Well filled pot

Ezekiel 24., which speaks of Jerusalem as a well-filled pot about to be set on a blazing fire, and allowed to boil till all the contents were consumed, and still to be left till the metal of the pot was red hot. In what sense could this be said to be written for our learning? Because what occurred in the case of Jerusalem would occur in our case under the same circumstances. Jehovah’s complaint was that He had for a long season purged them without any effect (verses 13–14) and would therefore destroy them in judgment. He was busy purging us by the application of His word in various providential ways: and if we remained unpurged, Christ would take up the attitude of an enemy, as shown in the message to the seven Asian ecclesias.
