We had some unknown technical issues in today’s show and some of the audio is garbled but I think you will still enjoy it. I talk with Dr. Rick Wadholm Jr. about why Christians shouldn’t avoid Ezekiel, even though it’s weird, graphic, and theologically challenging. We explore how Ezekiel opens with God’s glory showing up with the exiles in Babylon, then leaving the temple on a mobile throne and moving toward the displaced, which becomes a powerful message that God hasn’t abandoned people under judgment. I discuss Ezekiel’s strange prophetic actions, the “Son of Man” theme, and the mysterious figure who looks like a man near the throne, including connections to Revelation. We also unpack the Valley of Dry Bones as hope for return from exile and the Spirit’s “already/not yet” restoration.
