I Sought for a Man

Ezekiel 21:1–22:31; Hebrews 10:1-18; Psalm 108:1-13; Proverbs 27:12

I Sought for a Man
And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD. – Ezekiel 22:30-31

The Law Can Never Make the Comers Thereunto Perfect
For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. – Hebrews 10:1-2

It is Not Possible that the Blood of Bulls and Goats Should Take Away Sins
But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, But a body hast thou prepared me: In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come (In the volume of the book it is written of me,) To do thy will, O God. – Hebrews 10:3-7

Sanctified Through the Offering of the Body of Jesus Christ
Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: but this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; from henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. – Hebrews 10:8-14

I Will Put My Laws into Their Hearts
Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, This is the covenant that I will make with them. After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, And in their minds will I write them; – Hebrews 10:15-16

Their Sins and Their Iniquities Will I Remember No More
And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. – Hebrews 10:17-18

I Will Sing Praises Unto Thee Among there Nations
O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: And I will sing praises unto thee among the nations. For thy mercy is great above the heavens: And thy truth reacheth unto the clouds. – Psalm 108:1-4

A Prudent Man Foreseeth Evil
A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; But the simple pass on, and are punished. – Proverbs 27:12
