Yes. God spoke to Ezekiel from the throne. God said, “Mortal, I am sending you to the people of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me.… I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD.’” (NRSV, Ezekiel 2:3–4) Ezekiel knew what to tell the people because God had him eat a scroll containing God’s message.
