Previously we saw that the accounts of Paul's encounter recorded by Luke in Acts 9, 22, and 26, to which Paul refers in Galatians 1:11ff., not only share the same general features as other OT theophanies, but they especially have in view Ezekiel's inaugural vision recorded in Ezekiel 1. We also saw that Ezekiel 1 has certain definite links back to God's appearance to Moses on Mount Sinai (Exodus 24). Much more remains to be said about the links between Ezekiel 1 and the Damascus road theophany, but before doing that there is one other text that we will consider in relation to Ezekiel 1. In short, in this broadcast we will see that Ezekiel 1 not only points back to Sinai but it also points to or is picked up by the prophet Daniel in chapter 7 of his prophecy. The significance of this vis-a-vis Paul's epistle to the Galatians is that it is this that Paul appeals to and which undergirds and supports his apostolic authority and puts the divine stamp of approval on the gospel that Paul preached, thus putting all who oppose the gospel in opposition to the God (= Christ) who appeared to Moses at Sinai, to Ezkekiel by the Chebar river, and to Daniel in his night visions.
