In Ezekiel 3, God makes Ezekiel’s forehead as flint. Ezekiel’s face and forehead is made strong by God’s will. Ezekiel’s forehead of flint is hardened. This means that his mind is to be strong and that he is not to fear those in the church of the Old Testament. But, what is the meaning for God’s people today? Ezekiel 3 provides important guidance for how God’s [people are to behave in the church today. Ezekiel is one of the four ‘major prophets’ in the Old Testament. He prophesied during the time of Jeremiah and Daniel (2 other ‘major prophets’). Ezekiel received many visions while in captivity by the Babylonians. The Babylonian Captivity symbolizes the upcoming Great Tribulation. Most prophecy in the Bible is symbolic. The book of Ezekiel also contains much symbolism.
