Ezekiel 1, 2

Exekiel can be perplexing to the reader or the student of scripture. He was an eccentric man, but most true prophets are. His book was included in the Canon of Scripture and deemed “God-breathed” by theologians. He provides a description of his calling in the first two chapters of his book. It is a primer of sorts for those who hear from God.

To me, the descriptions of the beasts he saw seem like how an ancient would react to seeing and hearing jet fighters or war tanks. As you “listen” to the book (pull up audio Bibles on Biblegateway.com and select NIV Dramatized) your mind’s eye can visualize modern war devices.

To hear God speak should be the goal of every Christian. As was King David, we each are called to be a prophet-priest-king to the Lord.

Listen to the Lord: He IS speaking to us. Is. 50:4
