Author
– Ezekiel
Time – 593 – 560 B.C.
Summary
– Ezekiel was taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar and taken
to Babylon. This book records his activities during his exile
in Babylon. His message was directed to his fellow countrymen
who were still in Palestine, and later to his fellow captives
in Babylon. He gave the good news to his fellow exiles that
the nation, after being chastened, would be restored to their
own land and God’s Kingdom would rise. This yet future Kingdom
will last forever, and God’s people will never again be cast
out.
