<p><span>Ezekiel contains some of Scripture''s most mysterious visions and oracles. The Lord gave this priestly prophet a powerful message of Law and Gospel. The searing indictment of God''s unfaithful people for their idolatry warns of impending judgment. Ezekiel sees a vision of God''s glory, which departs from the temple in preparation for its destruction. Yet God also promises to be a sanctuary for his repentant people during their exile, and to restore them and Gentiles, who will be brought to saving faith.
