" In the sixth month of Zedekiah’s sixth year as king (612 B.C.E.), Ezekiel saw a vision that revealed the idolatrous practices, including the worship of the god Tammuz and of the sun, being carried on at Jerusalem.—Eze 8:1-17. - Insight on the Scriptures Vol II p. 1227"

Ezekiel 8:15-16

<< rr chap 5 p. 52 par 16 [Sun Worship] >>

"So he brought me to the inner courtyard of the house of Jehovah, and, look! at the entrance of the temple of Jehovah, between the porch and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs to the temple of Jehovah and their faces to the east, and they were bowing down to the east, to the sun." Ezekiel 8 : 16 (New World Translation)

Evidently, in this year 612 B.C.E., more than three years before the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem began , King Zedekiah of Jerusalem had not yet rebelled against the king of Babylonia to whom he had pledged submission. (2 Chron. 36:11-13; 2 Kings 24:18 to 25:1) But these twenty-five “princes of the people” were likely scheming in favor of such a rebellion, for they were “advising bad counsel against this city.” But they were confident that no harm would come.

Ezekiel 8:15-16

In place of looking to Him as the source of enlightenment and energy and of the warmth of material comforts, they look to modern science and human philosophy. They pay more respect to these modern scientists and intellectuals, they attribute more to these, than they do to Jehovah.- kj chap 8 p.142 par 36

“Is it a trivial thing for the house of Judah to do these detestable things,
to fill the land with violence and keep offending me? Here they are thrusting out the branch to my nose” - Ezekiel 8:17

Those idolaters also held out to God’s nose an obscene twig, perhaps representing the human male organ. [...] Christendom turns her back on light from God, teaches false doctrines, idolizes worldly wisdom, and winks at immorality.—Ezekiel 8:15-18. W93 1/15
