Simple GiftsAuthor: John and Jenny Wise
Simple Gifts is the gift of time and freedom. It is the simple presentation of the written word spoken without commentary. Join us in ruminating on great stories, poems, history, philosophy, theology, art and science. Amidst chaos, find the valley of love and delight, a true simplicity, where to bow and to bend we will not be ashamed, where we can ponder the greatest words ever written, turning them over and over, till by turning, turning, we come round right.

EZEKIEL, Chapter 34
Episode 1116
Friday, 27 June, 2025
In keeping with our intensive study of Israel's history this year, Jenny and I have concentrated our attention on the Exilic and Post-exilic prophets. We've included Jeremiah in this list, even though he spans the immediate pre-exilic period, leading up to the Babylonian exile. The most enigmatic exilic prophet, most certainly, is Ezekiel. His name means "God's strength." We encourage our listeners to struggle with Ezekiel's difficulty, as we believe God has a great deal of undiscovered meaning in this text. Some of the most exciting references, for me, are those to his contemporary prophet-in-exile, Daniel (Ezekiel 14:14, 20 and 28:3). He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
