Ezekiel: God who travels Chapter 5

 

The God Who Travels

Reflections at the Start of Holy Week 2022

After many months of silence and hibernation, I return to the book of Ezekiel — not as a scholar, not as a preacher, but as a seeker. As we enter Holy Week 2022, my heart stirs again with the weight and wonder of this prophetic book.

Why is Ezekiel so important?

Many read its pages yet skip over details. Some verses seem strange or complex, others overwhelming. Worse still, there are those who deliberately distort its message. But I am not here to do that. I am not writing to explain every mystery or debate every symbol. I write because I am seeking to know who God is — and Ezekiel is a gateway to that revelation.

God’s Glory and His Kingdom

Reading Ezekiel, we begin to see the breathtaking, holy reality of God:

The God who dwells in heaven

The God who rests His feet on earth

The God whose future kingdom will be physical, tangible, and present

Yes — Ezekiel describes the coming Kingdom in intricate detail: the measurements of the temple, the structure of the gates, the glory of the land. To the unspiritual eye, these may seem unnecessary or symbolic. But to those with open hearts, they are a bestowal of grace — a divine blueprint, a glimpse of God's heart for His people and His eternal dwelling among them.

Can God Truly Dwell on Earth?

The question rises: Can God truly come down again — physically, visibly — to dwell with man?

If Jesus, the Son of God, took on human flesh and walked among us…

Then why would we ever think that God the Father is limited in what He can do?

Can He travel from heaven to earth?

Can He set aside His heavenly glory to manifest among us?

Can He move from one place to another?

The answer is: Yes. Everything is possible with God.

But our hardened hearts say no.

Our blinded eyes do not see.

Our deaf ears cannot hear.

What Is God Doing? And Who Will Know?

God has plans — glorious, divine, unstoppable plans — for His people, His temple, and His kingdom.

But we don’t always understand them.

We don’t always see who is chosen, or what will happen to those who are not.

The truth is: we won’t fully know until the day Jesus returns and all of God’s prophecies are fulfilled.

That is why we must study Ezekiel piece by piece. Not with religious pride, but with spiritual hunger.

My prayer is simple:

That as you read, your heart will soften,

your eyes will begin to see,

your ears will start to hear,

and your soul will find peace, joy, and awe in the God who moves —

the God who travels.
