The land was awash with false gods and groaning under all kinds of
social evil. The inevitable happened; God's horrific judgment on
his people started to unfold. A young Ezekiel, carried off to exile
in Babylon, was commissioned by the Lord to warn of a more
devastating and unthinkable judgment. When the most traumatic event
in Israel's whole biblical history did happen - the destruction of
Jerusalem and the Temple - Ezekiel's ministry took a new turn as
the bulk of the displaced population joined the existing exiles. He
struggled to bring some kind of meaning, comfort and hope to a
shattered, decimated and totally demoralised rump of God's people,
Israel. Chris Wright vividly explores Ezekiel's varied and dramatic
mission at several levels: his unwilting preparation for the task;
the social and political background to his work; the character of
his ministry as watchman, evangelist and pastor; and the wider
mission context of Ezekiel's vision - the knowledge of the Lord in
Israel and amongst the nations.
