Question 1:  Ezekiel 3:16-21    13: 1-11, 17-23

God appointed Ezekiel as "Sentinel" (watchman) for Israelites, indicating one of the most important functions of a prophet: “give warning for pending disaster” . In Chapter 13, Ezekiel described and warned people of the danger in listening to false prophets. What are the functions and responsibilities of a true prophet? What are the responsibilities of the audience?

上帝指派以西結作以色列 “守望的人” 代表 “警告將至的災禍” 是先知的職務之一. 在十三章又指出假先知的作為以及誤從他她們的下場.  真先知到底有什麼職務與責任? 身為聽眾的咱又有什麼責任?

Question 2:  Ezekiel  8:5-17   9:3   10:18-22

Ezekiel 8 records a horrifying picture of spiritual leaders using God's holy temple to worship pagan gods. Then, in one of the most tragic scenes of Ezekiel, the Lord's glory lifts from that temple and departs.

The Bible reveals God is everywhere at all times, so we know, with our intellect, that God is always with us - whether or not we can feel it at that moment.  Does this seem to contradict with the passage above?  Can we take God's presence for granted as if we can turn him on or off?  How can we live our life in ways that glorify God and show His everlasting presence?

以西結第八章描述聖殿滅亡前宗教領袖種種拜偶像褻瀆上帝的劣跡. 最後上帝收回祂對以色列的恩賜; 祂的榮光憤怒地離開聖殿.

聖經中又常常指示咱說: 上帝無所不在. 咱也常常安慰自己說: 即使在逆境中, 感覺不到上帝的存在, 上帝還是與咱抵在.

這兩種說法是否互相牴觸?  咱可以將上帝當作自來水的水龍頭, 隨己意開關自如嗎?咱應該如何以榮耀上帝的原則來過咱的生活與上帝永遠同行呢?
