Ezekiel eats the scroll4. God encourages him 15. God shows him the rule of prophecy 22. God shuts and opens the prophet's mouth Son of man, This title, "Son of man," is used frequently in the book of Ezekiel, emphasizing the prophet's humanity and his role as a representative of the people. It underscores the distinction between God and man, highlighting the humility and frailty of human nature. This title is also significant in the New Testament, where Jesus frequently refers to Himself as the "Son of Man," linking His mission to the prophetic tradition and emphasizing His role as the ultimate mediator between God and humanity. He added, listen carefully to all the words I speak to you, and take them to heart. Persons / Places / Events 1. EzekielA prophet and priest during the Babylonian exile, called by God to deliver His messages to the Israelites. 2. God The speaker in this verse, instructing Ezekiel on how to receive His words. 3. Babylonian Exile The historical context in which Ezekiel prophesied, where the Israelites were in captivity in Babylon. 4. Israelites The primary audience of Ezekiel's prophecies, who were in need of repentance and restoration. 5. Vision of God The broader context of Ezekiel's calling and commissioning, where he receives visions and instructions from God. Teaching Points Listening with IntentJust as Ezekiel was instructed to listen carefully, believers are called to approach God's word with attentiveness and a readiness to understand. Internalizing God's Word The phrase "take them to heart" suggests a deep internalization of God's message, encouraging believers to meditate on and cherish Scripture. Obedience to God's Instructions Ezekiel's role as a prophet required obedience to God's words, reminding us of the importance of aligning our actions with God's will. The Role of the Heart in Faith The heart is central to our relationship with God, serving as the seat of our emotions, will, and understanding. We are called to engage our hearts fully with God's word. Preparation for Service Ezekiel's preparation involved listening and internalizing God's words, which is essential for anyone called to serve in ministry or share God's message.Verse 10. - All my words, etc. The stress lies on the first word. The prophet was not to pick and choose out of the message, but was to deliver "all the counsel of God" (Acts 20:27). Take into thine heart, etc. An inverted order of the two commands would, perhaps, have seemed more natural. What we actually find, however, is sufficiently suggestive. The message of Jehovah is first received into the inner depths of the soul, but in that stage it is vague, undefined, incommunicable. It needs to be clothed in articulate speech before it can be heard with the mental ear and passed on to others. The mouth speaks out of the fulness of the heart. Parallel Commentaries ...
