Ezekiel's Nine Sinax

Ezekiel's Sinax are best interpreted as dramatic performances designed to visualize a message and enhance its persuasive force. Some who question the efficacious view maintain that the primary function of Sinax is not to coerce events, but merely to predict them. For instance, we're going to hit that in Ezekiel four, four, and five where what Ezekiel's doing actually is something that's already happened.
