So I went to the angel and said to
him, “Give me the little book.” And he
said to me, “Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will
be as sweet as honey in your mouth.”
- · In Ezekiel 3:1-3, the prophet was also commanded to eat a scroll, the revelation of God to Israel. “This figure of eating the book is familiar, and suggests the feeding of the soul on the Word of God.” (Morgan)
- · Any effective communicator of God’s Word has experienced both the sweetness and bitterness that is associated with His Word (DG)
Jeremiah 15:16 Your words were found, and I ate them, and
Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; for I am called by Your
name, O Lord GOD of hosts.
Ezekiel 2:8 But you, son of man, hear what I say to you,
do not be rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I
give you.
