Transcription: God warned Ezekiel that few Israelites, if any, would listen to his message. He had to become as stubborn and unyielding as the audience he addressed. As a result, Ezekiel lived a lonely life. People thought of him as a dreamy storyteller and scoffed at his pessimistic predictions of Jerusalem's fall. Still, despite the negative tone of his prophecies, Ezekiel never once lost hope. He could see past the tragedies of the present day a future time when God would restore His people and His temple.
