e-Bible Reading Plan

e-Bible Reading Plan

I loved Zek’s visions in the first of Ezekiel. I wonder if anybody has ever tried to draw that first vision. It was interesting to read what God asked Zek to do as a witness against Israel. But in chapter 4 when God told him to bake muffins over a fire made from human excrement – I was with Zeke – I wasn’t surprised when Zek protested mightily against that. God let Zek cook them over cow excrement instead – I am not sure that would have been enough of a compromise for me. And I got a big laugh out of Ezekiel 8 when Zek is sitting in his house talking to the leaders of Judah; God appeared before him, grabbed him by the hair and took him to Jerusalem. I am going to ask the Professional Christian this week if Zek was physically taken to Jerusalem – or only within the vision. Either way – I bet it freaked the leaders of Judah to the max. What God showed Zek in Jerusalem was nauseating – and yet – are we so different?

I loved the first chapter of Revelation – I loved all the descriptions of Jesus – loved it when He said that He holds the keys to death and hell – it reminded me that He will never unlock those doors for me. The seven seals on the scroll were a little frightening – I got that the second rider is war – the third is famine and the fourth is death – but what was the first rider? Revelation is going to talk about some pretty horrible things that are going to take place on the earth - but remember – when it is all said and done – we win.
