Ezekiel - Driven By The Vision of God
Ezekiel was a contemporary of Jeremiah and Daniel. He was a prophet called by God to minister to exiles. Ezekiel is referred to as the prophet of visions because he received numerous visions from God. He was driven by these visions to a ministry that would remind the exiled captives why they were in the predicament they were in but also to strengthen those who genuinely repented of their sin and returned with their hearts to God.

What is a "vision"? A vision is a supernatural enablement, communication, or revelation from God to see the spiritual significance in life and history, to see the will of God whether in the present, past or future. The vision God provides is the ability to see into the spiritual realm, and the ability to have spiritual insight that a person would not normally have in their own ability. This vision provided by God motivates and ignites within the recipient, a desire to fulfill, proclaim and be a part of God’s divine plan revealed by the vision. When God gives a vision to a person, He is saying, "That is what I desire to do; this is when and how I will do it." We need vision from God to direct our paths and lead us to the throne of His grace. The vision of God to man is essential to man’s survival.

The visions of this book are powerful because they are visions from God. Our world and the people in it lack vision. There is no sense of right and wrong. There is little sense of direction. The result is a world and people community that is wandering aimlessly in a fog. The Bible confirms this by stating, "Where there is no vision, the people perish" (Proverbs 29:18a). Don’t perish for lack of God’s vision in your life. Come study this powerful life changing book of the Bible and gain God’s vision for your life.
