Would you listen to these men?
By Jeremy | June 14, 2006
- One prophet stripped naked for three years as he conducted his ministry (Isaiah).
- Another one walked around with the yoke of oxen binding his neck (Jeremiah).
- A third married a prostitute who cheated on him repeatedly (Hosea).
- A fourth bound himself with ropes to lay on his left side for 390 days "besieging" a model of a city that he had built in a sandpile, before shifting to his right side for another 40 days (430 days total). Later the same prophet packed his bags and walked around the city in circles with them. Finally, he refused to mourn his wife's death because God told him not to (Ezekiel).

Not an enviable role to be in – that of a prophet.
P.S. Can’t wait ’til this site gets up and going. Abner’s been telling me about it for the past few weeks. I love the graphics, the tabs (great bio!!!) and, of course, your post content.
