Ezekiel 23

Before I start this week’s commentary, I have big news! The very first Bible Fiber book is going to be released on October 1st! The book is a 52-week study of the Twelve Minor Prophets. Do the study of the Twelve Minor Prophets by yourself or in a small group for a comprehensive analysis in twelve months! I am excited to release this book, which has been a labor of love. If you want a reminder when the book launches, go to my website, www.shelleyneese.com and sign up for the Bible Fiber newsletter. I'll have some freebies on the site when it launches.
Now, back to Ezekiel.
This week, we are studying Ezekiel 23, an allegory of two unfaithful sisters: Oholah and Oholibah. Oholah represented Samaria, and Oholibah represented Jerusalem (23:4). The sisters’ relentless pursuit of new lovers allegorically portrayed Samaria and Jerusalem’s flirtations with foreign political alliances and their worship of pagan gods. Because of the sisters’ habitual infidelity, God pronounced severe judgment on them.
