Ezekiel 12 · Grade 4

Baggage for Moving

Name Date

Read and Think

God told Ezekiel that he lived in the middle of a rebellious house, people who had eyes to see and did not see and ears to hear and did not hear. Perhaps a sign acted out before their eyes would make them consider. So Ezekiel prepared his baggage for moving, like someone going into exile.

By day Ezekiel brought out his baggage in their sight. In the evening he dug through the wall with his hand, carried his baggage on his shoulder in the dark, and covered his face. In the morning God told him to explain. Ezekiel was a sign: the prince in Jerusalem and the people would go into exile in the same way.

God also told Ezekiel to eat his bread with quaking, a sign of the fear coming to the land. The people had a proverb that the days are prolonged and every vision fails. God said he would end that proverb. The word he speaks will be performed, and it will be no more deferred.
