Ezekiel’s Call

1“Son of man,” He said to me, “stand up on your feet and I will speak to you.” 2And as He spoke to me, the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet, and I heard Him speaking to me.

  • EZK 2:1[NOTE]SON OF MAN. God calls Ezekiel this about 93 times. It means a human being, a mortal, standing before God's glory. Jesus took the title for Himself, from Daniel 7:13.

3“Son of man,” He said to me, “I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me. To this very day they and their fathers have rebelled against Me. 4They are obstinate and hard-hearted children. I am sending you to them, and you are to say to them, ‘This is what the Lord Yahweh says.’

  • EZK 2:4[TEXT]HARD HEARTED. The Hebrew says strong of heart, chizqei lev. The KJV says stiffhearted. Many Bibles say stubborn.

5And whether they listen or refuse to listen—for they are a rebellious house—they will know that a prophet has been among them.

6But you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns surround you, and you dwell among scorpions. Do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their presence, though they are a rebellious house. 7But speak My words to them, whether they listen or refuse to listen, for they are rebellious.

8And you, son of man, listen to what I tell you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I give you.”

  • EZK 2:8[ALLUDED TO]The New Testament refers to this → REV 10:9-10

9Then I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me, and in it was a scroll, 10which He unrolled before me. And written on the front and back of it were words of lamentation, mourning, and woe.

  • EZK 2:9[NOTE]A SCROLL. Written on front and back, full of laments and woe, 2:10. Scrolls were usually written on one side. Compare Revelation 5:1.
