| Description: | The turbulent time of Israel's exile in Babylonia is the setting for this scholarly analysis of the Old Testament book of Ezekiel. At a time when all that Judah and Jerusalem held dear was under assault, Ezekiel was set as a "watchman on the walls" to warn Israel that her disobedience would reult in certain destruction. The author finds special significance in the frequently repeated saying that the prophet "sets his face toward" those to whom he is to prophesy. This formula impels Ezekiel not only to rebuke Israel but the oppressing nations as well. Considerable attention is also given to the sections of Ezekiel which look toward the Last Days. Their similarity to passages in the book of Revelation, as well as the way the title "son of man" is applied both to Ezekiel and to Jesus, is carefully noted. |
