Ezekiel               is               one               of               the               most               well-known               prophets               in               the               Bible.

He               never               planned               or               aspired               to               be               a               prophet,               however.

In               his               young               adult               years,               he               might               have               even               been               disappointed               in               the               way               that               his               life               was               turning               out.

The               book               of               Ezekiel               describes               visions               that               he               had               for               the               future,               including               visions               of               times               that               resemble               the               ones               we               are               living               in.

He               also               prophesied               about               events               that               would               happen               in               his               day.

Before               he               could               become               a               prophet,               however,               he               became               a               captive.

The               first               three               verses               of               Ezekiel               1               describe               how               he               went               from               captive               to               prophet,               and               how               he               found               God's               will               for               his               life.

In               Ezekiel               1:1,               we               see               how               Ezekiel               was               thirty               years               old               when               the               book               starts.

In               verse               2,               we               can               see               that               he               had               been               a               captive               for               five               years               at               the               time               ("the               fifth               year               of               Jehoiachin's               captivity").

This               means               that               Ezekiel               had               been               twenty-five               years               old               when               he               was               taken               into               captivity.
               In               his               early               twenties,               Ezekiel               was               probably               living               a               normal               life               as               a               priest-to-be.

The               males               in               his               family               were               priests,               and               from               birth,               he               was               told               that               he               would               grow               up               to               be               a               priest.

Levites               of               the               right               lineage               had               to               be               30               years               old               before               they               could               enter               the               priesthood,               which               we               can               see               in               Numbers               4:1-3               ~               "from               thirty               years               old               and               upward               even               until               fifty               years."               He               probably               started               hearing               Jeremiah's               warnings               that               the               country               was               in               trouble,               and               that               their               sins               would               cause               the               inhabitants               to               go               into               captivity.

When               he               was               25,               Babylon               came               and               took               them               away.
               In               captivity,               Ezekiel               could               never               become               a               priest,               as               he               thought               he               was               destined               to               be.

The               temple               was               in               Jerusalem,               and               Ezekiel               was               living               in               Babylon.

Perhaps               he               felt               disappointed               that               his               life               was               turning               out               differently               than               he               expected,               but               he               continued               to               follow               the               Lord.
               At               age               30,               Ezekiel               was               at               the               river               Chebar               with               other               Israeli               captives               (Ezekiel               1:1).

When               there               was               no               temple,               Jews               would               sometimes               meet               at               the               river               to               worship,               which               we               can               see               happening               in               Acts               16:13.

More               specifically,               we               can               see               in               Psalm               137:1               how               the               captives               would               sit               down               and               weep               as               they               remembered               Zion.

It               was               at               the               river,               among               the               other               Jews,               that               Ezekiel's               life               would               be               changed               forever.

Ezekiel               1:1               describes               his               experience:               "The               heavens               were               opened,               and               I               saw               visions               of               God."
               God's               will               for               Ezekiel               was               not               for               him               to               remain               in               Jerusalem               to               become               a               priest.

He               was               meant               for               something               greater.

Although               he               may               have               been               disappointed               at               age               25,               "the               hand               of               the               Lord               was               upon               him"               (Ezekiel               1:2).

He               continued               to               follow               the               Lord,               even               through               his               disappointment.

At               age               30,               instead               of               becoming               a               priest               in               the               temple,               God               sent               him               visions,               and               he               became               an               exiled               prophet               that               would               see               visions               of               things               to               come.
               Many               of               us               have               experienced               disappointment               in               our               lives.

We               may               have               lost               money               in               the               stock               market;               perhaps               we               failed               out               of               college               or               weren't               picked               for               the               promotion               that               we               wanted.

Maybe               we               were               destined               to               be               a               sports               star               but               were               injured.

Whatever               you               think               you               were               meant               to               do,               if               your               plans               have               to               change,               keep               on               following               God,               and               eventually,               God's               will               for               your               life               will               be               made               clear.
