{"Image DocumentName": "Ezekiel 17:8", "Image ImageDescription": "It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine. The main thrust you get from this passage and other passages is that there really was no reason for Zedekiah\u2019s revolt. They were not under oppression or dispersion; they were really under a beneficial rule under Nebuchadnezzar. They had security under him. It was only through ambition and ingratitude that Zedekiah became insubordinate to his allegiance to Nebuchadnezzar. Zedekiah had sworn an oath before the Lord. The prophets Jeremiah, and Isaiah, and Ezekiel and others, all pointed out that Nebuchadnezzar was the instrument of God bringing judgment to the land in the first place. The new orientation of the vine to the second eagle threatens its choice location and flourishing state.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
