during the First Babylonian Attack on the city.

but they took a first wave of Israelite prisoners

So the book begins five years after all that.

And Ezekiel was sitting on the bank of an irrigation canal

the year that he would have been installed

And then all of a sudden Ezekiel has this vision.

And then inside the cloud are four strange creatures

that have wings outstretched and touching each other.

And these creatures each had each four faces.

And then he saw four wheels-- one by each creature.

And then he saw that the wings of the creatures

And then sitting on that throne is this human-like creature

And then all of a sudden Ezekiel realizes what he's seeing.

"the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD."

It's God riding His royal throne chariot.

to describe the physical appearance and manifestation

of God's significance when He shows up in person.

when God appeared on Mount Sinai on the book of Exodus.

And is also very similar to the depictions of God's presence

And that's actually the most shocking thing about Ezekiel's vision,

It's supposed to be above the Ark of the Covenant

And so the first section of the book opens to explore that question

as Ezekiel begins to accuse Israel of rebellion.

So God first speaks to Ezekiel from the throne chariot

Ezekiel is to accuse Israel of breaking their covenant agreement with God in a couple of ways.

Israel has given their allegiance to other gods

and start behaving in this really bizarre ways

that were like parables of his prophetic message.

So he was supposed to build a tiny model of Jerusalem

And he would lay on his side for over a year

as a sign of the nasty food that people would have to eat

And perhaps the most disheartening thing of all

because of their rebellious and hard heart.

And this recalls Moses' description of the people after the wilderness rebellion

when he predicted that exile would one day happen.

And Ezekiel had the unfortunate privilege of seeing it all come to pass.

And so a dismayed Ezekiel, he begins to perform his task.

And after about a year he has another vision.

He goes on this virtual tour of the temple

and he sees what's happening there in his absence.

In the outer courtyard, in front of the temple,

And then he sees the elders of Israel worshiping other gods,

they're worshiping a Babylonian god named Tammuz.

And the vision ends with God's glorious throne chariot
