Ezekiel 9:1-7 GW Then I heard the LORD call out with a loud voice. He said, "Come here, those who are going to punish this city. Each of you should bring your weapon with you." (2) So six men came from the upper north gate. Each one brought a deadly weapon with him. Among them was a person dressed in linen who was carrying paper and pen [inkhorn]. The men came in and stood by the bronze altar. (3) Then the glory of the God of Israel went up from the angels, where it had been, to the temple's entrance. The LORD called to the person dressed in linen who was carrying paper and pen [inkhorn]. (4) The LORD said to that person, "Go throughout the city of Jerusalem [Ancient Jerusalem represented God's presence in the earth in their day. Today, his presence is represented throughout the earth in those individuals who claim they are Christians.], and put a mark on the foreheads of those who sigh and groan about all the disgusting things that are being done in the city." [The "mark" in our forehead is our personal unwavering faith in the Christ.] (5) Then he said to the others as I was listening, "Follow him throughout the city and kill. Don't have any compassion, and don't feel sorry. (6) Kill old men, young men, old women, young women, and children. But don't come near anyone who has a mark on him. Start with my holy place." So they started with the old men in front of the temple. (7) He said to them, "Dishonor the temple! Fill its courtyards with dead people, and then leave." So they went out and killed the people in the city.
Ezekiel 9:1-7 ASV Then he cried in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause ye them that have charge over the city to draw near, every man with his destroying weapon in his hand. (2) And behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lieth toward the north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man in the midst of them clothed in linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side. And they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar. (3) And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer's inkhorn by his side. (4) And Jehovah said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem [Ancient Jerusalem represented God's presence in the earth in their day. Today, his presence is represented throughout the earth in those individuals who claim they are Christians.], and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done in the midst thereof. [The "mark" in our forehead is our personal unwavering faith in the Christ.] (5) And to the others he said in my hearing, Go ye through the city after him, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity; (6) slay utterly the old man, the young man and the virgin, and little children and women; but come not near any man upon whom is the mark: and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the old men that were before the house. (7) And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and smote in the city.
Ezekiel 9:1-7 GNB Then I heard God shout, "Come here, you men who are going to punish the city. Bring your weapons with you." (2) At once six men came from the outer north gate of the Temple, each one carrying a weapon. With them was a man dressed in linen clothes, carrying something to write with. They all came and stood by the bronze altar. (3) Then the dazzling light of the presence of the God of Israel rose up from the winged creatures where it had been, and moved to the entrance of the Temple. The LORD called to the man dressed in linen, (4) "Go through the whole city of Jerusalem [Ancient Jerusalem represented God's presence in the earth in their day. Today, his presence is represented throughout the earth in those individuals who claim they are Christians.] and put a mark on the forehead of everyone who is distressed and troubled because of all the disgusting things being done in the city." [The "mark" in our forehead is our personal unwavering faith in the Christ.] (5) And I heard God say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill. Spare no one; have mercy on no one. (6) Kill the old men, young men, young women, mothers, and children. But don't touch anyone who has the mark on his forehead. Start here at my Temple." So they began with the leaders who were standing there at the Temple. (7) God said to them, "Defile the Temple. Fill its courtyards with corpses. Get to work!" So they began to kill the people in the city.
