Following the vision the awful silence was broken by the Almighty upon the throne. The prophet was receiving his call. God told the prostrate prophet to rise and accept his commission for service. God wants more than inactive submission. He wants loving service. God called Ezekiel "son of man." One hundred times this phrase is used. Ezekiel was called to declare the message of God --a message of doom to the people. (Read Ezekiel 2:1-10). This doom was justified by their rebellion. Ezekiel had every temptation to "rebel" but he went without flinching to
speak the word.
