EZEKIEL: THE STORY OF THE PROPHET WHO SAW THE THRONE OF GOD | #biblestories

EZEKIEL (THE STORY OF THE PROPHET WHO SAW THE THRONE OF GOD) “Hello, everyone! Welcome back to our channel, where we delve into the timeless tales of the Bible. Today, we embark on an intriguing journey into the story of Ezekiel, a prophet who not only witnessed the throne of God but also delivered powerful messages to the ancient nations of Israel and Judah. His prophecies spanned decades and foresaw the rise and fall of nations, offering a profound glimpse into the divine plan. Join me, Bible Stories, as we unravel the captivating narrative of Ezekiel and explore the profound messages embedded in his prophecies.“ Ezekiel means “God will strengthen“ or “God will prevail.“ Like Jeremiah, he was both a priest and a prophet, part of the large group of captives transported to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar in 597 BCE, ten years before the destruction of Jerusalem. These captives were dispersed in different settlements throughout Babylon, forming small communities with a certain degree of organization and freedom of worship. About five years later, at the age of 30, still in captivity, God called Ezekiel to serve as a prophet. About six years before the destruction of Jerusalem, his prophecies continued for 16 years after Jerusalem’s fall, covering a period of about 22 years. So, in today’s video, we will talk about the story of the prophet Ezekiel and his prophecies. My name is Lucas Dário, and welcome. The testimony of Jesus Christ and the overflow of grace.

Ezekiel’s Message: Ezekiel’s primary commission was to act as a watchman on behalf of God. His message was directed to Jerusalem and Judah, mentioned 23 times in the first 24 chapters. Interestingly, the phrase “house of Israel“ occurs in 78 verses of the book, while “house of Judah“ is found only five times. Many people mistakenly assume that these terms refer to the same group, but not all Jews are Israelites, and not all Israelites are Jews. #biblestories #prophetizekiel #throneofgod
