📚 Historical Context
Ezekiel was a prophet ministering to the Jewish exiles in Babylon during the 6th century BC, a time when Israel was under foreign domination and longing for restoration. In this chapter, he delivers a prophecy about Gog, a leader of a vast coalition of nations, who will launch an attack against Israel in the end times. This message was meant to assure the exiles that God remains sovereign and will ultimately defend His people.
