SCRIPTURE

"And thou shalt say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: O ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations," — Ezekiel 44:6 (ASV)

And you shall say to the rebellious, even to the house of
Israel
This is a character of literal Israel from the beginning, (Deuteronomy 9:24) , and frequently given it in this prophecy, (Ezekiel 2:2Ezekiel 2:3Ezekiel 2:5–8) (Ezekiel 3:9Ezekiel 3:26Ezekiel 3:27) and well agrees with these declining churches in the latter day, and even in our times; it represents them as rebellious, because of their disregard to the ordinances of God's house, and to the laws and rules of it; and are not only called "rebellious", but "rebellion" F7 itself; expressive of the greatness of their sin, and the aggravations of it: thus saith the Lord God, O you house of Israel, let it suffice you of all
your abominations ;
that is, let the abominations you have committed, will worship and superstition, paying a regard to the doctrines and commandments of men, be sufficient; stop and proceed no further; relinquish those things which are so abominable in my sight; let the time past suffice to have wrought them; cease entirely from them; see (1 Peter 4:3) , these abominations are more particularly expressed in the following words.
