What is the purpose of displaying all the above verses? You may ask.
There is a thread running through them; A THREAD OF LOVE. An appeal from God to man: LOVE ME! LOVE ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART! LOVE ME WITH ALL YOUR SOUL! LOVE ME WITH ALL YOUR
MIND! LOVE ME WITH ALL YOUR
STRENGTH! BECAUSE I AM LOVE AND HAVE LOVED YOU WITH AN
EVERLASTING LOVE! HOW? LOOK AT THE CROSS! LOOK AT JESUS! LOOK AT THE EMPTY TOMB! I WANT YOU TO LOVE ME! I COMMAND YOU TO LOVE ME!
Consider the following passage where God is
addressing
“Now when I passed by you, and looked at you,
behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and
covered your nakedness: yes, I swore to you, and entered into a covenant with
you, says the Lord Yahweh, and you became mine. Then
washed I you with water; yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and
I anointed you with oil. I clothed you
also with embroidered work, and shod you with sealskin, and I girded you about
with fine linen, and covered you with silk. I decked you with ornaments, and I put
bracelets on your hands, and a chain on your neck. I put a ring on your nose, and ear-rings in
your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head. Thus was you decked with gold and silver; and your clothing was
of fine linen, and silk, and embroidered work; you ate fine flour, and honey,
and oil; and you were exceeding beautiful, and you did prosper to royal estate.
Your renown went forth among the nations for
your beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put on you,
says the Lord Yahweh” [Eze 16:8-14:].
Even as
“But you did trust in your beauty, and played the
prostitute because of your renown, and poured out your prostitution on everyone
who passed by; his it was. You took of
your garments, and made for yourselves high places decked with various colors,
and played the prostitute on them: the like things
shall not come, neither shall it be so. You also took your beautiful jewels of my
gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of
men, and played the prostitute with them; and you took your embroidered garments,
and covered them, and did set my oil and my incense before them. My bread also which I gave you, fine flour,
and oil, and honey, with which I fed you, you did even set it before them for a
sweet savor; and thus it was, says the
Lord Yahweh” [Ezekiel
