Announcements – March 1, 2024

By AdministratorUncategorized
Beloved Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,
What did the prophet Ezekiel see there in the ancient city of Babylon in the year 593 BC?
Well, from our previous studies in this great book of prophecy we’ve learned that he encountered a massive desert storm (1:4), four living creatures (1:5-14), and wheels within wheels (1:15-21). As you would suspect, all of this has sparked not only great fascination with the Book of Ezekiel, but also much wild speculation as to the identity and meaning of these images.
Even more significant for contemporary readers like us is the question of the relevance of such a strange vision.  We naturally want to know how the experience of Ezekiel, over 2600 years ago, connects to the plan of redemption and to our lives as the New Covenant people of God.  At the risk of sounding a bit pedantic, we might well ask, is there anything in this bizarre vision that helps, strengthens, and encourages us to live more faithfully for Christ today in our modern world?
Well, of course, the answer is a resounding ‘Yes’!
This coming Lord’s Day we are going to take a very close look at the visions of the Heavenly Creatures (vv. 5-14), and the Heavenly Wheels (vv. 15-21).  And what we will discover as we do will be life-changing, guaranteed!
I love you all so much, always!
Mike
