Ezekiel 11:23 And the glory of the LORD went up from the middle of the city, and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city. I. HOW AVERSE GOD IS TO FORSAKE HIS PEOPLE. Look we to His declarations; look we to examples. II. WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT STEPS BY WHICH HIS DEPARTURE MAY BE DISCOVERED? He withholds — 1. The manifestations of His love. 2. The influences of His grace. 3. The warnings of His Spirit. III. THE DREADFUL STATE OF THOSE WHO ARE FORSAKEN BY HIM. 1. They are delivered up into the hands of their spiritual enemies; 2. They live only to increase their guilt and misery. Apply — (1) How are we to reconcile this doctrine with other parts of Scripture? (2) How are we to avert this awful calamity? (C. Simeon, M. A.)
