📚 Historical Context

Ezekiel was a prophet among the exiled Israelites in Babylon, delivering messages from God about the consequences of Israel's unfaithfulness, including the impending destruction of Jerusalem. In this specific vision, God warns the corrupt leaders in Jerusalem that they will face violent death by the sword at Israel's borders as a demonstration of His divine justice. This prophecy was historically fulfilled during the Babylonian conquest, which led to the fall of Jerusalem around 586 BC.
