Ezekiel 12- Unusual Means

 

Ezekiel 12 – Unusual Means

 

When people become spiritually blind and deaf, God uses unusual means to get His Word across to them. Ezekiel preached two more action sermons to warn them that judgment was at hand. The prophet lived the message he was declaring.

 

His actions in the morning portrayed the people wo were packing to go into captivity, while his actions in the evening portrayed the futile attempt of King Zedekiah to escape. God knew what would occur, and nobody could alter his plans.

 

Ezekiel’s actions at his meals portrayed the terror the people would experience despite their believing that the worst was past. The false prophets said that people like Ezekiel and Jeremiah were “doomsayers” and their dire predictions would not occur. But God’s Word never fails, and it is always fulfilled on time.

 

God does not ask you to do bizarre things as He did Ezekiel, but can others tell by your life-style that you believe Jesus is coming and that He will one day judge the world (2 Pet. 3:10-18)? Is your life an action sermon that catches the attention of people who are blind and deaf to God’s truth?

 

Please read the chapter listed so that you can understand God’s Word better.
