This session of our 2024 Fall Evening Class focuses on examining the call of Ezekiel as a "priestly prophet" in chapters 2-3 of the Book of Ezekiel. Dr. Andrew Compton explores several key segments of Ezekiel's calling, including the "I am sending you" speech (Chapter 2:1-8), a vision of a scroll containing words of lamentation that Ezekiel has to eat (2:9-3:3), the "therefore go" speech (3:4-11), and Ezekiel's commission as a watchman (3:16-27).
He highlights interesting elements like the irony of Israel being called "nations" of rebels, the Hebrew wordplay around Ezekiel's name and the concept of "hardness," and how Ezekiel's role as a watchman shapes the structure of the entire book, with his mouth being shut during judgment messages (chapters 1-32) and opened during salvation messages (chapters 33-48).
