Sermon: Ezekiel (Part 1), God in Exile
Apocalyptic Texts:
- They address both present circumstances and the future.
- They are filled with symbols and imagery.
- Avoid overanalyzing every little detail of the symbols. Focus on the main message.
- Interpret apocalyptic texts in light of the teaching of the rest of the Bible. (Clear interprets unclear.)
- Their purpose is to encourage suffering believers and affirm God’s ultimate victory.
- Don’t always force elaborate end-times schemes onto the text since the focus is God’s justice and final triumph.
- Remember, the goal is to discern the core theological truth being conveyed by the image, so as to avoid unwarranted speculation or overly literalistic readings.
Main Point: Ezekiel’s vision of God leaving His Temple should both encourage and challenge us to truly trust and live for our Lord.
