Ezekiel 1

Commentary

The book of Ezekiel is a powerful and prophetic work that speaks to the exile of the Jewish people, their need for repentance, and ultimate restoration to God. Ezekiel's vision of God's glory highlights the sovereignty and holiness of the Lord. The imagery of the four living creatures, representing the different aspects of God's creation, reminds us of the majesty and immensity of God's power. The vision also emphasizes the importance of obedience and awe towards the Lord, as demonstrated by Ezekiel's response of falling on his face in reverence.
