Ezekiel 20:7

⁷ Then said I to them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

Psalms 79:10

¹⁰ Why should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by avenging the blood of thy servants which is shed.

Topic: Second Coming

Summary: As we go forward spiritually, the Lord leads us into and through a wilderness of trial, deprivation, and affliction. Why? Because in that state we become ready to betroth ourselves to the Lord.
