🌈 The
Story of Ezekiel — Visions, Judgment, and Restoration
Part One:
The Call of Ezekiel
Ezekiel was among the exiles in Babylon when
God called him:
“Son of man, I am sending you to the people of
Israel, to speak My words to them.”
He saw a vision of God’s glory:
- Wheels
within wheels
- Creatures
with four faces and wings
- The
brightness of God’s presence
Ezekiel was overwhelmed but obedient:
“I will speak the words You give me.”
God made it clear: his messages were meant to warn,
correct, and bring hope.
Part Two:
Warnings and Judgment
Ezekiel warned the Israelites about:
- Rebellion
and idolatry
- Corruption
and injustice
- Refusal
to listen to God
He used symbolic acts to illustrate
God’s judgment:
- Lying
on his side to represent Israel’s sin
- Cutting
his hair and dividing it to show destruction
God promised that sin would have consequences,
but His goal was restoration, not annihilation.
Part Three:
Messages of Hope
Even in exile, God spoke of hope:
- Israel
would return to their land
- God
would cleanse them from sin
- They
would have a new heart and a new spirit
“I will give you a new heart and put a new
spirit in you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of
flesh.”
Ezekiel’s vision included a restored
temple, renewed worship, and God’s presence dwelling among His people.
Part Four:
The Valley of Dry Bones
One of the most famous visions:
- Ezekiel
saw a valley full of dry bones
- God
asked, “Can these bones live?”
- As
Ezekiel prophesied, the bones came together, flesh and breath returned,
and they stood alive
This symbolized Israel’s revival — even
the most hopeless situation is not beyond God’s power.
Part Five:
Lessons from Ezekiel
Ezekiel teaches us:
- God is
holy, powerful, and present, even in exile or difficulty
- Sin
has consequences, but God desires repentance and restoration
- God
can bring life and hope to the seemingly impossible
- Obedience
and faithfulness are crucial, even when others reject God
