Ezekiel Simplified

Title & Author

The Title of the Book Comes from the Name of Its Author

“Ezekiel” = God Strengthens

Ezekiel was Taken to Babylon in Their First Invasion of Jerusalem

He was a Contemporary with Both Jeremiah and Daniel

He Belonged to the Priestly Lineage

He was Probably About 25 Years Old When He was Taken into Exile

He was 30 Years Old at the Time of His First Vision

And He was 50 Years Old at the Time of His Final Vision

Numbers 4 Tells Us that a Priest Had to Be Within the Age Range of 30 and 50

Because He was Taken into Exile, He Never Had the Opportunity to Serve as a Priest
