Sign Acts

Dominic Jackson explores how God sometimes communicates through embodied, performative actions that disrupt and confront. Focusing on Ezekiel 4 and other prophetic sign acts throughout Scripture, Dominic traces a form of divine speech that uses physical action as a message through shocking, symbolic warnings intended to prompt and expose. He explains how these acts were not random but deliberately crafted to call God’s people back from sin and toward redemption. We are challenged to recover the power of embodied witness, pointing not only to Ezekiel’s dramatic acts but to the one who ultimately bore our sins in his body: Christ himself.
