Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the River Chebar, that the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God. On the fifth day of the month, which was in the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity, the word of the LORD came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the River Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was upon him there. Then I looked, and behold, a whirlwind was coming out of the north, a great cloud with raging fire engulfing itself; and brightness was all around it and radiating out of its midst like the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire. Also from within it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man. Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings.

Do you long to feel a closer connection to God? To discern His voice, experience His peace and live in His joy? We are not the first people to believe our doubts and doubt our beliefs when circumstances spiral out of control. Ezekiel’s prophecies paint a unique picture of revival– one sparked through people who seemed counted out, cast aside and disregarded. Invite God to fill you with fresh fire.
The idea of home resonates deeply— a safe haven, surrounded by those who love you. Exile evokes displacement and estrangement. The story of humanity begins in Eden but swiftly results in banishment. Look around; the signs of displacement and discord are evident. The intentions of God have been hijacked, our perfect communion broken. All creation groans; yet there’s a way back. During exile, hope lingers — a promise unbroken.
