Ezekiel
A priest-turned-prophet among the exiles in Babylon, Ezekiel received dramatic visions: the throne chariot of God, the valley of dry bones, and the new Temple. His message moves from judgment to hope — God will restore Israel and give them a new heart.

📝Summary & Overview
Ezekiel's ministry has three phases: before the fall of Jerusalem (judgment oracles, chapters 1-24), oracles against foreign nations (25-32), and restoration prophecies (33-48). His visions are vivid and symbolic: the throne chariot, the scroll he must eat, the valley of dry bones coming to life, and the detailed vision of a new Temple with living water flowing from it. The dry bones vision became a foundational image for bodily resurrection.
