CHAPTER VISUAL

Ezekiel 2 — The Watchman Receives the Scroll.

About this illustration

The composition centers the watchman receives the scroll as the chapter’s defining visual. It keeps judgment non-graphic, reserves a quiet title area, and avoids written words and any bodily depiction of God.

Scripture basis: Ezekiel 2:1–10
  1. 1And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.
  2. 2And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.
  3. 3And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day.
  4. 4For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.
  5. 5And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.
  6. 6 And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
  7. 7And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
  8. 8But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.
  9. 9 And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;
  10. 10And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.

Legally Blind

Pastor Dean Odle warns that believers can become spiritually blind through pride, passivity, and failure to practice or rightly interpret Scripture. Moving from James 1 and Jesus' confrontations with the Pharisees to Paul's pastoral commands and Christ's rebuke of Laodicea, he urges humility, careful study, prayer, and honest self-examination. Odle applies the warning to disputes over salvation, spiritual gifts, women in ministry, and biblical creation, attributing deception to isolated proof texts and resistance to correction. He closes from 2 Corinthians 5 with the judgment seat of Christ, a call to be reconciled to God, and a prayer for the Holy Spirit to open believers' eyes.
