Ezekiel’s visions open with the breathtaking sight of God’s glory—not in Jerusalem’s temple, but among the exiles by the river in Babylon. Through dramatic imagery, symbolic acts, and divine messages, Ezekiel reveals a God who is holy, sovereign, and present even in judgment. Though the people’s rebellion led to ruin, God promises restoration, a new heart, and a future where His Spirit dwells among them once more. The book of Ezekiel reminds us that even when all seems lost, God’s glory has not departed—it is moving to redeem and renew His people.
