History of
the Book of Ezekiel
Ezekiel
has 48 chapters and is the 26th Book of the
Holy Bible. Ezekiel, the son of Buzi, wrote this Book in
approximately 592-570 B.C. He is a prophet of God and
came from a priestly family. His Hebrew name Yehezke'l
means "God Strengthens" or "Strengthened
by God".
In his book of the Old Testament their are parables,
signs, symbols and prophecies to illustrate God's
message to His exiled people. The key to Ezekiel is
"They shall know that I AM the Lord", which is
stated 65 times throughout his book. Ezekiel was into
details. In his book, he specifies 13 dates unlike any
other prophet has or had done.
His wife died as a sign to Judah as Nebuchadnezzar began
his final siege on Jerusalem in Ezekiel 24:16-24. Like
two other old testament prophets, Isaiah and Jeremiah;
Ezekiel proclaims the contrasting messages of hope/fear
and another one of criticism/comfort. His commission was
to be a prophet and watchman of the house of Israel. He
preached and demonstrated God's Truth about the judgment
of Judah. He challenged the Gentiles to turn from their
evil ways or God would judge them for their sins. He
preached God's faithfulness with future blessings for
His people Israel. He was a Jewish "street
preacher" in Babylon for 22 years and he was called
by God to get the people's attention. Just think, he had
to lie on his side for 390 days eating only once a day
an 8 ounce meal cooked on manure, he had to shave his
head and beard, and he had to show no sorrow for his
wife that died.
