Ezekiel

Ezekiel, the priest, and the son of Buzi is the author of this book. He was taken captive in 597 B.C. among the 10,000 deported by Nebuchadnezzar during his second campaign against Judah. As one of three priest-prophets in the Old Testament (including Jeremiah and Zechariah), Ezekiel emphasized the concerns of the priest: the glory of the Lord, priestly duties, and both the present and future temples.

All of Ezekiel's ministry, except for visionary glimpses of life in Jerusalem, took place in Babylon. Since he prophesied both before and after the destruction of Jerusalem during Nebucahnezzar's third campaign (586 B.C.), his early prophecies emphasize the impending disaster; his later prophecies stress Israel's future restoration, especially their glorious new temple.
