In 597 BC a large contingency of Israelites were taken into captivity to Babylonia. Ezekiel the prophet was among them. From there God gave him dramatic visions. "The heavens opened and I saw visions of God."
Ezekiel had his work cut out for him. God describes His people as obstinate, hard-headed, hard-hearted and rebellious. He even calls them "pagans." It was highly unlikely that these fellow-captives would give Ezekiel a hearing. But Ezekiel had a message to give to them. And God would hold him responsible to speak for Him - no matter what response he got.
Strap it in, here we go!
