Yahweh, Day 214

Day 214

Yahweh

"I will make the land a desolate waste..."

"I will stretch out My hand against them, and wherever they live I will make the land a desolate waste, from the wilderness to Diblah. Then they will know that I am Yahweh."
Ezekiel 6:14 (Holman Christian Standard Bible)

Yahweh here claims the right to control the creation that He has created. This includes the forces of nature and the environment.

There is a distinction between being a good steward of earth's resources ... and controlling earth and her environment itself. Man desires to control his environment, as when the builders of the Tower of Babel boasted that man would not be divided because of their constructed edifice. Yahweh then demonstrated that man could not control by man's efforts and dreams by confusing man's language and splitting the earth apart.

Yahweh still demonstrates that He alone controls His creation ... for His own purposes.

This is in The Name.
