Day 308 of the Holy Bible One Year CHALLENGE. Ezekiel 4-6 tells the tale of Ezekiel doing some serious performance art to show Israel's impending doom. He lies on his side for hundreds of days, bakes bread over cow dung, and even shaves his head as a dramatic way to say, "Hey, bad times are coming because of all the bad stuff you've done."
