Overview of Ezekiel
     The book of Ezekiel contains languages and images that can be hard for us to understand. At the start, God spoke to the prophet Ezekiel. When God's power came over Ezekiel, he saw clouds and flashes of lightning. He looked into heaven and saw creatures floating alongside wheels within wheels. He saw a bright light shining around everything.

     Ezekiel's visions are not easy to interpret, so people sometimes come up with different ideas of what they might mean. In addition to the visions, the book of Ezekiel also tells how Ezekiel used symbols and surprising actions to catch people's attention and get them to listen to God's words.

     The book of Ezekiel has an important message. God's people were living  as prisoners in a distant land, but God still loved them very much. God promised to was away their guilt and give them new hearts so they would gladly obey God. God would bring them back to their homes (Ezek 36:23-28). And God's glory would once again fill the temple (Ezek 43:4-5).

     Ezekiel said God's people were like a valley full of dead bones, but God would bring them to life (Ezek 37). The people were broken, but God would make them whole again. God brings life even when it seems all hope is lost!
