On July 31 of my thirtieth year, while I was with the Judean exiles beside the Kebar River in Babylon, the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God. This happened during the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity. (The LORD gave this message to Ezekiel son of Buzi, a priest, beside the Kebar River in the land of the Babylonians, and he felt the hand of the LORD take hold of him.)

Tony Evans gives an overview of each book found in what is called "The Major Prophets" of the Bible. In this five-day reading plan, you'll learn about Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel and Daniel
Ezekiel is one of the more unusual prophets, and he brings to light some very interesting and revolutionary prophetic insights. We will look at some in this short series of reflections. Ezekiel, a major prophet, prophesied to Israel when he and they were in exile in Babylon - speaking of their past, about their present, and to their future.
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.
