Ezekiel 11:24

Afrikaans 1983

Daarna het die Gees my opgetel en my teruggebring na die land van die Galdeërs toe, na die ballinge toe. Dit het gebeur in die gesig wat ek deur die Gees van God gesien het. Die gesig was toe verby.

What Does This Mean?

In this verse, God's spirit lifts Ezekiel up and brings him in a vision to the people of Israel who are captives in Chaldea. The vision that Ezekiel had seen then leaves him. This shows how God's spirit can transport someone in a vision to share important messages with others.

Explained for Children

Imagine you're dreaming about something really important, and then you wake up and go tell your friends about it. That's what happened to Ezekiel, but God's spirit was like a magic carpet that took him to see and tell others about what he saw in his dream.

Historical Background

Ezekiel, a prophet, wrote this during the time when the people of Israel were captured and taken to Babylon (Chaldea). This occurred around 593 BCE, and the message was for the people who were in exile, to give them hope and guidance.

Living It Out Today

Just as Ezekiel was taken to share his vision, you can think about how you can share important messages or experiences with others in your community or among your friends. This could be sharing a lesson you learned from a book or an experience you had that could benefit others.
