Explicit language of Ezekiel

The language of Ezekiel is difficult. I don't mean the grammar, but the images he depicted. Of course, he began with very fascinating extra-terrestrial UFO images and some symbolic actions. They are interesting to read. However, sometimes, his language is rather explicit, sexually speaking.

Like other prophets, Ezekiel compared the idolatry practised by the Israelites to harlotry and adultery. It is interesting to find these three English words ending in similar ways. However, when we reach Ezekiel 23, the language is sexually explicit. For example,
they (Samaria and Jerusalem) played the harlot in Egypt; they played the harlot in their youth; there their breasts were pressed and their virgin bosoms handled (Ezekiel 23:3).
Yet she increased her harlotry, remembering the days of her youth, when she played the harlot in the land of Egypt
and doted upon her paramours there, whose members were like those of asses, and whose issue was like that of horses.
Thus you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when the Egyptians handled your bosom and pressed your young breasts (Ezekiel 23:19-21)

As if that is not enough, Ezekiel 24 offers a depressing image of the siege of Jerusalem.
And utter an allegory to the rebellious house and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: Set on the pot, set it on, pour in water also;
put in it the pieces of flesh, all the good pieces, the thigh and the shoulder; fill it with choice bones.
Take the choicest one of the flock, pile the logs under it; boil its pieces, seethe also its bones in it (Ezekiel 24:3-5).
The worst of all, God was determined to butcher Jerusalem (or the Rape of Jerusalem?).
I the LORD have spoken; it shall come to pass, I will do it; I will not go back, I will not spare, I will not repent; according to your ways and your doings I will judge you, says the Lord GOD (Ezekiel 24:14)
The image is sickening and disturbing. On top of that, something actually happened.
So I spoke to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died. And on the next morning I did as I was commanded (Ezekiel 24:18).
The death of his wife was also part of a symbolic action because Ezekiel was a sign to the people.
Thus shall Ezekiel be to you a sign; according to all that he has done you shall do. When this comes, then you will know that I am the Lord GOD (Ezekiel 24:24).
Yes, it is disturbing to read Ezekiel.

My dear Advocate, it is difficult of us, who are living in peaceful times, to appreciate the terrible experience gone through by Ezekiel. May his words remind us of Your kindness, as well as the mistakes our spiritual ancestors have made. Pray that we follow Your path and make steady progress towards our heavenly home. Amen.
