Ezekiel 16:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 16:8

6 “And when I passed by you and saw you struggling in your own blood, I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’ Yes, I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’

7 ^aI made you thrive like a plant in the field; and you grew, matured, and became very beautiful. Your breasts were formed, your hair grew, but you were naked and bare.

8 “When I passed by you again and looked upon you, indeed your time was the time of love; ^aso I spread My wing over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I ^bswore an oath to you and entered into a ^ccovenant with you, and ^dyou became Mine,” says the Lord God.

9 “Then I washed you in water; yes, I thoroughly washed off your blood, and I anointed you with oil.

10 I clothed you in embroidered cloth and gave you sandals of¹ badger skin; I clothed you with fine linen and covered you with silk.

11 I adorned you with ornaments, ^aput bracelets on your wrists, ^band a chain on your neck.

Ezekiel 16:4-14

This is what God did for physical Israel.

However, on the other side of the covenant, the bride was not to be trusted to remain faithful to Him.

The chapter then goes on in detail to number all the acts of harlotry and adultery there were caused against a faithful God by faithless people, by His physical bride in the nation of Israel, those that He had called out and set apart. This is a very stern example to us that we should be mindful of as we are here to be trained to be the spiritual bride of Christ.
