Ezekiel 12 - a vision of the exile to Babylon

 In Ezekiel 12, the Lord commands Ezekiel to show to his people (already in Babylon) about the exile. We read:

16 “I’ll permit a few of them to escape the killing, starvation, and deadly sickness so that they can confess among the foreign countries all the disgusting obscenities they’ve been involved in. They will realize that I am God.”

The Lord is furious about the sins committed in Judah. I am a Brazilian, thousands of years after, reading about the obscenities that they were involved in. The wrath of the Lord shows me how Holy He is, and how he uses his chosen people to show me it.
