Why did Ezekiel eat the scroll?
Just ask AI.
Some have Ezekiel eating a roll. Others have him eating a book. Is that a good translation?
One translation has a scroll in chapter 5 of the Apocalypse and a book in chapter 10. There were no books until the 3rd century. What was in the little book? The Book of Revelation. A second or third John would have to eat it before he could prophesy again. There was only one John who could do that. John Chrysostom who was in Ephesus at the beginning of the fifth century.

You got that right. So what does it mean? He took possession of it so he could prophesy again.
