Are You Wood From the Vine?

"Then the Word of the Lord came to me, saying: 

"Son of man, how is the wood of the vine 'better' than any other wood, 

the vine branch which is among the trees of the forest? 

Is wood taken from it to make any object? 

Or can men make a peg from it to hang any vessel on?

 Instead, it is thrown into the fire for fuel; 

the fire devours both ends of it, and its middle is burned. 

Is it useful for any work? 

(Humor) INDEED, when it was whole, 

NO OBJECT COULD BE MADE FROM IT. 

How much LESS will it be useful for any work when the fire has devoured it and it is burned?" Ezekiel 15:1-5

The Lord makes mention how USELESS the grape vine wood is and He then later goes on to say that the Israelites are just as useless because of their unfaithfulness. Not only are they useless wood, but they're useless 'burnt' wood. That's quite the burn, eh? He even hints some sarcasm (for lack of a better word) when he says that they are useful for nothing and when he asks Ezekiel the rhetorical question "how is this wood better than everything else?"when in fact, it's the worst type of wood, according to the Lord. Now, the Lord makes a strong emphasis here on how being unfaithful makes you useless to Him because well you're not surrendering all to Him. Just like I said yesterday. It makes you susceptible to the darkness. Darkness=enemy of God.
