I want to talk about the misunderstanding about The Prophet Ezekiel and his abstinence from food.

1st let me say that when we read were The Prophet Ezekiel did not eat in Ezekiel 24:15-18 we must understand why he did this: Ezekiel had an order from God to not eat only the food that people brought to him when his wife died. And it was to show Israel how they would respond when the Lord destroyed the desires of their eyes which was the Temple and God was also going to kill their sons and daughters.

It wasn't a fast because it did not say that he didn't eat ANYTHING it just says he didn't eat the food brought to him by consoling friends.

Too me that wasn't a fast that was only not excepting what those friends brought him when he lost his wife.
