“And the man said to me, ‘Son of man, look with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart upon all that I shall show you, for you were brought here in order that I might show it to you. Declare all that you see to the house of Israel.’” (Ezekiel 40:4)
This is interesting. Although this was a vision, Ezekiel was told to see with his physical eyes and hear with his real ears. The details will be clear to Ezekiel.
Second, Ezekiel was told to declare the content of the vision to the house of Israel. Since this appears in the Bible, it seems that Ezekiel obeyed. Question: How many in the house of Israel have any idea of this vision? Very few.
Similarly, many who identify as Christians have little to no idea what the Bible says. Me included. So rather than throw stones at the Jews, I need to look in the mirror and get busy knowing and obeying what my own book says.
Father, help me to live in a way that says I really believe in you and that I know and understand your book. Amen.
