95-Disputations on Ezekiel 1:2 and Jehovah Establishes

By Dr. M.A. Petillo & Reformed Baptist Preacher

“…On the fifth of the month in the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s exile…” (Ezekiel 1:2 NASB).

1.     A holy Triune God establishes His decree in the outcome of His divine providence in His design in His foredetermined intent that is grounded in absolute, transcendent and authentic holiness.

2.     A holy Triune God establishes His purpose in eternity past that is the outcome of the purpose of His design in His written providence beforehand for the glory of the Triune Majesty,

3.     There is a sense where a holy Triune God has written history before it began with intrinsic holiness apart from the sinfulness of sin and devoid of sinful violence to the fallen creature but an establishment of His plan whether for justice or mercy.

4.     Jehoiachin was the last king of Judah but out of the tribe of Judah came the unique, divine and everlasting King of kings Who is Incarnate Deity that is Jesus Christ alone.

5.     Jehoiachin means Jehovah establishes in His detailed providence that raised him up as a king but over turned a king to the ultimate bitterness of spite and burning up the Book of Jeremiah.

6.     Homosexual evildoers (my constitutional right to say) will cut out of the biblical Scriptures the condemnation of homosexual activity, behavior and sinfulness because it is a holy God turning a rebellious people over to themselves to establish His justice for the Son’s preparation of the wicked unto the Day of Judgment.

7.     Hitler burned the biblical Scriptures because of his occultisms that brought the curse of Judas Iscariot upon him where he committed suicide where that in itself destroys his monuments of monstrosities by his own precedence of self-destruction in approbation of a deathless death and a lifeless life that is scorched by the flames of hell to repay a sinner for his criminal occultism. 

8.     The meaning of this wicked king of Judah reflects the Triune God as the First Cause of all things but establishes this wicked king as the Second Cause without approbation of sin that God controls for His glory unto justice and mercy for the honor of the Son as Judge or Savior.

9.     A holy Triune God orders time through his fallen creatures in how they keep track of history through different methods of calendars of on-going history.

10.                        This biblical verse is especially special because the Bible speaks of real historical accounts of kings and occasions, timelines and dates where the Quran does not possess this divine superintendence by the Spirit of God in His holy written Word through holy men of old of historical, biblical and divine history.  

11.                        The biblical Scriptures burn the heart with spiritual life.

12.                        The Incarnate Word of life in human flesh burns the heart of elect sinners unto the Spirit-produced flame unto spiritual life.

13.                        The enemies of God burn the Bible with physical flames in hatred against King Jesus like this wicked king of Judah.

14.                        Kings are brought about by a holy God or taken down by a holy God because He chooses according to His good pleasure.

15.                        The Triune Lord establishes His purpose in all of history.

16.                        The Father of lights establishes the fall of Adam for the glory of the mercy of His Son or for the glory of the justice of His Son.

17.                        The Spirit of God sustains, maintains and governs all things because He honors the design of the Father in the display of all things according to His sovereign purpose for His honor.

18.                        The eternal Son of God is about the glory of God that Ezekiel would see because the Father is concerned about the central glory of His Son among those dry bones in his fallen creation.  The Son ransomed the people of God to the Father, but He also purchased them from every corner of the earth.

19.                        God uses wicked kings for His purposes but He is without blame for their sin but they bear their full accountability before a good God regarding their cosmic treason that has violated the innocence of a holy Triune God.

20.                        The Lord establishes His divine purpose of His Son unto eternal glory unto everlasting mercy for His elect people of God.

21.                        The Lord establishes His cosmic plan through His Spirit accompanying His written Word to make men willing to truly believe in the eternal Son that is the Father’s design to bring Himself glory unto matchless mercy for the matchless Son.

22.                        The Triune Lord establishes His foredetermined intent in time.

23.                        The Triune Lord designs the outcome time by His work.

24.                        This wicked king Jehoiachin adds curses to himself by God.

25.                        There is no curse upon those of the Lamb’s blood.

26.                        The Father establishes spiritual salvation through His Son.

27.                        The Son establishes redemption through His life and death.

28.                        The Spirit establishes the rebirth of His people in the gift of His Son in His unified righteousness imputed by the gift of faith.

29.                        The curse resides with those of reprobation unto condemnation.

30.                        The choice of God’s curse is for those not of the Cross of Jesus.

31.                        The curse of reprobation does not possess imputation of Jesus.

32.                        There is no limit of the cosmic suffering of reprobation.

33.                        The suffering of reprobation happens any day or month.

34.                        There is worse suffering for reprobates because of eternal damnation but it does not compare in suffering of godliness because of the untouchable wrath of the Father upon the wicked for everlasting destruction.

35.                        Suffering unto reprobation is Jehovah establishing His justice.

36.                        Suffering unto election is Jehovah establishing the face of Jesus.

37.                        General revelation is about the glory of the handiwork of God.

38.                        Special revelation is about the glory of His superintendence.

39.                        The gloriousness of God happens everyday to exalt the Son unto wrath or mercy in the Father’s design by His Spirit upon the fallen creatures to keep His foredetermined purpose.

40.                        Everyday has been written in time and space beforehand.

41.                        Every month has been written in time and space beforehand.

42.                        Everyday is about His written plan beforehand that happens in time and space regarding compatibilistic freedom not libertarian freedom that exalts God’s glory for justice or mercy.

43.                        There is a meaning from God everyday for every people, tongue, tribe and nation whether for the good of justice or the good of mercy.

44.                        If a day emerges the sinfulness of sin, is not this day for the glory of the Cross and afterwards redeeming the time in consistent, constant and continuous radical good to reflect the good of the Cross because what is better than Jesus at His Cross?

45.                        What if your darkest sin as an elect sinner is meant for the greatest gift of the blood of the Lamb?

46.                        What if the greatest gift of the blood of the Lamb is to live a godly life unto the glory of the eternal Son?

47.                        What if the glory of the application of the Cross everyday and every month by the Spirit of God in honoring His Word on 1 John 1:9 is for the honor of Jesus Christ for the mercy of His people in the Father’s design?

48.                        Everyday and every month are about Jesus Christ and His glory.

49.                        Are you using your day for God’s foredetermined glory unto radical good?  If so, why are you voiceless for helpless people?

50.                        Are you using your month for Jesus and His glory?  If so, why are your hands at your side and you lift not a finger to help?

51.                        If the Father’s design was the Day of the Cross in the Good Friday of the Fifth Day in the greatest event in human history, what do you suppose you are doing to reflect His awesome work though it is unmatchable?

52.                        Jehovah established the Cross of Jesus at the Fifth Day that is known as Good Friday where no sinners approaches to add to it because of the crux of redemption in His Cross.

53.                        The unmatchable fifth day of all of history is the Cross of Jesus.

54.                        The Cross of Jesus is when the debt was paid in full for His people because of the intent of Jesus for His elect alone.

55.                        If the fifth day is combined with the fifth month, it refers to ten that refers to completion but completion of what?  In basic terms without heretical worship of numbers, it refers to the all-sufficiency of the visions of God in Ezekiel’s revelation that combines with tota scriptura (all of Scripture).

56.                        The fifth day had something to do with the heavens like Ezekiel’s revelation in creation of the earth in six days, but the former pertains to general revelation (all of God’s creation) and the latter refers to special revelation (all of God’s 66 Books of Scripture).

57.                        In the months of the public teaching of Jesus Christ refers to the whole counsel of God because He was/is Incarnate Wisdom that defies the worldly wisdom of fallen sinners.

58.                        The ministry of Jesus was basically three public years of God-ordained ministry (not five years of ministry) at the command of the Father by the approval of the Spirit where it was the curial divine message of the gospel that is how someone is right with God and godly living.

59.                        Only Triune Wisdom could design divine providence.

60.                        This happened somewhere between 593-588 BC (particularly in Ezekiel Chapter 1).

61.                        The visions of God in Ezekiel refer to wheels of God’s glory.

62.                        The chariots of God’s glory are about God and His revelation.

63.                        Josephus (post-Bible times) viewed chariots in the heavens on clouds of glory from heaven but was reluctant to report of it because of how it sounded but it was reported that the heavenly chariots proclaimed “Let Us Remove Hence” in judgment over Jerusalem in fulfillment of Jesus’ judgment upon Jerusalem.

64.                        The Incarnate One enthroned in the heavens is King Jesus.

65.                        The heavens proclaim the sovereign majesty of Jesus Christ.

66.                        Jesus is King of all time over all nations without deliberation.

67.                        The Father has designed the splendor of the eternal Son.

68.                        The Father and Son send the Spirit who proceeds from the Father and the Son who brings the gift of the spiritual awakening of tulips (total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, and irresistible grace, preservation of the saints and the sovereignty of God) to His chosen people for the glory of the Triune Majesty.

69.                        Every king must submit to Jesus as the King of kings who does whatsoever He pleases in absolute holy righteousness in sinless perfection as Incarnate Aseity.

70.                        If you are in exile you should be in the Spirit on the Day of the Lord to proclaim faithful repentance, godly deeds and Jesus Christ as the Incarnate Alpha and Omega!

71.                        Exile means proclaim Jesus in light of John in the days of the Book of Revelation and/or Apocalypse in the correction of His Hand upon the local churches that are sent to the surrounding elect angels to establish practical righteousness, uphold the integrity of Scripture and further the gospel everywhere in honor of the supremacy of Jesus Christ in Incarnate Preeminence.

72.                        The Father was pleased to ordain His Son to establish the historical truth of the bodily Risen Redeemer as Jesus Christ where all leaders of religions are now dead except Jesus Christ who is was and forever will be.

73.                        The Father is enthroned in clouds of glory because economically in the Triune Majesty He is the First Person of the Trinity.

74.                        The Father is the Great King who the Son worships in co-equal submission to the Father.

75.                        Jesus Christ in His subordinate equalvalance exalts Him as the all-exclusive Holy Father who is the Father of lights.

76.                        The clouds bow before the Triune Majesty but symbolize the immediate immensity of His Trinitarian glory in absolute aseity where only God is God and man is but His object of clay.

77.                        The Spirit is the Third Person of the Trinity in His co-equal subordinate “role” in the Triune Godhead to the Father and the Son in clouds of glory where He also is enthroned as the King Who is the Holy Spirit to conclude the matter “The Triune King.”

78.                        Jesus is emphasized to wear the crown because He became sinless man through the Father’s design to exalt His plan through His eternal Son by His eternal Spirit.

79.                        The crown of glory is reserved for the Father.

80.                        The crown of glory is reserved for the Son.

81.                        The crown of glory is reserved for the Spirit.

82.                        The crown of glory by the saints is given especially to Jesus Christ because of the Father’s design by the Spirit.

83.                        There is a essence where the Father and the Spirit wear the crown but agree to emphasis Jesus as the Incarnate One who has the rights of rights to the crown of crowns because He is the centrality of the Triune Godhead where God the Son became sinless man.

84.                        The Book of Ezekiel was written about God’s glory because Ezekiel the priest was concerned about the honor of the majesty of God.

85.                        Ezekiel before the First Coming of Christ proclaimed to the people about God’s divine message of Jehovah that is all about the honor of Jesus Christ among those dry bones.

86.                        The glory of God is to exalt the Spirit to make those dry bones come alive to genuinely love Jesus Christ and His apostolic gospel.

87.                        The Transfiguration of Jesus Christ was the essence of the crux of His majestic glory where He stood between the Law (Moses) and the Prophets (Elijah) in clouds of exalted glory of glories.

88.                        Jesus will come in Clouds of Glory in His Second Coming.

89.                        The Second Coming of Jesus Christ will be the Last Judgment.

90.                        The Last Judgment will be in the Clouds of Righteousness.

91.                        The clouds of righteousness will be by Jesus who decides judgment as the Judge or acquittal as the Savior.

92.                        Are rain clouds over your head in a great storm?  Trust Jesus!

93.                        Jesus will take you through clouds of storm to clouds of glory.

94.                        Clouds of glory for the saints should be about God exalted in all that they are about to honor Jesus though it adds nothing to Him.

95.                        Calvin at one time was exiled from Geneva but God ordains all things to come back and exalt the Word in preaching His precise verse of God-breathed revelation of His outstretched arms at the Cross to welcome guilty sinners to Himself to not only believe the Word but exalt the Word by living the Word.
