Image of Jealousy from Ezekiel

Image of Jealousy from Ezekiel, speaks of the Jealousy of the LORD* because of Jerusalem’s going after other gods, just as many in the world do today.

Ezekiel 8.1. And it happened in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of Adonai, the LORD*, fell upon me there. 2. Then I beheld and, lo, a likeness as the appearance of fire. From the appearance of his loins even downward, fire, and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the color of amber. 3. And he put forth the form of a hand and took me by a lock of my head, and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heavens and brought me in the visions of God for Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looks toward the north where the seat of the image of jealousy was, which pro-vokes to jealousy. 4. And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the valley.
