Son of man, write down the name of the day, this very day—the king of Babylon started his siege against Jerusalem this very day. Ezekiel 24:2
The prophet was commanded to note the day. But what a day to note! A siege was not fun on either side of the wall. Attackers would do their thing, defenders theirs, and people would die. Later, there would be boredom and hunger, and so on until the siege came to a conclusion. Ezekiel had already demonstrated the end of this particular siege, and it was not good for Jerusalem. And yet, the Lord would have the prophet note the day for posterity. Seems like maybe some counting would begin from the date of this day. While we cannot know certain days, the Lord through the prophet Daniel did give us some Sevens to count. Tick-tock, when does that last Seven begin? Until it does, let us write (sing, speak, preach, witness, et al.) of the Lord and His wonderful mercy and saving grace!
Have a beautiful Friday in Christ the Lord!
