••• You should recognize and know "and use" God's Hebrew Name! It is יהוה and sounds like
to English speakers... God Himself wrote with his own finger on stone tablets He then gave to Moses. (Exo 31:18) Using the Diving Name of our Creator is a uniting force in this divided world! •••
Ezekiel 2:3-5 MWT . . ."Son of Man, I am sending you to the people of Israel. (Gal 3:26-29) They have rebelled and turned against me and are still rebels, just as their ancestors were. (4) They are stubborn and do not respect me, so I am sending you to tell them what I, the Sovereign Lord יהוה, am saying to them. (5) Whether those rebels listen to you or not, they will know that a prophet has been among them."
Ezekiel here pictures Jesus Christ, as "the Son of Man," being sent throughout the earth to all the sons and daughters of Adam; to turn them (Gal 3:26-29) to יהוה for the preservation of life. (Mat 9:2-8; Mal 3:16-4:3)
Ezekiel 2:3-5 ESV . . .And he said to me, "Son of man, I send you to the people of Israel, to nations of rebels, (Gal 3:26-29) who have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me to this very day. (4) The descendants also are impudent and stubborn: I send you to them, and you shall say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD.' (5) And whether they hear or refuse to hear (for they are a rebellious house) they will know that a prophet has been among them."
Ezekiel 2:3-5 KJV . . .And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, (Gal 3:26-29) to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day. (4) For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD. (5) And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.
Ezekiel 2:3-5 BBE . . .And he said to me, Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, (Gal 3:26-29) to an uncontrolled nation which has gone against me: they and their fathers have been sinners against me even to this very day. (4) And the children are hard and stiff-hearted; I am sending you to them: and you are to say to them, These are the words of the Lord. (5) And they, if they give ear to you or if they do not give ear for they are an uncontrolled people, will see that there has been a prophet among them.
Ezekiel 2:3-5 NWT . . .And he went on to say to me: “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, (Gal 3:26-29) to rebellious nations that have rebelled against me. They themselves and their forefathers have transgressed against me down to this selfsame day. 4 And the sons insolent of face and hard of heart—I am sending you to them, and you must say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said.’ 5 And as for them, whether they will hear or will refrain—for they are a rebellious house—they will certainly know also that a prophet himself happened to be in the midst of them."
