Acting out what is coming against Israel, pretending to go into exile, even digging through the wall.  What must people have thought?  Yet, it was God who instructed him.  I wonder how many &#8216;crazy&#8217; people are on orders from God to do what they do to deliver us a message?  It&#8217;s easy to dismiss them all.<br \/>\nEzekiel 12:15 -&#8220;<em>And they shall know that I am the Lord, &#8230;<\/em>&#8221;  Again, God must prove himself to be God through judgement.  (again in v. 20)<br \/>\nEzekiel 12:21-28 &#8211; They had already been warned of the judgements to come, but since it had been a long time coming, they assumed i was still a long way off.  Here we are in the same boat.  It can be easy to assume because Jesus has been a long time coming, He&#8217;s still a long way off or isn&#8217;t actually coming at all.  But He said He&#8217;d come, and He promised that it&#8217;d be a surprise.  I don&#8217;t want to get complacent like Israel was, dismissing what has been promised as not relevant from me, but for some future time.
