Ezekiel Chapter 3: Bible Study BY Atheists

Ezekiel Chapter 3: Bible Study BY Atheists

Sink your skeptic teeth into this latest episode of our irreverently insightful podcast, where we take a no-holds-barred bite out of Ezekiel Chapter 3. We're dishing out a divine blend of biblical critique and side-splitting commentary that's bound to be your guilty pleasure—even if you're not into the whole 'guilt' thing. Get ready for a whirlwind tour of celestial fast food, hard-headed prophets, and God's peculiar preference for in-house messengers.


Ever wondered if the prophets of old were just the biblical era's best performance artists? We've got you covered. In this episode, we scrutinize the Almighty's curious choice of cuisine and whether eating scrolls was Ezekiel's way of demonstrating his devotion, or just his attempt at securing the "Most Bizarre Diet" award in ancient Judah.


Join us as we question the nutritional value of divine scrolls and debate the true flavor of the word of God. Was it truly as sweet as honey, or is that just what you tell yourself when you're choking down a mouthful of parchment? Plus, we dive headfirst into the deep end of prophetic responsibility. Could modern door-to-door evangelists learn a thing or two from Ezekiel's divine delivery service?


We'll explore the ancient equivalent of receiving a DM from the deity, the complexities of being a watchman with the ethics of a stone wall, and why today's street preachers might be getting it all wrong. If you thought your job was tough, try being a prophet with the world's most unforgiving boss.


Don't miss our tongue-in-cheek parallels to pop culture, where we equate Ezekiel's unwavering determination with your favorite fantasy heroes. And if you think a cherub-powered Uber is weird, wait till you hear our take on God's hard-headed approach to personnel management.


So, if you're in the mood for a little blasphemy with your breakfast, or just need a good laugh at the expense of some serious scripture, tune in to our Ezekiel Chapter 3 roast. It's like attending the best Bible study ever—minus the belief part, and with way more booze. Remember to like, share, and subscribe for more sacred snark and divine debate. God may not be watching, but we hope you are!

[00:01:15] Welcome to sacrilegious discourse. I'm husband and I'm wife together

[00:01:19] We're reading the Bible for the very first time we grew up without religion and wanted to know what all the fuss was about

[00:01:25] Well, what have we learned so far that God is a dick and apparently some people believe in talking donkeys

[00:01:32] We're not trying to pass ourselves off as experts

[00:01:34] Nope

[00:01:34] We're just reading the Bible for the first time and given our first take reaction

[00:01:38] If you'd like to join us in this venture you might consider starting that episode one otherwise jump in wherever you like

[00:01:44] All right, let's go read the Bible. Yeah, let's get to it

[00:01:50] Husband wife do you remember what happened yesterday and where the hell we are?

[00:01:56] Well yesterday we got done reading

[00:01:59] Ezekiel chapter 2 and I do have to start off by apologizing for the audio content in that we are

[00:02:05] Messing around with some live streaming tools that didn't work out very well yesterday. So you are sorry

[00:02:13] I am very sorry. It was not good. I think we have this rectified at some level today

[00:02:20] So we're gonna go forward from here hoping that all this goes well that being said yesterday in Ezekiel chapter 2

[00:02:29] Ezekiel started the chapter in the ground in the dirt on the ground on the ground in the dirt

[00:02:35] Yeah, and God like embodied him and then he brought him to his feet. Yeah. Yeah

[00:02:41] And then that was after having showed him his magic car. Yeah

[00:02:46] Yeah

[00:02:51] Wheels with eyes for days

[00:02:54] But the part that really stood out to me in chapter 2 was that

[00:02:57] Ezekiel was given a scroll from God into his mouth that he then swallowed. Yeah, I

[00:03:04] Guess he I don't know what like to me this like I'm thinking golem, right?

[00:03:10] See I couldn't find anything that

[00:03:13] Verified that just on a cursory check

[00:03:15] Like on a you know very like just what I know of Jewish legends

[00:03:21] It seemed very golemish. It did seem very folklore. Yeah, so I I'm intrigued as to what's gonna come next

[00:03:29] Christian apologists, which I know we are not at the New Testament

[00:03:32] So we're not supposed to even know about Christians yet, right? But they fucking love

[00:03:39] Jeremiah lamentations and

[00:03:42] This guy is Eekiel or easy Kyle as I like to call him and

[00:03:48] You know these whole prophecy things

[00:03:52] That these dudes do

[00:03:54] They're like these profit prophecies are awesome because then Jesus fulfilled them in the New Testament

[00:04:00] so they're like in love with this shit, right and

[00:04:03] They say

[00:04:05] That it was a symbolic eating of God's word to have the living word inside you

[00:04:11] So it wasn't like an actual scroll. It was more like a magic power-up

[00:04:17] Okay, okay, so this is like when Mario eats the mushroom or the star

[00:04:22] yeah, or like when you're in your like dungeon crawl games and

[00:04:28] You know, you have to like bottle of health, right? Right? It's like that

[00:04:33] Only it's a scroll and God's words are on it. Sure sure. You're not really eating it. You're just you know power up, right?

[00:04:41] I gotcha. All right. Well anyway, that was

[00:04:45] Ezekiel chapter 2 sure fuck was which means that today we're gonna be getting into

[00:04:50] Ezekiel chapter 3. All right, let's do this Okie-dokie

[00:06:46] Okay, so you remember where we left off right God's just chatting with them send in a real chill message

[00:06:52] Yeah, and he ate that she ate the scroll. Yeah, right?

[00:06:56] So we're starting out like mid sentence again, okay, and he said to me

[00:07:02] So as he feels like anyways God was talking to me and he goes he goes right? Yeah, so now I'm I'm God

[00:07:10] Okay, okay son of man eat what is before you eat the scroll then go and speak to the people of Israel

[00:07:30] Sounds like like this could this is this is the weirdo yankovic song needs to be set to this this chapter

[00:07:36] Well, the eat me something eat eat it eat it yeah

[00:07:40] well that and like I babysit a toddler and sometimes feeding him is

[00:07:46] Traumatic, and I'm always just like one more bite baby one more bite

[00:07:53] Figuring God

[00:07:55] Little baby spoon, but instead of saying just one more bite and then you can be done

[00:08:00] And it's so healthy for you help you grow big boy

[00:08:06] Okay, sorry sorry, okay? I'm a zekeal again

[00:08:14] E-q's been fun so far. Yeah, this is kind of fun. I'm having fun with his work shit

[00:08:19] So I opened up my fucking mouth and he gave me the scroll to eat

[00:08:24] Yeah, okay, cuz you know then he says to me he says

[00:08:29] Son of man eat this scroll. I'm giving you one

[00:08:33] stomach with it

[00:08:35] Okay, okay. Yeah, yeah, it must be a big-ass scroll. It's so big

[00:08:42] You don't know how big I

[00:08:45] Mean he does not need to have a pickup truck with the nut sack hanging off the back

[00:08:51] That's how big it is. Yeah, so I ate it and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth

[00:08:58] Yeah, dude

[00:09:00] He says to me then son of man go now to the people of Israel and speak my words to them

[00:09:07] Now keep in mind we talked about this last time

[00:09:09] But son of man is actually kind of a disparaging remark at at a zikio

[00:09:13] Yeah, he's not like a real disparaging remark, but like it's

[00:09:17] Placing him in order below God for sure

[00:09:20] Yeah

[00:09:20] He's like not quite calling him a worm as he has in the past called his people worms

[00:09:26] But he's definitely like don't go thinking we're equals just cuz I'm yakking atcha, right? Like you are definitely a mere

[00:09:34] Human is what that translates to right mere human. Yes, son of a bitch

[00:09:40] You are not being sent to a people of obscure speech and strange language

[00:09:46] But to the people of

[00:09:48] Israel

[00:09:49] Not to many peoples of obscure speech and strange language whose words you cannot understand

[00:09:54] Are you following me so don't help the foreigners?

[00:09:57] No, no, no, he will get there in a minute. Oh, like I've read notes on this

[00:10:01] So I understand what he's saying is you've got a harder job

[00:10:04] You're not going out to people who don't know what the message is and never saw you before

[00:10:09] You are gonna go speak to your own

[00:10:12] Okay, okay, and that's harder like we personally know that from Jeremiah

[00:10:17] He got tore up right by speaking to his own. No, he definitely did so

[00:10:22] I mean this guy a scroll so he's probably good. He's good. He's got God inside him. Yeah

[00:10:28] So, okay, so God saying you know, you're not going out to talk to people whose words you cannot understand

[00:10:34] Surely if I had sent you to them

[00:10:36] They would have listened to you now see I also read somewhere that the reason that that is so is apparently

[00:10:45] people from other nations they always revered

[00:10:50] prophets and magic men and like

[00:10:53] People of high stature that that gave these you know messages from on high like my imagine it was a little bit

[00:10:58] Other places sure. It was a bit like a traveling show, right?

[00:11:02] Yeah, like you've never heard this story before. Yeah, they're like wow. What's this all about?

[00:11:06] Yeah, your magic cool. I haven't heard of this God before let's go find let's go see

[00:11:11] That's what you always about you know God crawl

[00:11:14] So, yeah, so he's like that would be that would have been easy they would have listened to you

[00:11:20] They would have been interested right in what you had to say sure but the people of Israel are

[00:11:25] Not willing to listen to you because they are not willing to listen to me for all the Israelites are hardened and

[00:11:33] Obstinate they are so fucking hard

[00:11:35] Oh

[00:11:39] Somebody told me to grow up once and I was like but why then you didn't yeah, yeah, why but you know

[00:11:46] Doesn't God have the ability to soften and harden? He does he has all the ability. He's got the magic hands

[00:11:52] You would think he could harden it. He could soften it. He can make their hearts flaccid

[00:11:58] He can make them a wrecked. Yep. Yep Jesus

[00:12:01] Um for those keeping track at home that was the sound of husband rolling his eyes at me

[00:12:10] Yeah, yeah. Oh very hard

[00:12:12] But I will make you as

[00:12:15] Unyielding and hardened as they are everybody gonna be hard up in here. Okay. Yeah, okay?

[00:12:20] I will make your forehead like the hardest stone harder than flint

[00:12:26] Wow, you could you could bounce a quarter off that

[00:12:29] What is the point of making his forehead as hard as stone so that when they throw rocks that I might bounces off

[00:12:37] Okay, I don't know cuz I have what's called a really high forehead and

[00:12:42] So what that means is that my hairline is farther back

[00:12:46] So like I was always made fun of in school for having a big ass

[00:12:51] Forehead and all I could think is if it was hard as flint

[00:12:55] Then I could have been maybe cool cuz I could have bounced shit off of it

[00:12:59] Maybe maybe then people want to make fun of me as much. I guess maybe who knows okay?

[00:13:04] God's still talking though. He's like harder than flint. Okay. Yeah, do not be afraid of them or terrified by them

[00:13:10] Though they are a rebellious people which we know because we use that word a hundred times

[00:13:16] Yeah, and he said to me continued is Eekiel

[00:13:20] No, God is talking again son of man. Yes, son of a bitch

[00:13:25] Listen carefully and take to heart all the words I speak to you. You know the ones I made you fucking eat

[00:13:31] Yeah, go now to your people in exile and speak to them bitches

[00:13:36] Okay, okay say to them

[00:13:38] This is what the sovereign Lord says whether they listen or fail to listen

[00:13:43] Don't worry about it sure cuz he's got he made your head like flint

[00:13:47] Yeah, but he's like that's besides for the purposes of this conversation

[00:13:52] Don't worry about their response. That's not what I'm here to tell you about okay

[00:13:56] They might fucking hate your job just to say it regardless say the words no matter what they do say the words

[00:14:02] Okay, yeah, so that I can check the box and be like what I told you okay?

[00:14:07] You got the message. That's not my fault right. Okay sure. Okay now. We're back to Eekiel talking okay?

[00:14:14] Then the spirit lifted me up again Wow and I heard behind me a loud

[00:14:21] Rumbling sound as the glory of the Lord rose from the place where it was standing

[00:14:27] It must have been stormy season because there's a lot of storms

[00:14:30] Like there's a lot of rumbling and lights in the sky and you know or he just really likes his drugs

[00:14:36] I mean, there's one of those two things. Why does it have to be either or maybe it's both

[00:14:40] I'm going with both okay

[00:14:41] if I guarantee you that if you took the right drugs and sat out in the middle of a

[00:14:47] Storm watching you see some crazy shit. Yeah, yeah watching the lightning and the clouds rolling over and hearing the thunder

[00:14:54] Yeah, you too would probably see a fucking carriage with eyes all the way down

[00:14:59] Okay, it was the sound of the wings of the living creatures the cherubim

[00:15:06] Okay, yeah, the we're headed the four-headed monstrosities for winged

[00:15:12] Flying purple people eaters exactly. Yeah

[00:15:14] It was the sound of their wings

[00:15:17] brushing against each other and the sound of the wheels beside them allowed rumbling sound dude was describing an engine

[00:15:25] Before engines were invented from well. Yeah, that's rumbly. Yeah, right? Yeah, it's kind of cool

[00:15:31] Yeah in a way sure

[00:15:34] Or thunder I mean, right

[00:15:37] I mean half the time we're standing out on the porch and I'm like is that thunder and you're like no

[00:15:41] It's a car and then I'm like listening. I'm like no actually it's a plane

[00:15:46] Like I can't tell the difference it all sounds the fucking same

[00:15:49] Yeah

[00:15:49] The spirit then lifted me up and took me away

[00:15:52] And I went in bitterness and in the anger of my spirit with the strong hand of the Lord on me

[00:15:58] I came to the exiles who lived at Tel Aviv near the Kabar River and there where they were living

[00:16:06] I sat among them for seven days deeply distressed

[00:16:10] Okay, all right. I got some notes about this before we carry on

[00:16:14] Okay, cuz some of this wording is like what?

[00:16:17] Sure. All right, so let me get down to these words. Okay, so remember that time

[00:16:22] I just now said he went to Tel Aviv

[00:16:25] Yes in some places it's Tel Aviv

[00:16:27] Okay, depends on what translation you're reading sure but either way this is Hebrew for the hill of ears of corn

[00:16:36] Okay, but other translation say no no no no it's spring mount the hill during spring

[00:16:43] So I'm like no no no no no. It's the hill

[00:16:48] Mound of corn ears in spring. I see that's what it is. Well Tel Aviv is now the capital of Israel

[00:16:55] I'm just so I just I think I don't don't 100% quote me on that but I'm pretty sure that is correct

[00:17:00] That is a place. I don't know the same place this one that they were talking about is in Iraq

[00:17:06] So, I don't know if that translates to anything you're saying not really but

[00:17:12] Cuz I'm not familiar with any of those areas cuz I am an ignorant American

[00:17:18] Just putting that out there. Sorry. Sorry. Well, I mean it sounds like they're talking about a hill in this context

[00:17:24] Translated into a city name in Israel later

[00:17:26] Yeah, I'm almost certain that it's a city in Israel

[00:17:29] Well in all the other places at the very least in all the other places that I checked it was a bead

[00:17:35] But in the particular translation that we're actually reading from it's Aviv

[00:17:40] And I was like but I've heard of Tel Aviv right so yeah hang on hang on

[00:17:45] So yeah

[00:17:47] Okay, also where it says that he was like deeply distressed

[00:17:51] Yeah, like he sat there with those people

[00:17:54] Uh-huh like he went over to them and he sat down and he was so distressed and sad right it could also be

[00:18:00] Astonished okay, which is nothing like deeply distressed right that's just a different interpretation

[00:18:06] Right, so basically again as usual. We have no fucking idea what this word is sure

[00:18:11] It could also be discontented which is more distressed right or wretched even which is like hard distressed

[00:18:19] Which right you know deeply distressed wretched a little discontented or astonished, right?

[00:18:26] You know the large swing of a possible emotions. Yeah

[00:18:30] Yeah, so we don't fucking know what he's feeling what's something he's feeling a thing

[00:18:34] He's feeling it. He's in his feels as the kids say yeah, okay

[00:18:38] So okay just to make sure you're paying attention

[00:18:41] Spirit fucking lifted him up and then I guess put him down because he went and he is all pissed off

[00:18:47] He he went in bitterness and anger in his spirit and

[00:18:51] He had the strong hand of the Lord on him and he came to the exiles who lived in wherever on that hill

[00:18:56] And he sat among them for seven days and he was either sad or astonished got it. Okay. Yep

[00:19:03] All right, so that's where we're at as we continue on now

[00:19:06] Okay, okay at the end of seven days the word of the Lord came to me

[00:19:12] son of man

[00:19:13] Mere human I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel

[00:19:19] So hear the word I speak and give them warning from me

[00:19:24] Okay, now. I don't know if you recall. I want to say it was like back in Isaiah or some shit

[00:19:29] They talked about a watch man like that were sentries guards, right? And I pointed out at the time that

[00:19:37] Harper

[00:19:38] What's her? What's her name Harper Lee?

[00:19:41] Yes

[00:19:42] Who wrote to kill a mockingbird right? Right?

[00:19:46] She had written a text that was never supposed to be published but the second she died

[00:19:52] Them bitches went ahead and like used her name and published it and it's called ghost at a watchman

[00:19:59] Got it and there is a tie-in to this right right. I remember you talking about that

[00:20:04] Yeah, so just bring in a buck. Sure, you know gotta play play the hits

[00:20:08] Yeah, so okay. So God saying to Ezekiel. I've made you a watchman for the people of Israel

[00:20:13] Okay, so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. I'm thinking he ate the word

[00:20:20] Why does he have to keep hearing it like is it glowing inside of but God told him what to say after after he ate

[00:20:26] The words that's right. So maybe the words were just to get him in the mood

[00:20:31] They were power up just like I said they weren't actual words. They were just a power up

[00:20:35] They made him glow. Yeah, but they made him also mad and astonished or sad

[00:20:39] Maybe it could be a reference to him taking drugs and that's what I think just saying I'm saying that's what I think

[00:20:44] It could be it could be when I okay God speaking when I say to a wicked person

[00:20:49] You will surely die and you do not warn them or speak out to dissuade them from their evil ways in order to save

[00:20:56] Their life that wicked person will die for their sin and I will hold you

[00:21:03] Accountable oh for their blood damn you better deliver that fucking message because if you don't and they die

[00:21:09] I'm holding you fucking this way

[00:21:11] I get so many knocks on our doors or like people trying to spread yeah

[00:21:14] Yeah, yes, I just got in Christ. Yeah, because your blood is on their hands fuck. Yeah

[00:21:20] Could you imagine like that? We just like edit that part out of the Bible because I don't like getting all those fucking door knocks

[00:21:25] No, I don't either you know

[00:21:26] It's so invasive like do not be a stranger and knock on my door like that's the end of that sentence

[00:21:32] But if we need to continue on don't be a stranger knock on my door and ask me about my relationship with God like excuse me

[00:21:40] I don't fucking know you right like why would I ever talk to a stranger about my personal beliefs or lack thereof?

[00:21:48] Yeah, anything ever right like I'll tell you about my poop

[00:21:53] You know I'll tell you oh, I had a hysterectomy. I don't have periods anymore that is fucking awesome

[00:22:00] I'll tell you that has been ages since I've had my nails did and I would really like to get that done

[00:22:05] Yeah, like I will tell you all kinds of stuff that is personal

[00:22:09] But not the God shit, you know beat because whatever I say is the wrong answer like if I say yes

[00:22:16] Yes, I've been saved or what the fuck ever do you think that's gonna make them go away?

[00:22:19] You know what even if you're no I don't but it but even if you're religious there's like if it's the wrong religion

[00:22:24] Right, they'll be like but which one there's an implied judgment happening at that interaction right like it doesn't matter

[00:22:31] Unless you are the exact same denomination as them, right?

[00:22:33] There is implied judgment happening when that happens. Yeah, you you don't have the correct message

[00:22:39] No matter what unless you are with us specifically like I didn't see you on Sunday

[00:22:43] Therefore your answer is probably no right even if it's guess it's no yeah, yeah

[00:22:47] I just I feel so offended by that like it reminds me of I haven't seen it yet the movie

[00:22:54] Civil War that was like out in theaters now and it's like cause and a ruckus

[00:22:59] I do want to see it, but there's like a particular scene in the trailer where I

[00:23:05] Forget the dude's name Jesse something or other

[00:23:08] In real life. I don't know his character in the movie. Okay, anyway

[00:23:12] He's standing scary in front of these journalists with his weapon like about to fire on them

[00:23:18] And they're like whoa, whoa, whoa, we're journalists. We're Americans and he's like yeah

[00:23:22] But what kind of Americans right and like that is like the scariest part of the whole movie and it's like really

[00:23:29] Spooky apparently like it really shook people. Yeah, and that's what it reminds me of they're standing at my door with their fucking

[00:23:36] Their weapon is not a gun their weapon is getting in my space and asking me personal invasive questions and

[00:23:44] You know, they're asking me but what kind right what kind are you? I'm like fuck off eat my whole entire ass

[00:23:51] Okay, God's talking now. Okay speaking of ass

[00:23:54] But if you do warn the wicked person and they do not turn from their wickedness or from their evil ways

[00:24:00] Don't die for their sin, but you will have saved yourself

[00:24:03] So don't worry about it. So as long as you get that message that that so long as you get that message out

[00:24:08] You're good. You're good. You're golden said you said the bit you're supposed to say just here

[00:24:12] I made some flyers go past these out. That's it. Right. That's the whole job

[00:24:16] Okay, I think you know if if your damn nation is on the line. I'd want to an exact

[00:24:22] I'd want him to spell out exactly what I'd have to do like in order to not go to hell

[00:24:26] Right, I need a roster to make sure I hit every single person that I'm supposed to hit right. Yeah

[00:24:32] Um, I need a good pencil that's gonna last and then the question is though does writing counter

[00:24:37] Do I have to tell them directly? Right? What exactly what if I spread the message through like an audiogram or something?

[00:24:43] What if I just put up a poster in town? Sure

[00:24:45] Like then does that count? What if I accidentally missed somebody because I was sick that day

[00:24:49] You know what if it's in the future and I just text them, right? Yeah, you know, wait

[00:24:53] What exactly?

[00:24:55] God your god, you can answer this what counts as communication. Sure. Can I whisper it in their ear as I make sweet sweet love to them?

[00:25:03] JK he's not having any of the sex. Can I use smoke signals? Oh?

[00:25:08] You know Morse code right? Yeah, as long as you told them, right? You didn't say that they had to understand it

[00:25:14] Right, right?

[00:25:15] That's the loophole

[00:25:17] Okay, God's still talking again when a righteous person turns from their righteousness and does evil

[00:25:23] And I put a stumbling block before them. They will die. So look at this. Look at this just like in Job

[00:25:29] I'm gonna make shit real hard for them

[00:25:31] They can either trip over the stumbling block that I God and placing before them or not

[00:25:37] Don't worry about it. Yeah, they might they might trip over that shit that I put in front of them

[00:25:42] But don't worry about it. That's him. You know, they would say that's a test, right? It is

[00:25:46] It's a test of their their loyalty to God and their why you gotta tell me you already know

[00:25:52] Is my question you would think you already know

[00:25:55] But what's the test for we go back and forth with that though?

[00:25:59] That's one of those things that's always in the contradictions, right?

[00:26:01] Like does God know everything or doesn't he right? Oftentimes he doesn't but oftentimes he says he does so or

[00:26:08] Enjoy is it for shits and giggles and that if my take on this God that we've been talking about

[00:26:14] Throughout the Old Testament is that he just kind of gets off on fucking people over. That's what it sounds like

[00:26:19] So that's just my take but it feels that way because he's very

[00:26:25] Happy to bring

[00:26:27] Despair and death and destruction of people. Yeah, and and he seems to enjoy doing that

[00:26:32] He is that kid in the backyard that tears the wings off flies and I'm no fan of flies

[00:26:37] But I ain't out there trying to torture him right, you know

[00:26:40] I might swat him and kill him fast, but I ain't trying to you know

[00:26:44] Cause them pain and laugh as they rise on the ground right right cool. Yeah, all right

[00:26:49] So he's putting stumbling blocks and they'll die. Don't worry about it. Okay, okay

[00:26:53] Since you did not warn them though

[00:26:56] They will die for their sin

[00:26:58] The righteous things that that person did will not be remembered and I will hold you accountable for their blood

[00:27:05] Wow, so you could have been good your whole fucking life

[00:27:07] But then you cussed real quick before you like fell down and died

[00:27:11] Yeah, or whatever and then you're fucked and then you're fucked for life or afterlife. Yeah, you know and on top of that

[00:27:17] Ezekiel gets to pay for it right okay?

[00:27:19] Just so you know okay, okay?

[00:27:21] But if you do warn the righteous person not to sin and they do not sin

[00:27:26] They will surely live because they took warning and you will have saved yourself

[00:27:32] So all the gold stars as long as you pass out the flyers, right? Okay?

[00:27:37] All right back to Ezekiel

[00:27:39] The hand of the Lord was on me there and he said to me get up and go out to the plane and there

[00:27:46] I will speak to you hmm. This is a very physical relationship

[00:27:49] He has with God right this is this is the most physical God has been with anybody thus far yeah

[00:27:54] So I am it's intriguing. I have a question though. We give I'm super lazy

[00:27:59] So I would be like you're talking to me now couldn't you just go ahead?

[00:28:02] Why we got to walk to the plane like that's over there

[00:28:05] I don't know like I don't even like to get up and find the remote control for the TV

[00:28:10] Maybe God can't whisper this is his way of whispering you know

[00:28:13] He's like go out where nobody can and then I can talk regular cuz right this frog in my voice

[00:28:18] All right. All right, so he says go out to the plane

[00:28:21] I'm gonna speak to you so I Ezekiel got up and went out to the fucking plane wait God didn't help him

[00:28:27] Get up this time no no okay. No he got up and yeah, that's rough. That's a test right?

[00:28:32] Can you stand?

[00:28:35] Wait wait wait I forgot to test these out with you before I charged you with this duty

[00:28:41] And the glory of the Lord was standing there, you know just like he was over there, but now he's

[00:28:48] Yeah, yeah, like the glory I had seen by the Kabbar River and I fell face down

[00:28:55] Still again more. Yeah, you know fear the Lord don't forget to have lots of fear

[00:28:59] Right, okay, then the spirit came to me and raised me to my feet this time you pick me up

[00:29:05] Yeah, well because he he had gone to the plane so that's why he couldn't help him get up before yeah

[00:29:11] But now he went there so we can help him get up again stand up sit down fight fight fight. It's a cheer, right?

[00:29:16] Yeah, okay

[00:29:18] So he spoke to me and he said go shut yourself inside your fucking house

[00:29:23] Go home get over there shut your door bar it lock it up. I was supposed to tell everybody

[00:29:28] No, not yet. Stay home. No, okay. No, all right. You will in a minute go home first. Okay, okay?

[00:29:35] And you son of man. Yeah fucking son of a bitch. Yeah, yummy or human

[00:29:40] They will tie with ropes you will be bound so that you cannot

[00:29:45] Go out among the people what I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth

[00:29:50] So that you will be silent and unable to rebuke them for they are

[00:29:54] Rebellious people as I've said multiple times go home and get punished like crazy

[00:30:00] I think he's like he's like what I tell the toddler that I babysit you go sit on the couch and think about what you did

[00:30:06] But what did what did he do?

[00:30:07] You go sit in your house and think about what I'm gonna have you do. I just I don't get it like okay

[00:30:13] Okay, anyway, okay, so there's this thing where

[00:30:17] Um when people need to fortify themselves before they take on a duty

[00:30:22] Yeah, I said duty twice now

[00:30:24] Um that they have to fortify they have to cleanse themselves

[00:30:28] They have to have silence and wash up and do all these special things so

[00:30:34] It I've read some notes that say that that's what this is about

[00:30:37] He's saying don't speak to anybody and I'm gonna tie your mouth shut so that you can't so that you'll be

[00:30:43] um physically

[00:30:45] Clean cleansed out. Okay, you know what I mean?

[00:30:48] You won't have any input from people and you won't be able to offer any input

[00:30:52] Let my glow words, you know sparkle in your guts for a bit and work their way through your system

[00:30:58] Got it and then you know when you're ready to take that giant dump

[00:31:01] Yeah, then seven days later. I will let you talk and go pass out my flyers. Okay. Yeah

[00:31:09] But when I speak to you says god, yeah

[00:31:12] I will open your mouth and you shall say to them

[00:31:15] This is what the sovereign lord says whoever will listen let them listen and whoever will refuse let them refuse for they are

[00:31:23] A rebellious people the end

[00:31:26] Yes, son's bitches

[00:31:27] So I mean essentially this whole chapter was go spread my message or you'll be in trouble for not spreading my message

[00:31:34] But first go home. But first go home and don't talk to anybody for a week. Yeah before you go

[00:31:40] Okay, all right. Okay. So that yeah, that's basically what this was about. Yeah. Um just to

[00:31:46] You know recap

[00:31:48] This chapter contains more particular instructions to Ezekiel and it begins with him repeating his appointment to the office

[00:31:56] Sure. Okay. He is then informed that his commission is just for now just at this time

[00:32:03] To the house of israel exclusively

[00:32:06] So he is going to send out be sent out later to speak to other people

[00:32:09] But for now just worry about israel. Okay. Yeah, and he's god tells him that the country man will pay

[00:32:16] Little regard to him. They're gonna ignore him. They're gonna make it seem to be the case for pretty much all the prophets every prophet ever

[00:32:23] Right. Yeah

[00:32:24] And god's like you got to persevere anyways

[00:32:27] You got to get through this. Okay, and then god imbues Ezekiel with

[00:32:32] extraordinary courage

[00:32:34] To enable him to fearlessly declare

[00:32:38] To a disobedient people the whole council of god

[00:32:42] Okay, did you get that out of that that he filled him up with glowy gold courage?

[00:32:47] I mean, I think you could have

[00:32:49] extrapolated that from that

[00:32:51] I didn't take that well

[00:32:52] I mean but like the the giving him the scroll and eating the scroll and infusing that into himself and then

[00:32:57] I took that as like the spirit of the lord like you're taking in the magic words like you have my spirit inside you

[00:33:04] Yeah, I didn't take that as and some of that stuff is courage

[00:33:10] Well, maybe that was the hardening of the head and stuff like that. Oh my god. Oh my god. Follow me here

[00:33:15] he is totally making him a conglomeration of

[00:33:21] um

[00:33:21] The scarecrow and the tin woodman and the cowardly lion

[00:33:26] Because he's giving him that that tin head

[00:33:30] And he's making him have god word smarts. And then also he's given him courage

[00:33:38] I see. See? Yeah. Yeah, he's totally he's given them. He's like i'm on a dorthy plus you

[00:33:44] Okay. Yeah, all right. You're gonna be um an upgraded dorthy

[00:33:48] I'm so for this. Yeah, okay

[00:33:51] So after that the prophet is carried by the spirit that animated the cherubim and the wheels

[00:33:58] Remember he heard the noise of the wings and he's like the fuck is that right? It was yeah, so that all carried him

[00:34:04] um

[00:34:05] Like he wrote on it

[00:34:06] No, it just carried him like like it plucked him like an eagle kind of carries them, you know, all right

[00:34:12] And then like dropped him or whatever. Okay, and um, it kind of carried him over near the people

[00:34:17] To a colony of his brethren

[00:34:20] Okay, okay, and that's where he went and was like sitting by them for seven days

[00:34:26] overwhelmed with astonishment

[00:34:27] Okay, or depressed and angry or

[00:34:31] I don't know what the word is whatever the right word is feels right. He was in the fields. That's right

[00:34:37] We're going back over the chapter and researching here. Is that like you're bringing up some of your notes?

[00:34:41] Yeah, yeah, i'm just re that's why I said recapping. Yeah, i'm just

[00:34:45] Recapping to make sure we understand exactly what all we read. Okay, okay

[00:34:49] So then he's warned of the awful importance of being faithful in his office. No matter what right, right?

[00:34:57] I don't care if they fucking throw rocks at your head. That's why I made it hard

[00:35:00] You always do what I say do what I say fear the lord obey me, right?

[00:35:05] All i'm asking for is everything. Yeah, what that's it, okay?

[00:35:09] And so then he's commanded to go forth into the plane

[00:35:12] So that he can have a visible manifestation

[00:35:17] Of the divine presence

[00:35:19] So you were right

[00:35:20] He had to go out on the plane so that he could like see it good

[00:35:23] Right clearly kind of like if like you want to see the stars at night

[00:35:27] You don't go into the city you go out into the country. Yeah, right? You need that that clear

[00:35:32] You got to get out of the city. Sure. Okay. So yeah, so he went out there and he's like, well, you're so shiny, dude

[00:35:38] and he's again favored with a vision

[00:35:41] And he you know is told here. Yeah, I gave you gold words in your tummy now

[00:35:49] I feel like you could interpret this as like a using drugs ritual. Yeah, like he ingested something

[00:35:55] He's going out to the planes to like experience this experience, you know

[00:35:59] He thinks he got flown somewhere by a fucking angel with wheels

[00:36:04] I mean

[00:36:05] Don't forget don't forget the sound of the helicopter. Right. Yeah. Yeah

[00:36:09] I mean, it sounds it sounds very very drug induced to me and he's like go home, bitch. Yeah, yeah, right?

[00:36:15] No, totally. I agree with you. This dude was high

[00:36:19] AF I wonder who wrote this. I mean it says that he wrote it. I guess but sure. I mean we don't know no

[00:36:25] No, um, I don't recall we can take our best guesses

[00:36:29] I don't recall in my intro if I got into that so I'm sure we'll cover that at some point

[00:36:33] We'll cover it at the end. Yeah when I recap the whole book

[00:36:37] Right, but that is it for this chapter. All right
