Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.
Prophets had to do some weird things, to be sure. Isaiah walked around naked for three years so that when people would ask him about it, he could say to them, "Similarly, you will go away in shame." I feel I could have made a point about shame by walking around naked for a week. A month tops. But three years!? That's excessive.
Jeremiah wore a wooden yoke on his neck for an unknown period of time. Was he the first prophet of God to engage in functional strength training?
Ezekiel lay on his side for 430 days, bound and cooking his meals over cow dung he had stored up. He did this all while lying next to a model of Jerusalem. Let's not even ask what he did for bathroom breaks. Most prophets seemed to have a servant, so maybe emptying the bucket was that guy's job? Or did Ezekiel's wife help out?
Speaking of Ezekiel's wife, God kills her in chapter 24 to show the exiles in Babylon that, in the same way, the pride of their eyes, Jerusalem, would fall and be taken from them suddenly. Now, keep in mind that God told Ezekiel the people would NEVER listen to him. They would NEVER hear what he had to say.
