📚 Historical Context
Ezekiel was a prophet speaking to the Jewish exiles in Babylon during the 6th century BC, after Jerusalem's destruction due to the people's persistent idolatry and disobedience to God's laws. In this vision, God promises that upon their return to the land, the exiles will actively remove the idols and sinful practices that had defiled the temple and the nation. This reflects God's overarching theme of judgment followed by restoration in the book of Ezekiel.
