Introduction to Ezekiel
The viewpoint of the
prophet — in captivity
In the prophecy of Ezekiel
we have left the touching ground we were on in Jeremiah.
He was within with the judgment hanging over the guilty
city, and under the oppressive sense of the evil which
brought on the ruin, bearing a testimony which, as to
apparent result, was of no avail, though it maintained,
in personal sorrow of heart according to human measure,
the glory of God.
Ezekiel had been carried
into captivity with the king Jehoiachin; at least, he was
one of those made captive at that time, and he habitually
dates his prophecies from that period—an important
thing to remark that we may understand the revelations
made to him. For himself there is no more question either
of dates or of kings, of Judah or of Israel. The people
of God are in captivity among the Gentiles. Israel is
looked at as a whole; the interests of the whole nation
are before the eye of the prophet. At the same time the
capture of Jerusalem under Zedekiah had not yet taken
place. This occasions the revelation of that king's
iniquity, the measure of which was filled up by his
rebellion. For Nebuchadnezzar attached value to the oath
made in the name of Jehovah. He counted upon the respect
due to that name, and Zedekiah had not respected it.
The general
contents of the Book
The first twenty-three
chapters contain testimonies from God against Israel in
general, and against Jerusalem in particular. After that
the surrounding nations are judged; and then, beginning
with chapter 33, the prophet resumes the subject of
Israel, announcing their restoration as well as their
judgment. Finally from chapter 40 to the end we have the
description of the temple and of the division of the
land.
