Survey The River
Build the lens first: who wrote the book, when it was written, who heard it first, and why it exists.
Question 1
What sin is being indicted, and against which covenant?
Question 2
What judgment and what promise are tied together here?
Question 3
How does the messianic horizon reach into this oracle?
The Book of Ezekiel is the third of the Latter Prophets in the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) and one of the major prophetic books in the Christian Bible, where it follows Isaiah and Jeremiah. According to the book itself, it records six visions of the prophet Ezekiel, exiled in Babylon, during the 22 years from 593 to 571 BC.
