📚 Historical Context
In the 6th century BC, the prophet Ezekiel was delivering messages to the Jewish exiles in Babylon during the Babylonian captivity, a time of great turmoil and divine judgment on Israel for its idolatry and unfaithfulness. False prophets were misleading the people by predicting peace and prosperity for Jerusalem, ignoring the reality of God's impending wrath and the city's eventual destruction. Ezekiel's role was to expose these deceptions and call the people back to true repentance and obedience to God.
