EZEKIEL 14-15:
The
title that the Lord calls Ezekiel is ‘son of man’, which the Lord
is using in the normal sense, meaning ‘ordinary human’. The title
for Jesus— ‘Son of Man’, is a special usage. For that, check out
Daniel 7.
Note in yesterday’s reading when Ezekiel acted out how King Zedekiah would go into exile, Ezekiel covered his eyes. It was revealed to Ezekiel that Zedekiah would go to Babylon but not see it. This was fulfilled since Zedekiah had his eyes blinded after watching his sons’ deaths. This also fulfilled the prophecy against his sons.
SONG OF SOLOMON 8:
Yesterday we heard more passionate expressions
of love, and today is the final chapter of Solomon’s
Song.
MATTHEW 27a:
I
imagine that as the high priest tore his clothes and shouted
‘blasphemy’, the expression on his face would not have been one of
grief, but of triumph. And Peter recognized that Jesus was to be
sentenced to death when he denied Christ.
