The priest-prophet of Ezekiel, received visions from the Lord while now exiled in Babylon. The Lord revealed a heavenly vision of One that had an appearance as unto a man who was above something like a throne on wheels. This glorious vision brought Ezekiel to his knees, but the Spirit raised him to his feet. Ezekiel is to be a watchman to the house of Israel and tell them what the Lord said. If he does not, their blood will be on him, but if he does, he will be delivered. There was also a time that the Lord closed his mouth from speaking, but when it was opened again, he was to say, "He that hears, let him hear; and he that refuses, let him refuse, for they are a rebellious house."
