Daily Bible Reading Experience: Powerful Messages and Prophecies from Ezekiel

In today’s Immerse Bible Reading, we explore the messages from the Lord to the prophet Ezekiel. These readings cover a range of divine instructions and prophetic messages: the role and responsibility of a watchman, the consequences for ignoring divine warnings, and the Lord's desire for repentance over death. God speaks against the leaders of Israel for their self-indulgence and neglect of their flock, and vows to rescue and tend to His people like a shepherd. Prophecies of restoration and cleansing for Israel are juxtaposed with the desolation decreed upon Edom for their contempt and hostility. Through vivid imagery and powerful analogies, Ezekiel conveys God's plans to renew and restore Israel, reaffirm His covenant, and reassure His people of His everlasting presence and justice.

Volume 4

Immerse: Prophets is the fourth of six volumes of the Immerse: The Bible Reading Experience program. Prophets presents the First Testament prophets in groupings that represent four historical periods, beginning with the prophets who spoke before the fall of Israel’s northern kingdom (Jonah, Amos, Hosea, Micah, Isaiah), then before the fall of the southern kingdom (Zephaniah, Nahum, Habakkuk), around the time of Jerusalem’s destruction (Jeremiah, Obadiah, Ezekiel), and after the return from exile (Haggai, Zechariah, Joel, Malachi).

QUICK START GUIDE
3 ways to get the most out of your experience

Use Immerse: Beginnings instead of your regular chapter and verse Bible. This special reader’s edition restores the Bible to its natural simplicity and beauty by removing chapter and verse numbers and other historical additions. Letters look like letters, songs look like songs, and the original literary structures are visible in each book.
Commit to making this a community experience. Immerse is designed for groups to encounter large portions of the Bible together
for 8 weeks–more like a book club, less like a Bible study. By meeting every week in small groups and discussing what you read in open,
honest conversations, you and your community can come together to be transformed through an authentic experience with the Scriptures.
Aim to understand the big story. Read through “The Stories and the Story” (p. 483) to see how the books of the Bible work together to tell God’s story of his creation’s restoration. As you read through Immerse: Beginnings, rather than ask, “How do I fit God into my busy life?” begin asking, “How can I join in God’s great plan by living out my part in his story?”
