Ezekiel

Ezekiel takes its name from the prophet Yechezkel (יְחֶזְקֵאל), whose name means “God strengthens” or “God will strengthen.” Ezekiel ministered among the exiles in Babylon during a time of national loss, judgment, and uncertainty. Through vivid visions, symbolic actions, warnings, and promises, the book calls God’s people to recognize the seriousness of sin and the holiness of the Lord. Ezekiel reveals God as sovereign, present even in exile, and committed not only to judgment but also to restoration, renewal, and giving His people a new heart and spirit.
