Thankful for Visions of God!
Scripture reading for September 15th: Ezekiel 39-42
Key Scriptures: Ezekiel 40:2-4 “In visions of God He took me to the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain, on whose south side were some buildings that looked like a city. He took me there, and I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze; he was standing in the gateway with a linen cord and a measuring rod in his hand. The man said to me, “Son of man, look with your eyes and hear with your ears and pay attention to everything I am going to show you, for that is why you have been brought here. Tell the house of Israel everything you see.”
Ezekiel was taken by God to Israel and given a vision of what looked like a city on the side of a great mountain. He then saw a man that was bronze in color standing in a gateway of this city with a linen cord and a measuring rod in his hand. Ezekiel was told to write down everything he saw and heard and tell it to the house of Israel. John, the Revelator, had a similar vision while in the Spirit on Patmos!
Thankful for John’s vision: “The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls. The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,ooo stadia in length, and as wide and high as it was long.” (Revelation 21:15-16)
