DEFILING THE BED OF LOVE:

“But she increased her harlotry; She LOOKED AT MEN portrayed on the wall, IMAGES OF CHALDEANS portrayed in vermilion,… 16 As soon as her eyes saw them, SHE LUSTED for them And sent messengers to them in Chaldea”. Ezek 23:14-16 

 

We discussed in the previous post that the church prostitute “has NEVER GIVEN UP her harlotry BROUGHT FROM EGYPT”, verse 8. 

Here is the reason why she always doted back to her immoral lovers, even after she is born again. She kept "felling in love" with handsome soldiers in their beautiful uniforms. She only lust after men of statues and wealthy. The Bible said, she increased her harlotry by looking at the PICTURES and IMAGES of men on the wall. She has pictures of great men portrayed in vermilion (in colour print). The picture here is that of a prostitute seeking a lover to care for her and the language is quite graphic. She had no true faith in the living God, so she looked to the worldly guys to help her. 

On her wall, in her phone, are the IMAGES of immoral men. Image refers to the display of male genitals. She has blue films in her handset and watch them secretly when she is alone; defiling her mind. As soon as her eyes saw the images of male genitals, SHE LUSTED for them and sent messages to lure them to bed.

Ladies, if your handsets will be check now, shall we find an immoral films and pictures of worldly men? David said, “I will set nothing wicked before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It shall not cling to me”. Ps. 101:3. Do you set before your eyes vile things? David made a covenant with his eyes to hate the deeds of faithless men; men of perverse heart, but you love it and watch it every day.

Verse 17-18 of Ezek. 23 said, "Then the Babylonians came to her, into the BED OF LOVE, And they defiled her with their immorality; So she was defiled by them, and alienated herself from them. 18 She revealed her harlotry and uncovered her nakedness. Then I alienated Myself from her”. 

Because of what she set before her eyes, it stimulates her sexual desires. Therefore, she had no choice than to invite men into the bed of love and defile it. God alienated Himself from her for she never give up her immorality brought from Egypt. Paul said in Heb 13:4 that “Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge”.
