Abstract
In the digital age, ministry efforts increasingly leverage technology to communicate the Gospel in innovative ways. This study examines the integration of 360 Virtual Reality (VR) technology into digital ministries, focusing on its potential to convey the prophetic messages of the Book of Ezekiel. Known for its complex symbolism and apocalyptic visions, Ezekiel often presents interpretive challenges for digital generation. VR offers a solution by creating immersive environments that make these messages more relatable and comprehensible. Employing qualitative methods such as text analysis, expert interviews, and literature reviews, this research highlights how VR help to transforms complex symbolism and apocalyptic visions into tangible experiences. By bridging the gap between ancient texts and digital generation, VR not only enhances biblical understanding but also sets a new standard for using digital platforms in ministry and religious education.
