She lusted after men with huge Manhood! - Don’t allow your kids to read this portion of the Bible! So much erotic and gory things!

Ezekiel 23:20

20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses

What was Ezekiel fascinating about in writing like this?

Let’s dig deeper:

Ezekiel 23 is a long allegory about two sisters Ohola and Oholibah, representing Samaria and Jerusalem. Both of these sisters grew up to be prostitutes. Ohola was a prostitute for the Assyrians. God was so angry with her that he had the Assyrians kill her and take away her children.

Oholibah sees her sister’s death but does not stop her prostitution. In fact, she takes it one step further. She goes to the Babylonians and has sex with them. Disgusted by the Babylonians, she moves to the Egyptians. She decides to stay with the Egyptians because their joysticks are like donkey joysticks and their semen is like horse semen.

As uncomfortable as that image might make us, the rest of the story really disturbs me.

“Therefore, Oholibah, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will stir up your lovers against you, those you turned away from in disgust, and I will bring them against you from every side…They will come against you with fury…I will hand you over to them for punishment so they can do with you as they please…They will cut off your nose and ears. Your children will be taken and everything you own will be burned. They will strip you of your clothes and jewels – slaughtering by the sword! They will treat you with hatred and rob you of all you own, leaving you stark naked. This is your fault and your shame will be exposed to all the world. I will force you to drink from your sister’s cup of terror, filled to the brim with scorn and derision, distress and desolation. You will drink it all and smash the cup to pieces, plucking off your breasts in anguish. Yes, you will suffer the full penalty. Then you will know I am the LORD.”

Put yourself in the story. Imagine the scene. The blood-curdling screams as her ears were cut off without mercy. The pain and shame as she was endlessly gang raped by her enemies. Imagine being so desperate for your own death that you give in to the demands to rip off your own breasts with your bare hands. Imagine watching your own children being murdered with swords right in front of you.

Yes, this is an allegorical warning against turning away from God. But, I have to wonder if it is representative of how female prostitutes and adulterers were actually treated.

The loving and merciful God, Jesus presented to us , appears to be different from the Yahweh of the Jews in the Old Testament! I presume that’s why the Jews up till now do not acknowledge Jesus as the messiah and the Son of God ! If God acknowledged Jesus after the baptism by John as His son, then for the Jews to say otherwise probably means He is different from their Yahweh!

Ok
