O Mortal, Stand Up

Ezekiel 2:1-5

Ezekiel 2:1-5 (NRSV): The Vision of the Scroll

1 He said to me: O mortal, stand up on your feet, and I will speak with you. 2 And when he spoke to me, a spirit entered into me and set me on my feet; and I heard him speaking to me. 3 He said to me, Mortal, I am sending you to the people of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me; they and their ancestors have transgressed against me to this very day. 4 The descendants are impudent and stubborn. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, “Thus says the Lord God.” 5 Whether they hear or refuse to hear (for they are a rebellious house), they shall know that there has been a prophet among them.

Queries:

When may I have played a “prophetic” role? What was that experience like?

To whom am I feeling “sent”? What is my “inspired” message to them?

How have prophetic words from others set me free?

Who are the prophetic voices in our world right now? What are they saying to us?
