Ezekiel 44:6
Ver. 6. And thou shalt say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel,.... This is a character of literal Israel from the beginning, De 9:24, and frequently given it in this prophecy, Eze 2:2 Eze 3:9 and well agrees with these declining churches in the latter day, and even in our times; it represents them as rebellious, because of their disregard to the ordinances of God's house, and to the laws and rules of it; and are not only called "rebellious", but "rebellion" {g} itself; expressive of the greatness of their sin, and the aggravations of it:
thus saith the Lord God, O ye house of Israel, let it suite you of all your abominations; that is, let the abominations you have committed, will worship and superstition, paying a regard to the doctrines and commandments of men, be sufficient; stop and proceed no further; relinquish those things which are so abominable in my sight; let the time past suffice to have wrought them; cease entirely from them; see 1Pe 4:3, these abominations are more particularly expressed in the following words.
