Ezekiel 18 Individual Responsibility Before God

 In Babylonia – in exile  Time ( / 22 yrs)  National & Political Situation “The period in which Ezekiel lived was one of national and international turmoil, and moral and political decay in Judah” (Homer Hailey, Hailey’s Comments, Vol. I, p. 187). Setting of Ezekiel

 The Need For It They Shall Know That I Am Jehovah Message of the Book

“These exiles, also, were permeated by the delusive idea that their captivity would soon be ended, and that Jehovah could never allow Jerusalem, His chosen city to be ruined. There were false prophets among them, as there were at far ‑ away Jerusalem, who were all the while inculcating this (xiii. 16, 19)...It is certainly clear that there was a need for such a prophet as Ezekiel among the exiles, and it is equally clear his task was a very difficult one. His first task was to disabuse them of their false hope, which required much courage” (J. Sildow Baxter, Explore The Book, Vol. 4, p. 12). Message of the Book

“The mission of Ezekiel was to save from complete apostasy the group in Babylon that had been carried away in 597 B.C. Also he labored to prepare them against the corruptions of those left in Jerusalem when they should be brought to Babylon. At this point one should read carefully Jeremiah 24. The good figs were the captives taken to Babylon in 597; the bad figs those taken in 586. Out of the first group God would find the remnant that should return to Jerusalem. It was Ezekiel’s work to preserve this remnant” (Hailey, p. 188). Message of the Book

 The Need For It  Found 63 Times They Shall Know That I Am Jehovah When Jerusalem was destroyed and the people taken captive (6:7, 10, 13, 14; 7:4, 9, 27; 11:10, 12; 12:15, 16, 20; 13:9, 14, 21, 23; 14:8; 15:7; 16:62; 20:12, 20, 26, 38, 42, 44; 22:16; 23:14; 24:24, 27; 33:29).

When remnant restored (34:27; 36:11, 23, 38; 37:6, 13; 38:23; 39:7, 22, 28).
