Sometimes God shows you the hidden things that need to be exposed.

📚 Historical Context

In the Book of Ezekiel, the prophet is given a vision by God during the Babylonian exile, a time when the people of Judah were suffering judgment for their unfaithfulness. God transports Ezekiel in this vision to the Temple in Jerusalem to expose the hidden idolatries and moral failures of the leaders and people. Specifically, in verse 7, Ezekiel is led to the door of the court and notices a hole in the wall, which serves as an entry point to reveal deeper corruption.
