He is a priest who, on his thirtieth birthday, has a dazzling vision of God on a wheeled throne; an odd prophet who engages in outlandish street theater and speaks for God on international affairs; and a seer who paints murals of apocalyptic doom and then of a restored temple bursting with emblems of paradise. Should we take this literally, reading the text as we read the news or a history textbook? Or is there a better way?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristopher Wright masterfully opens our eyes to see and understand the message of Ezekiel. Ezekiel's vision of the glory of God--its departure and return--is set first within Israel's history and then in the culmination of God's promises in Christ. Embedded in the pattern of the strange and the wonderful is a word that still speaks to God's people today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart of the beloved Bible Speaks Today series, \u003ci\u003eThe Message of Ezekiel\u003c\/i\u003e offers an insightful, readable exposition of the biblical text and thought-provoking discussion of how its meaning relates to contemporary life.
