This Message Will Self-Destruct…When You Eat It
- Through this mysterious presence, God gives Ezekiel his mission.
- Oh, and he calls Ezekiel "mortal." Like, way more than is necessary. Way to rub it in, man.
- He's going to prophesy to the House of Israel. But they're pretty rebellious so Ezekiel shouldn't get discouraged if they don't listen to him.
- God tells Ezekiel not to be rebellious like his people, and gives Ezekiel a scroll with words of lamentation and mourning written on them (the scroll containing his prophetic message). God tells Ezekiel to eat the scroll. Yes, you heard right.
