📚 Historical Context

Ezekiel was a prophet among the exiled Jews in Babylon, where he spoke out against false prophets who were deceiving the people with misleading visions and divinations, claiming to speak for God but promoting lies. These false prophets gave false hope of peace and security during a time of judgment, which contrasted with God's true warnings through Ezekiel. God promised to intervene and stop this deception, delivering His people and revealing His sovereignty.
