One of the best ways that I could understand a book in the Bible, specially the Old Testament, is by highlighting my impressions. Then, here it is my highlights on the book of Ezekiel(base on NIV translation):

Chapters 1,2,3

• "Above this surface was something that looked like a throne made of blue lapis lauzli. And on this throne high above was a figure whose appearance resembled a man. From what appeared to be his waist up, he looked like gleaming amber, flickering like a fire. And from his waist down, he looked like a burning flame, shining with splendor. All around him was a glowing  halo, like a rainbow the Lord looked like to me. When I saw it, I fell face down on the ground, and I heard someone's voice speaking to me." 1:26-28.
• "Son of man, do not fear them or their words. Don't be afraid even though their threats surround you like nettles and briers and stinging scorpions. Do not be dismayed by their dark scowls, even though they are rebels. You must give them messages whether they listen or not." 2:6-7.
• "The voice said to me, 'Son of man, eat what I am giving you, eat this scroll! Then go and give its message to the people of Israel.' So I opened my mouth, and he fed me the scroll. 'Fill your stomach with this,'he said. And when I ate it, it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth." 3:1-3.

*Here is a poem that I got from the book that I previously mention about writing sentences:

"One day the Nouns were clustered in the street.

An Adjective walked by, with her dark beauty

The Nouns were struck, moved, changed.

The next day a Verb drove up, and created the Sentence."
