What is the Book of Ezekiel about?

Ezekiel is the twenty-sixth book of the Bible. Ezekiel was a priest among the captives in Babylon. By the river Chebar the heavens opened and he saw visions of God: four living creatures, a wheel in the middle of a wheel, and a throne with the likeness of the glory of the Lord (Ezekiel 1:1; 1:16). God made him a watchman to warn Israel (Ezekiel 3:17).

Ezekiel often acted out his messages, lying on his side for many days and shaving his head and beard. In a vision he saw the glory of God depart from the temple. After Jerusalem fell, his message turned to hope. God promised to give His people "a new heart" and "a new spirit" (Ezekiel 36:26). In the valley of dry bones, the bones came together and lived as he prophesied (Ezekiel 37:1–10). The book closes with a vision of a new temple and a river flowing from it (Ezekiel 47:1).
