DAY 4: 31-Days Journey in Faith through the Book of Ezekiel


Ezekiel is Called To Be A Prophet:

Ezekiel 2:1-3:27

Ezekiel is called to be a prophet to the Jewish exiles living at Tel Abib (or Tel Aviv - ‘Hill of Spring’) beside the "River Chebar" (the Shatt en-Nil canal) in Babylonia (see the feature on Babylon). Like Daniel, he was also taken into captivity in Babylon (Ezekiel 3:12-21).

Ezekiel 4:1-17

Ezekiel re-enacts the siege of Jerusalem by drawing a map of the city on a brick, and using an iron plate to represent the walls, siege ramps, trenches and battering rams.

Ezekiel 5:1-17

Ezekiel shaves off his beard and hair and divides it into three parts to represent what the LORD will do to the people of Jerusalem: “A third of you will die by disease or be destroyed by hunger inside your walls. A third will fall dead by the sword outside your walls. And a third I will scatter in every direction as I chase them with a sword.” (Ezekiel 5:12)

Ezekiel 6:1-14

The LORD condemns the Israelites for their idolatry. “I will bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your places of idol worship. Your altars will be destroyed and your incense altars broken down. I will lay the dead bodies of the Israelites in front of their idols.” (Ezekiel 6:3-5)

Ezekiel 7:1-27

Ezekiel prophesies the downfall of the people of Judah. “The end has come! Disaster has come for you people who live in the land.” (Ezekiel 7:6-7)

Ezekiel, a priest-turned-prophet, during the time of the Babylonian takeover and captivity of the land of Judah, wrote this 48-chapter book during the sixth century BC. He was a contemporary of other major prophets such as Daniel and Jeremiah, and minor prophets such as Habakkuk and Obadiah.
