Ezekiel: God who travels Chapter 19
After putting a city into ancient ruins, God speaks about a King and a prince of this same city overthrown by God.
Ezekiel 28 voice and structure are very distinctive in its figurative speech. Here, God speaks as though we ought to know, as though have seen what He says, being an audience or a witness from whose age springs from the Ancient of Days.
Ancient of Days is a noun, a title given to God whose age was "before the days were created." I have to admit when I am reading this chapter I did not read it straight. I have to stop in between and ponder a few times then back to reading it again.
Ezekiel used words coming from the Lord that make a human mind pop and question a bit. It made me uncomfortable because there is a sudden shift of words and involvement of angelic beings such as guardians of Cherubs, and speaks about someone perfect and beautiful, someone who knows heaven and the garden of God, someone who once walked at the holy mountain of God, someone powerful yet fell into arrogance and disgraced from the Heavenly realms.
I stopped a bit as I felt this pain creeping into my heart and my mind was raging with thoughts... this is the reason why all humans were brought here on earth.. this is the original cause of human suffering... this chapter hurts me a lot for some reason. So I had to soul search again, do I need to write this... what do I have to explain and make humans understand about this being God expelled before human was brought into sin, guilt, and eventually suffering.
I also think is it necessary to dig deeper into this identity and in my own well of thoughts and devotion to the living God to write what the Holy Spirit dictates for me to write?
I am resisting yet God overcomes me tonight. I will write in full measure as God unfolds this no-secret identity of someone who operates in the realms of men and steals more time to bring more men to its downfall.
This is the meat of the matter, you can always judge but I won't be condemned.
