What does Ezekiel 6 teach us in You Will Know That I Am the Lord?

In this expository sermon on Ezekiel, Dr. Toby Holt of New Geneva Theological Seminary teaches that God brought covenant judgment upon His own people, Jerusalem, so that a surviving remnant would 'know that I am the Lord' — the most repeated phrase in Ezekiel. Holt shows that Israel's abominations and idolatry, after centuries of patient warning, provoked God's just wrath, yet the covenant discipline never severed His relationship with His people. The sermon's Reformed conclusion is that God's justice against sin and His covenant faithfulness stand together: He disciplines those He loves without casting them away.
