Therefore thus says the Lord God: I, I myself, am coming against you; I will execute judgments among you in the sight of the nations.  And because of all your abominations, I will do to you what I have never yet done, and the like of which I will never do again.  Surely, parents shall eat their children in your midst, and children shall eat their parents; I will execute judgments on you, and any of you who survive I will scatter to every wind.  Therefore, as I live, says the Lord God, surely, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things and with all your abominations--therefore I will cut you down; my eye will not spare, and I will have no pity.  One third of you shall die of pestilence or be consumed by famine among you; one third shall fall by the sword around you; and one third I will scatter to every wind and will unsheathe the sword after them.  My anger shall spend itself, and I will vent my fury on them and satisfy myself; and they shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken in my jealousy, when I spend my fury on them.  Moreover I will make you a desolation and an object of mocking among the nations around you, in the sight of all that pass by.  You shall be a mockery and a taunt, a warning and a horror, to the nations around you, when I execute judgments on you in anger and fury, and with furious punishments--I, the Lord, have spoken-- when I loose against you my deadly arrows of famine, arrows for destruction, which I will let loose to destroy you, and when I bring more and more famine upon you, and break your staff of bread.  I will send famine and wild animals against you, and they will rob you of your children; pestilence and bloodshed shall pass through you; and I will bring the sword upon you. I, the Lord, have spoken.

I was attempting to reconcile these words with the God I am trying to learn about and worship.  I suddenly turned to Luke 21.7-28 which seems to parallel and explain Ezekiel.  “These are days of vengeance, as a fulfillment of all that is written.” (Luke 21.22)
