Week 21 - Ezekiel: Watchman in Exile, Four-Faced Creatures, and an Adulterous People (Jeremiah 51-52, Ezekiel 1-20)

This week we finish up Jeremiah and move onto our third major prophet, Ezekiel. In Ezekiel, we see an aspiring priest become God's prophet in exile. We look at Ezekiel's powerful visions of the Lord on his cherubim throne and the judgment coming to Jerusalem for idolatry (including an amazing mark place on people's foreheads). We also see Ezekiel act out signs for the people including shaving his hair, laying on his side for over a year, and cooking his food on dung. Through all this, we see the story of God's people's faithlessness which Ezekiel depicts as a faithless wife. We close out by discussing a question on why the northern kingdom of Israel never gets to reestablish like the southern kingdom.
