EZEKIEL

‘And on this throne high above was a figure whose appearance resembled a man…This is what the glory of the Lord looked like to me.’ (Ezk 1:26, 28) The foundation of Ezekiel’s prophetic ministry to the Israelites exiled in Babylon was his vision of worship. He saw the throne of God that was moving on giant living wheels. God used this vision as the calling and inauguration of his ministry as a prophet to a lost and confused people. After being exposed to this powerful scene God spoke: “Stand up, son of man,” said the voice. “I want to speak with you.” The Spirit came into me as he spoke, and he set me on my feet. I listened carefully to his words.’ (Ezek 2:1,2) In the Old Testament, the L ord spoke ‘to’ the prophets, in our day he speaks ‘in us,’ in side our conscience. Ezekiel saw this vision repeatedly throughout his book and it provided the atmosphere and inspiration for the astounding prophecies he faithfully gave to God’s people.
