THE NATURE OF THE HITTITES AND AMORITES.

GOD, speaking through the Prophet Ezekiel, used the term "Hittite" in the figurative sense in speaking to the soul of Jerusalem. GOD said in His Judgment to Jerusalem:
"Now then, Jerusalem, you whore! Hear what the LORD is saying. This is what the Sovereign LORD says:  'You stripped off your clothes, and like a prostitute, you gave yourself to your lovers and to all your disgusting idols, and you killed your children as sacrifices to idols.'
'Because of this I will bring all your former lovers together -the ones you liked and the ones you hated.'
' I will bring them around you in a circle, and then I will strip off your clothes and let them see you naked.'  I will CONDEMN you for ADULTERY and MURDER, and IN MY ANGER AND FURY I WILL PUNISH YOU WITH DEATH.  I will PUT YOU IN THEIR POWER and THEY will TEAR DOWN the PLACES WHERE YOU ENGAGE IN PROSTITUTION and WORSHIP IDOLS. They will THAKE AWAY your CLOTHES and JEWELS and LEAVE YOU NAKED.
They will STIR UP A CROWD to STONE YOU, AND THEY WILL CUT YOU TO PIECES with their swords. They will BURN YOUR HOUSES DOWN and LET CROWDS of WOMEN SEE your PUNISHMENT." (Ezekiel 16: 35-41)
The LORD said, "People will use this Proverb about you, Jerusalem: 'LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER.'  You  really are your mother's daughter. Your mother DETESTED her HUSBAND and HER CHILDREN. You are like YOUR SISTERS, who HATED their HUSBANDS and THEIR CHILDREN. You and your sister cities had a HITTITE MOTHER and AMORITE FATHER.
Your OLDER SISTER, with her villages, is SAMARIA, in the North. Your YOUNGER sister, with her villages, is SODOM, in the South. Were you, JERUSALEM, satisfied to follow in their footsteps and copy their disgusting actions? No, in only a "little while" you were acting worse than they were in everything you did.' " (Ezekiel 16: 46-47)
"I WILL MAKE YOU STOP being a prostitute and make you stop giving gifts to your lovers. Then MY ANGER WILL BE OVER, and I WILL BE CALM. I WILL NOT BE ANGRY OR JEALOUS ANY MORE." (Ezekiel 16: 42)
"You have forgotten HOW I TREATED YOU when YOU WERE YOUNG, and you have made Me angry by all the THINGS YOU DID. That is Why I HAVE MADE YOU PAY FOR THEM ALL. Why did YOU ADD SEXUAL IMMORALITY TO ALL THE OTHER disgusting things you did?"
The Sovereign LORD has spoken. (Ezekiel 16: 43)
"As surely as I AM THE LIVING GOD," the Sovereign LORD says, "Your sister SODOM and her villages NEVER DID THE EVIL that YOU and YOUR VILLAGES HAVE DONE.  SHE and her DAUGHTERS were PROUD because THEY HAD PLENTY TO EAT and LIVED IN PEACE and QUIET, but they did NOT TAKE CARE OF THE POOR AND the UNDERPRIVILEGED. They were PROUD AND STUBBORN and DID the THINGS that I HATE, so I DESTROYED THEM, as you well know." (Ezekiel 16: 48-50)
"SAMARIA did not sin half as much as you have. TOU HAVE ACTED MORE DISGUSTINGLY than she ever did. YOUR CORRUPTION MAKE your SISTERS LOOK INNOCENT BY COMPARISON. And now YOU HAVE TO ENDURE YOUR DISGRACE. Your SINS ARE SO MUCH WORSE THAN THOSE OF YOUR SISTERS that THEY LOOK INNOCENT BESIDE YOU. Now BLUSH AND BEAR YOUR SHAME, BECAUSE YOU MAKE YOUR SISTERS LOOK PURE." (Ezekiel 16: 51-52)
