You Don’t Want to be a Prophet: The Ezekiel series, part 41 (24:15-27)

The Cross References Podcast with Luke Taylor: Episode 96
Ezekiel as a book has been full of sign-acts- ways that Ezekiel acts things out in his life to demonstrate what God wants to communicate to the people of Israel. And in this chapter, he’s going to get his toughest one yet.
Everybody wants to be a prophet. They think giving oracles and performing sign-acts sounds so cool and exciting. They don’t realize what being a prophet costs.
Hosea had a unique assignment; he had to marry an unfaithful woman and then deal with a cheating wife.
Daniel was thrown into a pit of lions.
Jeremiah was thrown into a pit of waste-deep mud and left there for days.
Isaiah was sawed in half. Being a prophet carried a heavy cost.
And today, we’ll find out what it would cost Ezekiel on the Cross References podcast.
