August 29, Day 241

Today's Reading

It is utterly amazing what took place in today's reading. Ezekiel was far away in Babylon, but the Babylonian army was besieging Jerusalem. God showed Ezekiel that Judah's King Zedekiah would escape through city walls under cover of darkness, which is exactly what he did. Then Zedekiah would be captured and taken to Babylon, which he was. But Zedekiah wouldn't see Babylon, which he didn't because they put his eyes out after they captured him. Just before they put his eyes out, they killed his sons in front of him so the last memory of sight he would have the rest of his life was the slaughter of his sons. God showed it all to Ezekiel hundreds of miles away. Amazing!
