 Ezekiel 5:11 So as I live,' declares the Lord God, 'surely, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable idols and with all your abominations, therefore I will also withdraw, and My eye will have no pity and I will not spare.


Looking back through the old testament you find God's patience ran out when His people took their eyes off Him and pursued things that greatly displeased Him. What's really a head scratcher is time and time again God provided for their needs in great ways, so obvious, it had to be a God thing. Yet their loyalty seemed to wain over time. 


Ezekiel 5:12 One third of you will die by plague or be consumed by famine among you, one third will fall by the sword around you, and one third I will scatter to every wind, and I will unsheathe a sword behind them.


If you add up ⅓+⅓+⅓ that equals 100 percent. And from the options in verse 12, things didn't look good. Thankfully today God doesn't wipe out His people for their disobedience, but He can. Just about 100 percent of the time disobedience today has its consequences, and sometimes leads to death. 


Deuteronomy 28:1-2 Now it shall be, if you diligently obey the Lord your God, being careful to do all His commandments which I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.

[2]All these blessings will come upon you and overtake you if you obey the Lord your God:


God wants to bless you, and His blessings are in abundance. If you are a child of God and truly love Him, why not do right, live right, give him your heart and He will set you on high. Blessings.
