Ezekiel 4:5-10
I have assigned you the same number of days as the years of their sin. So for 390 days you will bear the sin of the people of Israel. [SUP]6 [/SUP]‘After you have finished this, lie down again, this time on your right side, and bear the sin of the people of Judah. I have assigned you 40 days, a day for each year.
Ok now here is some more evidence that people did follow Gods word in the old tested because look at the huge difference
only 40 days for the people Judah but for the people of Israel 390 . As we know that Judah
Joshua allocated the land among the twelve tribes. Judah's divinely ordained portion is described in Joshua 15 as encompassing most of the southern portion of the Land of Israel, including Jerusalem.
Joshua 15
New International Version - UK (NIVUK)
Land allotted to Judah
15 The land allotted to the tribe of Judah, according to its clans, extended down to the territory of Edom, to the Desert of Zin in the extreme south.
So judah was massive yes so this clearly says that many where following Gods word and like i pointed in my last post which i will remind you off
Jeremiah 11:14
4"Therefore do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them; for I will not listen when they call to Me because of their disaster. Here the lord is speaking to the jews in the old tesrtement who know him.
And here the lord is saying you are my people dont listen to the other people.
John 10:14
I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me.
,
ok here in the new testement the lord is again saying,, people are in fold who know me and they will never come out of his fold
Ok look at thees two scriptures please and see if you can see what i see.
John 10:27 [SUP]27 [/SUP]My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
john 10:5 [SUP]5 [/SUP]But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognise a stranger’s voice.
I think both these verses are identical to Jeremiah 11:14
all this clearly says to me that people where following Gods commandments now whether they where following all of moses law like cival laws and health laws and ceremonial laws is another matter but they i dont think they where breaking some of the big commandments because they would be stoned for such things.
the commandments like the sabbath here like this sabbath look
Isaiah 58:13-14
New International Version - UK (NIVUK)
[SUP]13 [/SUP]‘If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath
and from doing as you please on my holy day,
if you call the Sabbath a delight
and the Lord’s holy day honorable,
and if you honour it by not going your own way
and not doing as you please or speaking idle words,
[SUP]14 [/SUP]then you will find your joy in the Lord,
and I will cause you to ride in triumph on the heights of the land
and to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob.’
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
quite clearly God said you are people and they where doing this above becuase quite clearly if they where not they would all be dead because something they where stone to death for so that tells we should all honor the sabbath and pray for are brothers and sister to do the same . God bless
