Joe: Alright, so what do we have for this chapter?

Bible Expert: Well, in Ezekiel 2, we see God appointing Ezekiel as a prophet. God tells him to stand up and to speak to Israel, even though they are a rebellious nation.

Joe: Wow, that sounds intense. Does God give Ezekiel any specific instructions?

Bible Expert: Yes, God tells Ezekiel to be brave and to speak his words, no matter what. God also tells him not to be afraid of the people he is speaking to, even though they are rebellious.

Joe: So what happens then?

Bible Expert: After God appoints Ezekiel as a prophet, he gives him a scroll with writing on it. He tells him to eat the scroll, which symbolizes the Word of God, and to prophesy to the people.

Joe: Wow, that's crazy! Does Ezekiel do what God tells him to do?

Bible Expert: Yes, Ezekiel obeys God and eats the scroll. He then receives the Word of God and begins to prophesy.

Joe: Wow, that sounds like an intense moment. Is there anything else in the chapter?

Bible Expert: Yes, there is one other thing. God tells Ezekiel that he will have to go to the people of Israel and speak his words, no matter what happens. Even if they don't listen, he is still to speak his words.
