Ezekiel 1-5
OMFG! Are you kidding me?!?! Another prophet reporting on the exile and the fall of Jerusalem?
This is proof that there is a god and that he hates me.
The bright note about Ezekiel (the beginning of the book anyway) is that it merges two groups that believe in far-fetched ideas, UFO enthusiasts and the religious.
The LORD asks much of Ezekiel. Laying on a brick for almost 400 days sounds like a cushy job but it's got to be boring as hell and on top of that he's on a bread and water diet.
Speaking of which, God seems to have invented multi-grain bread. But don't go looking for it. The LORD is going to starve one third of the people to death for their sins against him.
He also plans to kill another third thru pestilence and terrorize the remaining third with the swords of Israel's enemies
Even though Ezekiel's writing is better, he still have the same "you guys suck" message as Jeremiah.
I'm slowly catching up! Did you know you can buy cereal based on Ezekiel 4:9? I've seen it at both Whole Foods and Target. Never bought it, though, as I'm not so much on beans and lentils for breakfast.
