Ezekiel 3:1 - Exposition

Eat that thou findest, etc. The iteration of the command of Ezekiel 2:8 seems to imply, like the words, "be not thou rebellious," in that verse, some reluctance on the prophet's part. In substance the command was equivalent to that of Revelation 22:18 , Revelation 22:19 . The true prophet does not choose his message ( Acts 4:20 ); his "meat" is to do his Lord's will ( John 4:34 ), and he takes what he "finds" as given to him by that will.
