Insight from Ezekiel<\/p>\n
\u201cAn oracle is any divine pronouncement through a prophet that directs human action in the present or foretells future events. Prophetic oracles in Scripture are usually made up of one or more of the following speech types: indictment, instruction, warning\/punishment, and hope\/salvation. When it comes to declarations of punishment and salvation, it is very important to recognize the close tie between Moses and the later prophets. When the Latter Prophets spoke words of warning and words of hope, they were directly building on the covenant curses and restorations of blessings that Moses spoke in Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 27\u201332. Prophetic oracles of warning\/punishment are words of warning or of imminent punishment against those who have failed to live loyally to the covenant or who have failed to treat God and his people with respect\u2014whether individuals or nations. These oracles specify the outworking of the covenant curses detailed in Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 4, 27\u201328. One example comes in Ezekiel 21:14\u201317. Echoed here is the Mosaic curse of exile and captivity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"give_campaign_id":0,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_crdt_document":""},"class_list":["post-4635","reading-plan","type-reading-plan","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reading-plan\/4635","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reading-plan"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reading-plan"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4635"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
