Ezekiel 2 · Grade 4
A Prophet Among Them
Read and Think
In Ezekiel 2 the voice from the vision speaks. God calls Ezekiel son of man and tells him to stand on his feet. As God spoke, the Spirit entered into Ezekiel and set him on his feet.
God sends Ezekiel to the children of Israel, whom he calls a nation of rebels. Their fathers had also turned against God. God tells Ezekiel to say, This is what the Lord Yahweh says. Whether they listened or refused, they would know that there had been a prophet among them.
God warns that speaking would be hard, like living among briers, thorns, and scorpions. Still, God tells him not to be afraid or dismayed. Ezekiel must listen to God and not be rebellious like them. Then a hand gives him a scroll. Lamentations, mourning, and woe were written on it.
