Ezekiel Bible Studies
The End of the Age and Its Restoration
|
Session 3
|
Ezekiel (name means, "God
Strengthens") was a priest as well as a prophet. He was thirty years
of age when he began his prophetic ministry to the Jews exiled in Babylon.
He had been in captivity five years when he began prophesying. For six
years he told the coming fall of Jerusalem, and this takes up one-half of
the book — 24 chapters.
