesus. Reference verses dealing with the man who is clothed with linen are
Ezekiel 10:2-7, Daniel 10:5, Revelation 1:12-20. He is Lord and Saviour and the
“inkhorn” means a cup and/or an ink-stand.
In verse three we read that the glory of God was
gone up from the cherub and called to the man clothed with linen, which had the
writer’s inkhorn and was told to set a mark in the midst of Jerusalem upon the
chosen men of God that sigh and cry for all the abominations and all the
wickedness that be done in the Temple and in the synagogues at that time. This
is all symbolic and metaphorical language God is using.
The mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and
cry in verse four speaks to the individuals who have the seal of the Holy
Spirit of promise (Ephesians 1:13; Ephesians 4:30; II Corinthians 1:21-22;
II Timothy 2:19, Revelation 7:3-4) in their foreheads who are written in the
Lambs book of Life by the blessed Messiah who is the man clothed in linen that
has the writer’s inkhorn to write the names in heaven.
Those who received the mark in their foreheads that
sigh and cry for all the abominations that go on within the corporate/organized
harlot congregations at the very end of time are indeed the chosen elect of God
who are zealous for His holy name.
But behold there is another group of individuals who
are not blessed with having the seal of approval of God’s Spirit in their
foreheads within the global organized harlot congregations in reference to
Jerusalem.
These individuals make up the majority of the
individuals within the congregations at the very end of time who calls
themselves true followers of Jesus, but are the two parts therein that shall be
destroyed and cut off and eternally judged by God as stated in Zechariah 13:8.
The pre-incarnated Messiah who was the man clothed
in linen with the writer’s inkhorn speaks to Ezekiel in verses five and six and
commands him to go after them through the city of Jerusalem and smite them.
The LORD commands Ezekiel to not let his eye spare,
neither have any pity. And slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little
children, and women. This sounds very harsh to the carnal minded person who
makes a profession to be a true believer but is truly not saved and has never
been born from above by God the Holy Spirit.
Also the pre-incarnated Jesus commands Ezekiel not
to come near any man who has the mark, but begin at my sanctuary in verse six.
This is very significant that the LORD commands Ezekiel to start the slaughter
of the masses within the house of God.
This goes in harmony with the overall theme
throughout the Holy Bible where Judgment must begin at the house of God
(Jeremiah 25:16-18). The lost outside world in general are going to be punished
by Christ, but God’s anger is directed first at His so-called people.
They have utterly profaned His holy name. And the
LORD God is jealous for His name’s sake. God is a jealous God. For His name is
Jealous (Exodus 20:5, Exodus 34:14, Deuteronomy 4:24, Deuteronomy 5:9,
Deuteronomy 6:15, Joshua 24:19). And He has every right to be jealous for the
utter wickedness and abominations committed within the harlot corporate church
bodies worldwide and of the outside lost world for Hecreated us to serve His
will and to perform His purpose and to be of His good pleasure.
This command by God to Ezekiel in his flesh was very
grievous to handle, but in the Spirit he was willing and able. Ezekiel agonizes
heavily throughout the whole ordeal while they were slaying the inhabitants of
Jerusalem with the Holy Word of God that is spiritually compared
to a sword (Ephesians 6:17; Hebrews 4:12), and when it came down to only
him left, he fell down upon his face and cried, and said, Ah Sovereign GOD will
you destroy all the remnant of Israel in thy wrath against Jerusalem!
Today, it is so very hard within the land of
Christendom to witness the pure Word of God to anyone who is a part of the
global corporate/organized church bodies. There are so many different types of
denominations of Christ along with their respectative doctrines where most teach
contrary to the truth of God’s Word that they because of these abominable
spiritual high places have to this current day become apostate.
Currently towards the very end of time we are
exactly in the same shoes as Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai,
and Zechariah just to name a few brothers in Christ during the seventy-year
captivity of the literal king of Babylon.
They were all led away as captives from Jerusalem,
the Old Testament state church, into the land of Babylon, which symbolically
depicts the whole world in general that lies in complete spiritual darkness.
