Abraham
Genesis 15:12-17
12 As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and
a thick and dreadful darkness came over him.
13 Then the LORD said to him, “Know for certain that your
descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be
enslaved and mistreated four hundred years.
14 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and
afterward they will come out with great possessions.
15 You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be
buried at a good old age.
16 In the fourth generation your descendants will come back
here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure.”
17 When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, a smoking
firepot with a blazing torch appeared and passed between the pieces.
Moses
Deuteronomy 9:18
Then once again I fell prostrate before the LORD for forty
days and forty nights; I ate no bread and drank no water, because of all the
sin you had committed, doing what was evil in the LORD's sight and so provoking
him to anger.
Deuteronomy 9:25
I lay prostrate before the LORD those forty days and forty
nights because the LORD had said he would destroy you.
Ezekiel
Ezekiel 1:28
Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy
day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of
the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of
one speaking.
Ezekiel 3:23
So I got up and went out to the plain. And the glory of the
LORD was standing there, like the glory I had seen by the Kebar River, and I
fell facedown.
Ez 4:4-17
Ezekiel 4:4 “Then lie on your left side and put the sin of
the house of Israel upon yourself. You are to bear their sin for the number of
days you lie on your side.
5 I have assigned you the same number of days as the years of
their sin. So for 390 days you will bear the sin of the house of Israel.
6 “After you have finished this, lie down again, this time on
your right side, and bear the sin of the house of Judah. I have assigned you 40
days, a day for each year.
7 Turn your face toward the siege of Jerusalem and with bared
arm prophesy against her.
8 I will tie you up with ropes so that you cannot turn from
one side to the other until you have finished the days of your siege.
9 “Take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and
spelt; put them in a storage jar and use them to make bread for yourself. You
are to eat it during the 390 days you lie on your side.
10 Weigh out twenty shekels of food to eat each day and eat
it at set times.
11 Also measure out a sixth of a hin of water and drink it at
set times.
12 Eat the food as you would a barley cake; bake it in the
sight of the people, using human excrement for fuel.”
13 The LORD said, “In this way the people of Israel will eat
defiled food among the nations where I will drive them.”
14 Then I said, “Not so, Sovereign LORD! I have never defiled
myself. From my youth until now I have never eaten anything found dead or torn
by wild animals. No unclean meat has ever entered my mouth.”
15 “Very well,” he said, “I will let you bake your bread over
cow manure instead of human excrement.”
16 He then said to me: “Son of man, I will cut off the supply
of food in Jerusalem. The people will eat rationed food in anxiety and drink
rationed water in despair,
17 for food and water will be scarce. They will be appalled
at the sight of each other and will waste away because of their sin.
Ezekiel 43:3
The vision I saw was like the vision I had seen when he came
to destroy the city and like the visions I had seen by the Kebar River, and I
fell facedown.
