The Abundant Life Bible Amplifier - Ezekiel

He has been called a neurotic prone to hysteria. Some consider him a psychopath, others see him as paranoid schizophrenic. Can they really be describing a prophet of God? An author of one of the books of the Bible?

The prophet Ezekiel is without a doubt one of the oddest characters of the Old Testament. A priest at the temple, he had a comfortable life amoung the better segments of Jerusalem society. But after living through the horrors of a siege, he was taken captive to a strange land.

Beginning with his "wheels within wheels" vision and encounter with God, Ezekiel's life took a turn for the bizarre. But the very actions that seem  so strange underline two important issues we face today.

With the able assistance of Dr. Robert McIver, religion professor at Avondale College in Australia, this study of Ezekiel will allow us to ask, "Why are bad things happening to good people? And what is God doing about it?"

Also, Ezekiel's visions spotlight events at the end of time. Do Ezekiel's words expose the social and political positioning of nations in the last days?

Ezekiel will bring us face to face with the actions of God in this world's past and in our lives today and in the future.
