The answer is: Ezekiel

Eze 3:2

Ezekiel’s episode of munching on a scroll is one of those fascinating moments that really makes you stop and think! This is the same Ezekiel who had those wild visions of wheels within wheels and fiery cherubim. Picture it: God tells him to eat! Thankfully, it was just a scroll and not an actual, you know, book buffet.

Now, why eat a scroll? It symbolizes Ezekiel taking in God’s message, much like how we’re supposed to digest the teachings of divine truths in our lives. It's a way of saying, "This isn’t just something you read; it should become a part of you." In fact, when Ezekiel describes the scroll, he says it was “sweet as honey” in his mouth. Isn't it interesting how we sometimes find comfort in difficult truths?

Comparatively, if you think about Revelation 10:9-10 in the New Testament, you see John also eating a scroll. There’s a strong echo between the two—a pipeline between Old and New Testaments! This metaphor of consumption illustrates how prophecy must penetrate deeply into our souls, intriguing for prophets tasked with delivering tough messages.

Fun fact: the Book of Ezekiel was written during the Babylonian exile—this symbolizes hope amidst despair. That scroll could also represent the idea that God’s word can bring sustenance even when you're feeling spiritually starved. Yum!
