Witness Lee (李常受, pinyin Lǐ Chángshòu) was a Chinese Christian preacher associated with the Local Churches movement and the founder of Living Stream Ministry. He was born in the city of Yantai, Shandong Province, China, in 1905, to a Southern Baptist family. He became a Christian in 1925 after hearing the preaching of Peace Wang and later became a close coworker of Watchman Nee. Witness Lee moved to Taiwan in 1949 as the Communists were advancing in mainland China. During the 1950s, his ministry extended throughout Southeast Asia and in 1962 Lee moved to the United States, relocating the base of his ministry to Southern California. He gave his last public conference in February 1997 at the age of 91. Many of Lee's spoken messages have been published in over 400 books and translated into more than fourteen different languages. Lee's major work is Life-study of the Bible, comprising over 25,000 pages of commentary on every book of the Bible from the perspective of the believers' enjoyment and experience of God's divine life in Christ through the Holy Spirit. Lee was also the chief editor of a new translation of the Bible entitled the Recovery Version.
From Ezekiel's vision at the beginning of the book of Ezekiel to the completion of the House of God at the end, Witness Lee offers an interpretation that makes Christ the center of the book of Ezekiel. I had no idea the book of Ezekiel revealed, in type (picture), so much concerning God's heart's desire for Christ and the Church. In addition, this life study shows how much the book of Ezekiel can apply in our daily Christian experience.
God's recovery by life: the first thing God does is to set the watchman, one who has been commissioned by God to give His people a warning.. Ezek.33:7 It is you, O son of man, whom I have appointed as a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore when you hear the word from My mouth, give them warning from Me.
