In Ezekiel 22 we read how the sins of Jerusalem hurt the spirit of the Lord. Leaders abused power and families treated their parents with contempt. There was all kinds of injustice, immorality and idolatry. The Lord then foretold His judgment on these things. We see those same things happening around us today. Some feel if God doesn't do something He will owe an apology to Sodom and Gomorrah. We sometimes forget God is the same God we are reading about today. His mercy gives us a little more time due those standing in the gap (intercessors) praying for His children. Please keep standing in the gap for those you feel led to pray for.
Chapter 23 tells a parable about Samaria and Jerusalem. They both sought after Idolatry and practiced things that were not of the Lord. In God's eyes, seeking other Gods is being unfaithful to Him. He knows what will happen to us if He does not intervene. The consequences will be spiritual death. That is far worse than anything else that could happen to us.
