这是什么意思？

In Ezekiel 6:3, God is speaking to the land of Israel and all its features, including mountains, hills, rivers, and valleys. He warns that He will bring destruction and war upon these places, specifically targeting their high places where they worship idols.

儿童解释

Imagine you have a beautiful garden where you and your friends play. But one day, a big storm comes and says, 'I’m going to destroy your playground and all your toys.' That’s what God is saying to the land of Israel. He’s upset and wants to stop the bad things happening there.

历史背景

This verse comes from the book of Ezekiel, written around 593-571 BCE. Ezekiel was a prophet who spoke to the people of Israel as they were being taken into exile by the Babylonians. The land and its features are being addressed because they were important places of idol worship.

今日应用

In modern life, this can be seen as a warning against allowing things that are not important to God to take a central place in our lives. Just like God was going to destroy the high places where people worshipped idols, we need to get rid of things that distract us from following God properly.
