the book of Ezekiel
Ezekiel, a priest and a
prophet, ministers during the darkest days of Judah's history:
the seventy-year period of Babylonian captivity. Carried to
Babylon before the final assault on Jerusalem, Ezekiel uses
prophecies, parables, signs and symbols to dramatize God's message
to His exiled people. Though they are like dry bones in the
sun, God will reassemble them and breathe life into the nation
once again. Present judgment will be followed by future
glory so that "ye shall know that I am the
Lord" (6:7).
The Hebrew name Yehezke'l
means "God Strengthens" or "Strengthened by God." Ezekiel is
indeed strengthened by God for the prophetic ministry to which he
is called (3:8, 9). The name occurs twice in this book and
nowhere else in the Old Testament. The Greek form in the
Septuagint is Iezekiel and the Latin form in the Vulgate is
Ezechiel.
