Ezekiel

Author – Ezekiel
Time – 593 – 560 B.C.

Summary – Ezekiel was taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar and taken to Babylon. This book records his activities during his exile in Babylon. His message was directed to his fellow countrymen who were still in Palestine, and later to his fellow captives in Babylon.

This yet future Kingdom will last forever, and God’s people will never again be cast out.
