What’s Ezekiel Talking About?

What is the book of Ezekiel really about, and why does it matter for Christians today? In this in-depth Bible lesson, we place Ezekiel firmly in his historical and theological context—during the Babylonian exile (605–539 BC)—and walk through his life, ministry, visions, and message. You’ll learn when and why Ezekiel prophesied, how his priestly background shaped his visions, why Jerusalem’s destruction was certain, and how God’s judgment on Israel and the nations sets the stage for future restoration. With a clear outline of the book, careful attention to redemptive history, and a Reformed approach to Scripture, this lesson helps evangelical Christians understand Ezekiel’s prophecies, the role of exile, the promises of restoration, and how God remains faithful to His covenant even in judgment.
