Command the Raven

Ezekiel 24:27 [show/hide]Ezekiel 24:27 [27]On that day your mouth will be opened to the fugitive, and you shall speak and be no longer mute. So you will be a sign to them, and they will know that I am the LORD." (ESV)

In that day your mouth shall be open to him who has escaped, and you shall speak and be no more speechless; and you shall be a sign to them, and they shall know, understand and realize, that I am the Lord.

On the basis of the fact that God uses it oftener than any other important word in the Bible, the word “Lord” becomes the most essential term in any language to the welfare of any person.

It is not enough that one knows God is God, for only a fool would deny that [Psalm 53:1 [show/hide]Psalm 53:1 There Is None Who Does Good To the choirmaster: according to Mahalath. A Maskil of David. [53:1]The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity; there is none who does good.
… The empty-headed fool has said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt and evil are they, and doing abominable iniquity; there is none who does good], but God demands of every person who is to be recognized by Him that he accept Him as Lord of his life, his Sovereign Ruler, to whom he yields implicit obedience.

When Thomas was able to say of Jesus, “My Lord and My God !” [John 20:28 [show/hide]John 20:28 [28]Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!" (ESV)
… Thomas answered Him, My Lord and my God !] his doubts ceased to exist.

Nothing short of that meets God’s demand.

Watch for the word “Lord” in the Bible: it occurs around 5,000 times by actual count.
