Easily lost in this initial grand display is the real beginning of the Book wherein God directs Ezekiel to eat a scroll presented to him by an outstretched hand in Ezekiel 2:8-3:2. This story is a continuation of the opening prophecy and occurs by the river Chebar in the fifth year of the exile of Jehoiachin prior to the destruction of the Temple.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just a few days ago, we read about another scroll, the scroll that Jeremiah instructed Seriah to write down and then cast into the Euphrates river in Jeremiah chapter 51:59-64. Jeremiah instructs Seriah to cast the scroll in the river in the fourth year of Zedekiah&#8217;s reign. From Chapter 52 in Jeremiah, we know that Zedekiah reigned for 11 years, so this trip to Babylonia happened well before the destruction of the Temple. Even though Jeremiah is not written in chronological order, the Seriah story is an odd way to end the book.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps this story is the last one mentioned in Jeremiah to link the books of Jeremiah and Ezekiel.\u00a0 The Chebar canal is thought to be the modern day Khubar river, which is a tributary of the Euphrates river. It&#8217;s possible that the scroll that Jeremiah instructs to be thrown into the Euphrates river at the end of his book, is the very one that God feeds to Ezekiel from the Chebar river at the start of his book. In this way, the prophecies of the land of Israel are transferred to the prophet Ezekiel in exile Babylonia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":73075,"id":73075,"title":"ez2-baton","filename":"ez2-baton.jpg","filesize":0,"url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ez2-baton.jpg","link":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/relaying-the-prophecy\/ez2-baton\/","alt":"","author":"7","description":"","caption":"","name":"ez2-baton","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":73066,"date":"2020-04-07
