Day 169: April 9, 2026 – Ezekiel 1-5 and Psalm 60

We transition to the prophet Ezekiel and right away we understand the geography of the prophecies uttered. The prophet Ezekiel was a prophet to the exiles in Babylon. We shall see that he, like Jesus, received his call to be a prophet when he was 30 and was instructed to give warning to the people of Israel to obey God. He is unusual in that he receives his call while the people of God are in captivity, and not while they are in Jerusalem. We also do have to say that his prophecies border on the fantastical.
