Transcription: The first part of Ezekiel mainly concerns the political situation back in the homeland of Judah. False prophets were assuring the exiles that God would never allow his temple or holy city to be destroyed. Ezekiel blasted these phony optimists and broadcasted God's plan of judgment in strong words and public protests. He took no great delight in the doomsday message. Twice, seeing the future, he fell down crying out in horror. In this chapter, when God tells him to cook food on human excrement as a symbolic act, he is too shocked to agree.
