Dung Prayer

##Background: Ezekiel is a priest who was taken into Babylon during the first wave of the captivity. He laments not being called as a priest and God sends him a massive vision. He is sent to warn the people that the second wave will be as bad as the first.* Ezekiel 4:1–8 *“Now, son of man, take a clay tablet...”** Ezekiel 4:9-17 *“You shall eat it as a barley cake, having baked it in their sight over human dung.”** Acts 10:10-20 *“What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy.”*##Going Deeper group study questions:* Read Ezekiel 4:1; Isaiah 20:2; Jeremiah 13:1; 18:2; 19:1 * Why do you think God ask the prophets to use physical illustrations when giving prophecy?* Read Ezeekiel 4:14; Acts 10:10-20 * Compare this story to the one from Ezekiel * What happens when we defile ourselves? * How can we become clean? * Is there anything you missed out on because you were not ready?
