Ezekiel 1-2<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000\u3000Israel, under the reign of kings Saul, David, and Solomon, was once a united kingdom strong and prosperous. Her good old days lasted for but a century or so, then came a division. Ten of the Israel twelve tribes formed the Northern Kingdom called Israel, and the other two the Sothern Kingdom known as Judah. Israel lasted 210 years and was eventually conquered by the Assyrians while Judah struggled to survive for another 105 years, ended up crushed by the Babylonians. Under the enemy\u2019s captivity the people were exiled. It was in this historical moment God raised up Ezekiel the prophet. Also called to the ministry were prophets Jeremiah, Daniel, and very possibly Habakkuk. During the people\u2019s going astray, God sent his prophets to call people for repentance, but with their harden hearts they refused to take heed. Is today\u2019s situation similar with that of two and half millennium ago in Judah?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000\u3000We as God\u2019s people must be ready to be called to His Majesty\u2019s Services. For thus saith the LORD, \u201cLet the nations be roused; let them advance into the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I will sit to judge all the nations on every side. Swing the sickle, for the harvest is ripe.\u201d (Joel 3:13-14) Lord Jesus challenged his disciples: \u201cThe harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.\u201d (Luke 10:2) Do not be mistaken that the calls are merely jokes, or we contest the call because we think we are not prophets. \u201cFollow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.\u201d (1 Cor 14:1) What Paul urges is that we are to desire for the gift of prophecy if we truly love our Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000\u3000Ezekiel is characterized as a prophet of vision; the book starts with his vision to the heavenly realm. In 1:4-28, the information seems to be even finer than Isaiah 6. And the description in 26-28 closely resembles that of Revelation 4. They are so vividly written that some speculates that what John the apostle penned in Revelation 4 is plagiarized from Ezekiel. This assertion is nothing more than a pure nonsense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000\u3000If, say, member A of GCBC reports that the church building\u2019s main door faces the south and there is a drainage ditch on the north side, the church\u2019s parking lots are located on the east and west sides; member B also details the identical geographical information about the church building. The most possible conclusion is that they both are the witnesses of the factual truth instead of plagiarizing from one another. Likewise, Ezekiel and John both witnessed the same glory of the physical heaven, along with Isaiah, they are the trio witnesses testifying the heavenly marvel. \u201cEvery matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.\u201d (Matt 18:16 c.f. Deut 19:15) How, then, can the liberal theologians come up with such spiritually poisonous rubbish? Men have been in their attempt to trial God and we as His children must stay alert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000\u3000The purpose of having vision to heaven is not for showing off, rather, it is for the glory of God. with the vision there comes God\u2019s assignment. (let us be ready) \u201cAnd He said to me: \u2018Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day.\u2019\u201d (2:3) If we were to be assigned, complaint could rash out: \u201cOh God, why me?\u201d For we understand that God is not sending us to be prosperous in worldly business, he sends us where \u201cbriers and thorns are with you and you dwell among scorpions.\u201d (6) It is certain that the prophet is well familiar with the historical record in how the rebellious fathers of Israel treated Elijah. But, clearer in Ezekiel\u2019s mind is that God takes care his own. When Elijah asked God to take his life, an angel provided to him bread and water for him, which energized him to run 40 days to Horeb. Now, when Ezekiel is sent, God gives him a scroll \u201ctasted as sweet as honey in my mouth.\u201d Also denotes is that \u201con both sides of it were written words of lament and mourning and woe.\u201d (2:10) How can a scroll be as sweet as honey, but also with words of lament and mourning and woe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3000\u3000To his people, the word of God is no question sweet as honey. To the rebellious nations, God\u2019s truth is like the medication in the old time, it cures, but it is bitter. The apostle Paul concludes: \u201cFor we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. 16 To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life.\u201d Continued, he inquires, \u201cAnd who is<\/em> sufficient for these things?\u201d (2 Cor 2:16) Yes, God\u2019s prophets and servants are sufficient for these things. They serve the only Master without trying to please the public, nor for money and their own stomachs; they preach according to the truth of God for the reward that they are called to receive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u3000\u3000Today we live in a sinful world, people\u2019s hearts are harden and eyes are blind. God has given us the scroll with the sweet gospel and we pray that the Lord will send us. Our hope is not rest on the government nor the political parties nor the individuals\/heroes. \u201cFaith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.\u201d (Rom 10:17) So send us God.\u3000\u3000\u3000— David Yip<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u4ee5\u897f\u7ed3\u4e66 Ezekiel 1:1-28 ~ 2:1-10 (Please scroll down for En […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3245","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-devotion-2019_2021"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/glorycbc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3245","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/glorycbc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/glorycbc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/glorycbc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/glorycbc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3245"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/glorycbc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3245\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4037,"href":"https:\/\/glorycbc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3245\/revisions\/4037"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/glorycbc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3245"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/glorycbc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3245"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/glorycbc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
