When we engage the Word of God, we have a foot in two worlds. We live in a modern world of instant communication, ease of transportation, and medical innovations that would startle people from only a few generations ago.
By contrast the worlds of the Bible seem very different. The prophecy of Ezekiel seems especially disconnected from our modern lives. This book contains fantastic visions and other unfamiliar communication methods mediated by a Jewish prophet living 2,600 years ago in a land 6,000 miles away. The church father Jerome asked, "As for…Ezekiel…who can fully understand" it?
We won't fully understand it. But when the Holy Spirit blesses the careful study of Scripture, God truly speaks to us, changing our minds, hearts, and wills no matter how unfamiliar the message may seem. And the message of Ezekiel—in part because of its strangeness—has a message especially needed in our day.
To benefit from this message let's enter into the world of Ezekiel. We'll try to understand the circumstance that prompted his writing, a summary of the message that he wrote, and the benefits we hope to gain from this study.
