A DIVINE TAPESTRY: Summaries and Memory Verses from Every Chapter of Scripture
RYAN McGRAW
Ryan McGraw helps readers become more familiar with the storyline of the Bible, through summarizing the content of every chapter in Scripture, and by singling out key verses. The summaries indicate what happens and why in each chapter, paving the way for letting the Bible tell its own story in its own words.
SAMPLES FROM THE BOOK
Ezekiel
God removes His covenant presence from His people, dwelling with the exiles instead, and promises to restore His presence permanently by sending the Spirit under the new covenant
CHAPTER 1- Ezekiel Sees God on His Chariot, Introducing the Main Themes of his Vision
‘And above the firmament over their heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man high above it. Also from the appearance of His waist upward I saw, as it were, the color of amber with the appearance of fire all around within it; and from the appearance of His waist and downward I saw, as it were, the appearance of fire with brightness all around. Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. So when I saw it, I fell on my face, and heard a voice of One speaking.’ Ezek. 1:26-28.
CHAPTER 2- The Lord Sends Ezekiel to Prophesy Whether the People Hear or Refuse, Commanding Ezekiel to Eat the Scroll as a Symbol of Assimilating God’s Word into his Life and Ministry
‘You shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious. 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. Now when I looked, there was a hand stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it. Then He spread it before me; and there was writing on the inside and on the outside, and written on it were lamentations and mourning and woe.’ Ezek. 2:7-10.
CHAPTER 3- The Spirit of God Shows Ezekiel the Glory of the Lord in the Temple, Giving him the Terms of his Prophetic Ministry
‘Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; also you will have delivered your soul.’ Ezek. 3:21.
CHAPTER 4- Ezekiel Portrays the Siege of Jerusalem Personally, Cooking his Bread Over Cow Dung
‘Then the LORD said, “So shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, where I will drive them.”’ Ezek. 4:13.
CHAPTER 5- Ezekiel Shaves his Head, Sending his Hair in Thirds to the Sword, Famine, and Pestilence, Saving a Few Hairs in his Belt to Symbolize the Remnant that God Will Save
‘Thus shall My anger be spent, and I will cause My fury to rest upon them, and I will be avenged; and they shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken it in My zeal, when I have spent My fury upon them.’ Ezek. 5:13.
