Skip to 18:54 to go straight to the Q&A if you already watched the devotional! See Timecodes/Chapters Below to Skip Around! This is Friday's live stream of the Ezekiel 15 meditation, had to edit and re-upload because the streaming got cut off partway through everywhere except Tiktok.

We discuss the idea of luck and fortune in the Bible, how "favor" isn't always what you think it is, the dark side of success, when God "closes his eyes," why suffering is a good thing, the true nature of the rapture, the great tribulation, and the end times, and theories on the epochs of world history as the 7 days of creation and whether 2030 marks the end of "Day 6."

Enjoy!

“Therefore thus says the Lord God: Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.” (Ezekiel 15:6)Ezekiel 15 - Reading & Devotional Meditation - Lent Day 17Tune in daily for a quick reading & devotional through the book of Ezekiel in the Bible, one chapter every day until Easter 2025!#spiritual #meditation #prophecy #angels #visions #lent

Did God deceive his prophets? (according to Ezekiel 14:9; 1 Kings 22)Why is God so severe in his judgments?We discuss God sending the lying prophets, the paradox of his sovereignty and the power of prayer to "change his mind."We discuss maturity through suffering, and the purpose behind our suffering, and when God withdraws from us and is absent.We also discuss the divisions in the church, and why God doesn't just come down to correct our doctrine.#lent #meditation #prophecy #angels #visions #books #booktok

If the so-called “Age of Enlightenment” dawned upon the “Dark Ages,” then it is rather like the dawning of the moon while the sun remains high, only to eclipse it—an omen of the coming night and the governance of a lesser light.Sehnsucht—that strange whisper that haunts us, that familiar ache of the soul mingled with the shadow of ecstasy, a breath of desire which dissipates like a dream—that childhood echo of a home that never was, and a return that never will be. Sehnsucht—the longing induced by beauty so arresting that to behold is not enough; it arouses movement, a desire in the subject to be taken into the object completely, to be one with it, to find in it that far-off, long-lost home, that rest for the soul—to awake as from deep sleep and breathe with Adam, “At last.”“Precisely because they have misled my people, saying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace, and because, when the people build a wall, these prophets smear it with whitewash.” (13:10)An ear trained by the serpent seeks flattery and words of ease—and is animated by them as by a charmer. Such an ear recoils from discipline and words of correction, as a serpent recoils from fire. But an ear trained by the Lord flees from flattery and embraces warnings and corrections, knowing they are the language of authentic love and the refining fire of truth.Tune in daily for a quick reading & devotional through the book of Ezekiel in the Bible, one chapter every day until Easter 2025!#medieval #middleages #lent

Though I hear not his voice, and see not his face, still He is so near that I can feel the warmth of my own breath against his ear. It is both comforting and frustrating. For he does not answer as I wish. Because he is God, and I am not. He controls my life. And I cannot control God. What a terrifying, liberating thought. I am in dread; I am at peace. I panic, and I rest.

“Thus says the Lord God: Though I removed them far off among the nations,

and though I scattered them among the countries,

yet I have been a sanctuary to them for a while in the countries where they have gone.” (11:16)

I read the original source of the biblically-accurate angels meme and explain its origins and spiritual meaning from the prophet Ezekiel's vision 1 & 10—the cherubim and the four living creatures with four faces with the whirling wheels ("wheels within wheels with eyes all around")—and how it applies practically for us with a devotional meditation. We also discuss the symbolism of the law of clean and unclean animals in Leviticus 11, the split hoof (hinds feet) and why God told Moses to take off his sandals before the burning bush.
