Ezekiel's 1st Vision Continued |
Ezekiel 2:1-10 The Book of Ezekiel [in Smaller Chunks] |
And He said to me, Son of man, stand upon your feet & I will speak to you. And the Spirit entered into me when He [spoke] to me & [put] me upon my feets, [so] that I heard Him, Who [spoke] to me. |
And He said to me, Son of man, [I'm sending] you to the children [people] of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me. They & their [forefathers] have transgressed against Me, even [until] this very day. |
[Ezekiel 20:7-8 Then I said to them, You, cast away, every man, the idols of Egypt, the abominations of his eyes & [don't] defile yourselves. I Am the Lord your God. But they rebelled against Me & wouldn't [pay attention] to Me. |
Every man didn't cast away the abominations of their eyes & neither did they [abandon] the idols of Egypt. Then, I said, I will pour out My fury upon them, to [carry out] My anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.] |
For they are [disrespectful & stubborn] children. I send you to them & you shall say to them, The Lord God says [this.] And whether they will hear of whether they will [refuse,] (for they are a rebellious house, [a.k.a. family,]) [they] shall [still] know there has been a prophet among them. |
And you, Son of man, [Don't] be afraid of them. Neither be afraid of their words, [even if:] [sticker bushes] & thorns [are] with you & you dwell among scorpions, [don't] be afraid of their words, nor be [discouraged] at their looks, [although] they [are] a rebellious house. |
[Isaiah 51:12-13 I, even I, Am He [Who] comforts you. Who are you that you should be afraid of a man, [who] shall die & the son of man, [who] shall be made [like] grass & forget the Lord your Maker, [Who] has stretched [out] the heavens & laid the foundations of the earth. |
And have [you] [been afraid] continually every day, because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? And where is the fury of the oppressor?] |
And you shall speak My Words to them, whether they hear of whether they [refuse:] for they are most rebellious. [Ezekiel 3:17 Son of man, I have made you a watchman to [guard] the house of Israel. Therefore hear the Word [by] My mouth & give them warning from Me.] |
But you, Son of man, hear what I say to you & [don't] you be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth & eat [what] I give you. And when I looked, [saw] a hand was sent to me. And [look,] a roll, [a.k.a. scroll] of a book, was [there.] |
And He spread it [in front of] me & it was written [inside & outside.] And [grieving,] mourning & woe, [a.k.a. distress,] was written [in there.] [Ezekiel 3:1-3 [Also,] He said to me, Son of man, eat [what] you find. Eat this roll, [a.k.a. scroll & book,] & go speak to the house, [a.k.a. family] of Israel. |
So, I opened my mouth & He caused me to eat that [scroll.] And He said to me, Son of man, eat & cause your [stomach] to fill [your intestines] with this [scroll,] that I give you. Then, I [ate] it & it was [like] honey in my mouth for sweetness.] |
