“The Spirit lifted me up ... in visions of God he took me to Jerusalem” (8:3). Although Ezekiel was physically in another land, the Lord showed him what was happening in Jerusalem. In the Temple itself, there was an “idol of jealousy,” and in a secret room, Jerusalem’s elders were worshiping unclean things (8:10). Women were acting out rituals for the false god Tammuz (8:14), while men were bowing down to the sun (8:16). God made it clear that things done publicly or privately were equally visible to Him.

God “marked” those who belonged to Him and thirsted for His ways (9:4). He is the God who sees us and knows our hearts. In public and private, He calls us to holiness.
