Ezekiel chapter 1 Ezekiel was in exile in Babylon when he saw a vision from God. From a windstorm comes four creatures human form but with four faces each and four wings .These heavenly creatures look dazzling . Later in the chapter , Ezekiel saw the high above the throne was a figure of man "I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking. Ezekiel 1:27 - 28 Ezekiel chapter 2 The magnificent figure spoke to Ezekiel. As he spoke, the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet, and I heard him speaking to me. Ezekiel 2:2 He said: “Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me; they and their ancestors have been in revolt against me to this very day. Ezekiel 2:3 NIV He was told not to be afraid of them though they are obstinate and stubborn. God told him he should deliver His message to them as it is. Ezekiel was given a scroll to eat ; But you, son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not rebel like that rebellious people; open your mouth and eat what I give you.” which he unrolled before me. On both sides of it were written words of lament and mourning and woe. Ezekiel 2:8 , 10 Ezekiel chapter 3 Ezekiel was instructed to eat the scroll. After eating it Ezekiel said it tasted like honey. He then said to me: “Son of man, go now to the people of Israel and speak my words to them. Ezekiel 3:4 NIV He was again told to be strong and courageous. Ezekiel was tasked to be a watchman for the people of Israel . "When I say to a wicked person, ‘You will surely die,’ and you do not warn them or speak out to dissuade them from their evil ways in order to save their life, that wicked person will die for their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood. But if you do warn the wicked person and they do not turn from their wickedness or from their evil ways, they will die for their sin; but you will have saved yourself." Ezekiel 3:18 - 19 Ezekiel chapter 4 Ezekiel was instructed to draw Jerusalem on a block of clay. He will build a seige around it signifying the attack coming on Jerusalem . Ezekiel was to lie on his sides for a number of days. He was told to eat rationed food to symbolise what will happen to Israel . He then said to me: “Son of man, I am about to cut off the food supply in Jerusalem. The people will eat rationed food in anxiety and drink rationed water in despair, for food and water will be scarce. They will be appalled at the sight of each other and will waste away because of their sin. Ezekiel 4:16 - 17 Lessons : God wants his people to give him their whole .
