To many readers the book of Ezekiel is a hopeless riddle. However,
if we took the time to study it, we would discover that despite the
strangeness of the man and his utterances this is the most clearly
organized of the major prophetic books. If we persisted, we would
also discover that, from a rhetorical perspective, this priestly
prophet knew his audience; he recognized in Judah's rebellion
against YHWH the underlying cause of the divine fury that resulted
in the exile of his people and the fall of Jerusalem to the
Babylonians in 586 BCE. But he also recognized that YHWH's judgment
could not be the last word. Because his covenant was eternal and
irrevocable he looked forward to a day of spiritual renewal and
national restoration. This is the second of two volumes of Block's
essays on the book of Ezekiel. The essays in this volume explore
the theme of Kingship in Ezekiel - both his assessment of Judah's
historical kings and his hope for a restored Davidic King/Prince -
and the mysterious visions concerning Gog's attack on restored
Israel (Ezek 38-39) and the new temple (40-48). Block brings to
bear decades of study of the book to open up fresh insights on the
ancient text.
