Ezekiel 9:1-11
1Then [in my vision] I heard Him cry out with a thunderous voice, saying,
“Approach now, executioners of the city, each with his weapon of destruction in his hand.”
2Behold, six men [angelic beings] came from the direction of the Upper Gate,
which faces north, each with his battle-axe in his hand;
and among them was a certain man clothed in linen, with a scribe’s writing case at his side.
They entered and stood beside the bronze altar.
3Then the [Shekinah] glory and brilliance of the God of Israel (the cloud) went up from the cherubim on which it had rested,
to [stand above] the threshold of the [LORD’S] temple.
And the LORD called to the man clothed with linen, who had the scribe’s writing case at his side.
4The LORD said to him,
“Go through the midst of the city, throughout all of Jerusalem,
and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh [in distress]
and grieve over all the repulsive acts which are being committed in it.”
5But to the others I heard Him say,
“Follow him [the man with the scribe’s writing case] throughout the city and strike;
do not let your eyes have pity and do not spare [anyone].
6Utterly slay old men, young men, maidens, little children, and women;
but do not touch or go near anyone on whom is the mark. Begin at My sanctuary.”
So they began with the old men who were in front of the temple
[who did not have the LORD’S mark on their foreheads].
7And He said to the executioners,
“Defile the temple and fill its courtyards with the dead. Go out!”
So they went out and struck down the people in the city.
8As they were executing them and I alone was left,
I fell face downward and cried out,
“Alas, Lord GOD! Will You destroy all that is left of Israel [the whole remnant]
by pouring out Your wrath and indignation on Jerusalem?”
9Then He said to me, “The wickedness (guilt) of the house of Israel and Judah is extremely great;
the land is full of blood and the city is full of perversion and injustice; for they say,
‘The LORD has abandoned the land; the LORD does not see [what we are doing].’
10But as for Me, My eye will have no pity, nor will I spare, but I will bring their [wicked] conduct upon their [own] heads.”
11Then behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the scribe’s writing case at his side, reported,
“I have done just as You have commanded me.”

Price gouging is similar to profiteering, being that, price gouging is when businesses heavily inflate the price of products or services that are in high-demand. It is the practice of making or seeking to make an excessive or unfair profit, especially illegally from inflating prices (e.g. overcharge a customer for something by sharply increasing its price, especially in order to take advantage of a necessity and high demand of it, thus leading to customers and consumers paying over the odds, while the seller makes an undeserved profit)

Milk, that you bought and marked to sell for ₦2,300 but you suddenly changed it to a ₦2,600 overcharged pajawiri price to customers. God is watching and judgment will start from the church

Another instance was during Emefiele's Naira scarcity system of doing things, when POS operators were indiscriminately and illegally deducting a service fee of ₦400 for a ₦2K withdrawal, when AMMBAN (i.e. the Association of Mobile Money and Bank Agents in Nigeria) had a fixed a service charge of ₦100 for withdrawals between ₦1000 - ₦2400, service charge of ₦200 for withdrawal from ₦2,500 - ₦4,000, service fee ₦300 for withdrawal from ₦4,100 - ₦6,400 and service charge fee of ₦400 for a withdrawal from ₦6,100 - ₦7,400 et cetera

With all these heartless, mean spirited, lacking compassion and conniving acts pervading the country and adding insult to injury hardship, the time has come for judgement to begin, and to begin at the house of God. Now if it begins with us, the household of God, what terrible fate awaits those who have never understood and/or obeyed God’s Good News? (i.e. the Gospel)

The pulpit needs to shout it from the rafters to the rooftops, about the strange fire before Yahweh, which He had not commanded. The entire land is full of murder, filled with injustice and crime, overflows of corruption et cetera

A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the fool that needs it, as a wise person already figured out what's implied in this post. Suffice to say, there are certain acts that are unbecoming of a child of God, son/daughter of God or moG/woG (i.e. whichever is applicable)

Inspiration from God & Bodydiialect57 prompted the post

This is a prevailing practice at this present time when many are groaning from the burden of hike in price of almost every items, importantly, food items.

This wicked practice is very common mostly among retailers. They increase the prices of their goods at will and the unsuspecting buyer will buy from them for fear of further increment.
I wanted to buy a dozen of a particular brand of biscuits, and the seller told me he couldn't sell cos he doesn't know what the price will be tomorrow. I left his shop disgusted at such act.

How will you as a child of God, join others to make life hard for others? If they are ignorant of what they are doing, should you too do same?

Let's have a change of heart and do what God expects of us.

Micah 6:8 (KJV) He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God.

God'a mercy on the brains of humans. Since when did the city of Jerusalem become Nigeria for crying out loud? Why are these people dead set on doing this to themselves all while using the name of a God that said no such?

2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration]
and is profitable for instruction,
for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience],
for training in righteousness
[learning to live in conformity to God’s will,
both publicly and privately
—behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]

If dumb was a sport, some posters would be called champions.

When in doubt if can't you look intelligent and type intelligently, then why not, either put up or shut up. Hmm?

So, for you, what Paul said in his letter to Timothy you take as permission for you to then go forth and bastardize Scripture as you well please, disregarding the intended message of the authors and what not? Kai!! See wetin religion don do people head abeg!!!

1. What is your understanding of 2 Timothy 3:16?
2. What purpose, when shared with posterity, is 2 Timothy 3:16 serving?
3. In the land's current hardship climate, what message is 'Price Gouging Hardship & The Ezekiel 9:4-7 Vision of Slaughter Judgment' passing on and to whom parties, particularly is it addressed to?

I think a better question is how Paul's use of the word inspired translates to permission to bastardize Scripture as you see fit.

in·spi·ra·tion

1. the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.
2. the drawing in of breath; inhalation.

Which of the above gives you the authority you pretend you have to inject whatever you wish in between the lines of what is written in that book?

NNTR:
Kobojunkie, is infamous for badly finessing the art of being truculent.

Its that bad, that he easily would start to argue in an empty room
Yeah, even wouldnt mind arguing with himself, in order to win an argument.

Proverbs 25:2
It is the glory of God to conceal a matter,
But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.

2 Timothy 2:15
'Study and do your best to present yourself to God approved,
a workman [tested by trial] who has no reason to be ashamed,
accurately handling and skillfully teaching the word of truth.'

I've no apologia, especially if 2 Timothy 2:15 advices us, to do our best to present ourselves to God as one approved, as workers who does not need to be ashamed and who rightly divides the word of truth, correctly handles the word of truth, who properly makes known the word of truth without deviation

You definitely are a learner,

LOL... see this one. Ezekiel spoke of events relating to the city of Jerusalem but here you assert that he instead spoke regarding that unrelated to the city of Jerusalem. No be bastardization that one amounts to?

Smh. There are no secrets that time doesnt reveal

Ezekiel had a vision almost 2600 years ago of the things to happen in the City of Jerusalem at the end time specified by God in Scripture, an end time which eventually took place about 670 years afterward. But this one here dey dey claim say time holding no secrets is the reason why he takes it on himself to assert that what Ezekiel said of events that took place 1900 years ago applies to His Nigeria 1900 years later. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Man Shocked As Door Price Surges 25%
Within 2 Hours of Purchase

A Nigerian was left stunned after being slapped with an unexpected N400,000 surcharge just two hours after purchasing 10 doors for N1.6 million, sparking a heated quarrel with the seller. The sudden hike, attributed to the economic challenges facing Nigeria, escalated into a tense confrontation between the buyer and the store staff.

The buyer, who had already paid for the doors at the initial price, returned to the store for pickup only to be informed of the shocking price surge. "I couldn't believe it. The seller demanded 25% (N400k) more, citing the economic situation," expressed the buyer, visibly upset by the unexpected demand.
