Ezekiel

Perhaps no other prophet has stressed the absolute majesty of God as Ezekiel does. This appears not only in the tremendous vision by the river Chebar with which his prophecy opens, but throughout the book. Ultimately, says Ezekiel, whatever God does to or for man is motivated by zeal for his own holy name. The new heart and the new spirit which must exist under the new covenant cannot be the work of man; they too must be the work of God. By such teachings he helped prepare for the New Testament doctrine of salvation through grace.

The Book of Ezekiel is divided as follows:

                                I.           Call of the Prophet (⇒ Ezekiel 1:1-⇒ 3:27)

                             II.           Before the Siege of Jerusalem (⇒ Ezekiel 4:1-⇒ 24:27)

                           III.           Prophecies against Foreign Nations (⇒ Ezekiel 25:1-⇒ 32:32)
