Evil Bible Quote of the Day for Nov. 26, 2003 from www.EvilBible.com:
God's Sword (Ezekiel 21:13-22 NAB)
"Thus the word of the LORD came to me: Son of man, prophesy! say: Thus
says the LORD: A sword, a sword has been sharpened, a sword, a sword has
been burnished: To work slaughter has it been sharpened, to flash lightning
has it been burnished. Why should I now withdraw it? You have spurned the
rod and every judgment! I have given it over to the burnisher that he might
hold it in his hand, A sword sharpened and burnished to be put in the hand
of a slayer. Cry out and wail, son of man, for it is destined for my
people; It is for all the princes of Israel, victims of the sword with my
people. Therefore, slap your thigh, for the sword has been tested; and why
should it not be so? says the Lord GOD, since you have spurned the rod. As
for you, son of man, prophesy, brushing one hand against the other: While
the sword is doubled and tripled, this sword of slaughter, This great sword
of slaughter which threatens all around, That every heart may tremble; for
many will be the fallen. At all their gates I have appointed the sword for
slaughter, Fashioned to flash lightning, burnished for slaughter. Cleave to
the right! destroy! to the left! wherever your edge is turned. Then I, too,
shall brush one hand against the other and wreak my fury. I, the LORD, have
spoken."
What kind of person would get their moral guidance from an ancient book of
myths and magic that says it is OK to murder, rape, pillage, and plunder?
