Ezekiel 9 · Grade 4

A Mark on the Forehead

Name Date

Read and Think

Ezekiel 9 continues the vision in the temple. Ezekiel says he saw six men come from the north gate, and among them a man clothed in linen with a writer's inkhorn by his side. Linen was the clothing of priests. The glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub to the threshold of the house, as if getting ready to leave.

Yahweh sent the man in linen through the middle of Jerusalem with a special task. He was to set a mark on the foreheads of those who sigh and cry over all the abominations done within it. These were people who still cared about God and were grieved by the sin around them.

Then judgment came on the city, beginning at the sanctuary, but no one with the mark was to be touched. Ezekiel fell on his face and pleaded for the remnant. God said the iniquity was exceedingly great, because the people said Yahweh doesn't see. The man in linen reported that he had done as God commanded.
