ANALYSIS
The passage actually begins with 1:28. The prophet hears a voice calling him and is filled with the HolyHoly is a term that originally meant set apart for the worship or service of God. While the term may refer to people, objects, time, or places, holiness in Judaism and Christianity primarily denotes the realm of the divine More Spirit. God sends Ezekiel to the people in exile, and he must speak the words that God gives him. The Lord tells him not to be afraid, but to prophesy “whether they hear or refuse to hear, for they are a rebellious house” (v. 7). In a vision, Ezekiel sees God hand him a scroll filled with words of doom: “lamentation and mourning and woe.” These words which God puts inside of the prophet he must deliver to Israel. The scroll tastes sweet, because this is the word of the Lord (compare PsalmA psalm is a song of praise. In the Old Testament 150 psalms comprise the psalter, although some of the psalms are laments and thanksgivings. In the New Testament early Christians gathered to sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. More 119:103).
