Meditations in Ezekiel

Ezekiel 2:3 – “And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day.”

1.  To Confront Them for Their Stubborn Rebellion

Ezekiel 2:4a – “For they are impudent children and stiffhearted.  I do send thee unto them.”

2.  To Uphold the Authority of God’s Holy Word

Ezekiel 2:4b – “And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.”

3.  To Call Them unto Humble Repentance

Ezekiel 2:5 – “And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.”

4.  To Stand Fearlessly against Their Reproach

Ezekiel 2:6 – “And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.”

5.  To Be Faithful Regardless of Their Response

Ezekiel 2:7 – “And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.”

6.  To Remain Obedient unto God’s Holy Word

Ezekiel 2:8 – “But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.”

            A.  As an example unto them
            B.  As a rebuke unto them
            C.  For your own fellowship with the Lord
            D.  For your own enablement in ministry
