Ezekiel Eats the Scroll
(Revelation 10:1–11)
“Son of man,” He said to me, “eat what you find here. Eat this scroll, then go and speak to the house of Israel.” Rev 10:9-10Ezk 3:17-21Ezk 2:8-91Ti 4:15Ezk 3:15Jer 24:1-7Ezk 2:3Ezk 3:10-11
So I opened my mouth, and He fed me the scroll. Jer 25:17Act 26:19
“Son of man,” He said to me, “eat and fill your stomach with this scroll I am giving you.” Jer 15:16Rev 10:9-10Psa 119:103Psa 19:10Col 3:16Pro 2:10-11Psa 119:11Psa 119:97
So I ate, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
Then He said to me, “Son of man, go now to the house of Israel and speak My words to them. Act 1:8Mat 15:24Ezk 2:3Ezk 2:7Ezk 3:11Mat 10:5-6 For you are not being sent to a people of unfamiliar speech or difficult language, but to the house of Israel— Jon 1:2Isa 33:19Act 26:17-18Ezk 3:6Isa 28:11Jon 3:2-4Psa 81:5 not to the many peoples of unfamiliar speech and difficult language whose words you cannot understand. Surely if I had sent you to them, they would have listened to you. Jon 3:5-10Luk 11:30-32Mat 11:20-24Mat 12:41-42Rom 9:30-33Act 27:28
But the house of Israel will be unwilling to listen to you, since they are unwilling to listen to Me. For the whole house of Israel is hard-headed and hard-hearted. Luk 10:161Sa 8:7Ezk 2:4Jhn 15:20-24Ezk 24:7Isa 3:9Jer 25:3-4Jer 3:3
Behold, I will make your face as hard as their faces, and your forehead as hard as their foreheads. Jer 1:18Act 7:51-561Ki 21:20Exo 11:4-8Exo 4:15-16Heb 11:27Heb 11:32-37Isa 50:7 I will make your forehead like a diamond, harder than flint. Do not be afraid of them or dismayed at their presence, even though they are a rebellious house.” Ezk 2:6Jer 1:8Isa 41:10Isa 50:7Zec 7:121Ti 2:3Isa 41:14Jer 17:18
“Son of man,” He added, “listen carefully to all the words I speak to you, and take them to heart. Job 22:22Psa 119:11Luk 8:15Ezk 2:8Ezk 3:1-31Th 2:131Th 4:1Pro 19:20 Go to your people, the exiles; speak to them and tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says,’ whether they listen or refuse to listen.” Ezk 2:7Ezk 2:5Ezk 3:27Ezk 33:2Ezk 33:12Ezk 33:17Ezk 33:30Act 20:26-27
Then the Spirit 1lifted me up, and I heard a great rumbling sound behind me: ‘Blessed be the glory of the LORD in His dwelling place!’ 2 Act 8:39Ezk 8:3Act 2:2Ezk 11:11Ki 18:12Ezk 3:141Sa 4:21-222Ki 2:16 It was the sound of the wings of the living creatures brushing against one another and the sound of the wheels beside them, a great rumbling sound. Ezk 1:24Ezk 10:16-17Ezk 10:52Sa 5:24Ezk 1:15
So the Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness and in the anger of my spirit, with the strong hand of the LORD upon me. 2Ki 3:15Ezk 37:1Jer 20:7-9Ezk 8:32Ki 2:16Ezk 1:3Ezk 3:121Ki 18:46 I came to the exiles at Tel-abib who dwelt by the River Kebar. And for seven days I sat where they sat and remained there among them, overwhelmed. Job 2:13Psa 137:1Ezk 1:1Gen 50:10Ezk 10:15Hab 3:16Jer 23:9Ezk 3:23
A Watchman for Israel
At the end of seven days the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Jer 42:7 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from My mouth, give them a warning from Me. 2Ch 19:10Heb 13:17Isa 52:8Col 1:28Isa 62:6Jer 6:171Co 4:141Th 5:14
If I say to the wicked man, ‘You will surely die,’ but you do not warn him or speak out to warn him from his wicked way to save his life, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, 3 and I will hold you responsible for his blood. Ezk 33:6Jas 5:19-20Ezk 3:20Act 20:26-27Ezk 33:8-10Luk 13:51Ti 4:16Act 2:40 But if you warn a wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness and his wicked way, he will die in his iniquity, but you will have saved yourself. Ezk 33:91Ti 4:16Ezk 14:202Th 1:8-9Ezk 14:14Heb 12:25Act 20:26Heb 10:26-27
Now if a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die. If you did not warn him, he will die in his sin, 4 and the righteous acts he did will not be remembered. And I will hold you responsible for his blood. Ezk 18:24Ezk 18:26Ezk 33:12-13Ezk 3:18Heb 10:38Rom 2:7-82Pe 2:18-22Psa 125:5 But if you warn the righteous man not to sin, and he does not sin, he will indeed live because he heeded your warning, and you will have saved yourself.” 1Ti 4:161Co 4:14Jas 5:20Pro 9:9Tit 2:151Jn 3:6-9Act 20:31Ezk 3:19-20
And there the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He said to me, “Get up, go out to the plain, and there I will speak with you.” Act 9:6Ezk 1:3Ezk 37:1Ezk 8:4Ezk 3:14
So I got up and went out to the plain, and behold, the glory of the LORD was present there, like the glory I had seen by the River Kebar, and I fell facedown. Ezk 1:28Act 7:55Rev 1:17Dan 10:8-9Dan 8:17Ezk 1:1-4Ezk 10:18Ezk 9:3
Then the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet. He spoke with me and said, “Go, shut yourself inside your house. Ezk 2:2Dan 10:19Dan 10:8-10Ezk 37:10Ezk 4:1-4 And you, son of man, they will tie with ropes, and you will be bound so that you cannot go out among the people. Ezk 4:8Act 20:23Act 21:11-13Act 9:16Jhn 21:18Mrk 3:21 I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, and you will be silent and unable to rebuke them, though they are a rebellious house. Ezk 24:27Amo 8:11-12Luk 1:20-22Mic 3:6-7Psa 137:6Psa 51:15Amo 5:10Ezk 2:3-8
But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you are to tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’ Whoever listens, let him listen; and whoever refuses, let him refuse, for they are a rebellious house. Ezk 12:2-3Ezk 24:27Ezk 3:11Ezk 29:21Eph 6:19Exo 4:11-12Ezk 11:25Ezk 2:5
