Ezekiel — Book Overview

About this episode
We live in an age that wants a domesticated God. We want a God who is a respectable hobby, not a consuming fire. Their gods were local deities, tied to a particular mountain, city, or temple. If you conquered the city, you conquered its god. We live in an age that worships at the altar of the Gross Domestic Product. Our high priests are the central bankers, and our prophets are the market analysts. The cardinal sin is a disruption of the supply chain, and the chief virtue is a quarterly report that exceeds expectations. We live in an age that is desperate for community, and utterly confused about how to build it. Men gather together in great cities, and yet have never been more isolated. They build towers of glass and steel, monuments to their own ingenuity, and then wonder why their souls feel like empty parking garages.
