Forging a Servant of God, Part 11

As we know the first 7 years of his prophetic ministry, Ezekiel himself- his actions- was the revelation that God intended for the people of God in exile (cf. Ezk. 4:3b; 3:26-27). That means Ezekiel could not explain what he was doing when asked; he just had to keep on playing! As such, initially there is no question that Ezekiel would have been thought of as being crazy or insane!
