Every time we read the Bible, we saw that there are many new things that keep coming out of the Bible as if they are alive. And they are! The Bible is God-breathed and All Scripture is useful for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteous. Ruach simply ignites us! God blew his Spirit into us through those alive words that kept moving and jumping in the Bible like how the miniature indians from "the Indian in the Cupboard" jumped out of the cupboard.
"And he called the man clothed in linen, who had the writing case at his waist." Then he went through the city to put a mark on the foreheads of the men who is in anguish over the outrageous things being done in the city against God. But when he went through the city, he found no one to put the mark on, so Ezekiel was the only one who survived! Is the Spirit marked upon us?
"And I will give them one heart, and a new spirit I will put within them. I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh." God replaced the old with the new! After the wipeout, He came to renew us so that we may walk upon the salvation, upon the path marked with suffering, to walk with Jesus gleefully to the cross.
"Who have eyes to see, but see not, who have ears to hear, but hear not, for they are a rebellious house." God warned Ezekiel not to dwell among them. Although Israel is God's people, but they are in a rebellious house when they became deaf and blind to the Spirit. Israel is the Body of Christ today. Helen Keller once said something like this, "Deafness separates people from people while blindness separates people from the things." We are deaf to God when we choose to listen to the voices of the world rather than God's voice. We are blind to God when we choose to see things of the world rather than seeing God's kingdom that is to come.
Wow! God is speaking Revelation to us, the Church, in Ezekiel! Now are you seeing how the Bible is jumping out of it's own page across the pages?
