Author
: Ezekiel
Time : 593 – 560 B.C.
Summary :
This book records the activity of the prophet Ezekiel
who lived in Babylon during the Jewish exile. His message
was directed to fellow captives and to Jews still present
in Palestine. Both groups refuse to listen and remain
unwilling to accept the rule of Babylon. Ezekiel proclaimed
good news to the exiles that Israel, after being chastened,
would be restored and God’s kingdom would rise.
This yet future kingdom will last forever and God’s
people will never again be cast out.
Key verses :
"O my people, I am going from them; I will bring
you back to the land of Israel . . . I will put my Spirit
in you and you will live" (37:12,14).
