| Ezekiel was called as one of the Lord's prophets in Jerusalem just before the end of Jeremiah's ministry. He was a contemporary of the prophet Daniel, though his 23-year ministry was only a third as long as Daniel's 71-year calling. He began his prophetic labors in Judah, but was carried into captivity in Babylonia during the first deportation, about 598 B.C. He lived in poverty in Babylonia.
After presenting extensive background and historical data, the book analyzes each chapter of Ezekial in one of four main sections: one, his call to the ministry and introductory visions, two, his prophecies against Judah and Jerusalem, three, his prophecies against srrounding nations, and four, his prophecies of the last days. Each chapter is outlined, with numerous historical and interpretational notations provided.
To understand the Book of Ezekiel, you must know ancient history, LDS doctrines, and have an in-depth knowledge of last-days events and chronology. This book provides those essential insights with clarity and economy of words.
Ezekiel is the most important scriptural source for many key last-days doctrines. These include the restoration of the House of Israel, with the ten tribes and Judah reunited in their promised land; the rule of David the Prince; the Battle of Armageddon; the rebuildingof the Jerusalem temple and the reinstituting of temple ordinances there; and the expanded borders of the land of Israel in the last days.
No other book is as effective a study guide for Latter-day Saint readers on Ezekiel's great prophetic contributions as How to Understand the Book of Ezekiel.
